Models.com loves Gemma as much as we do!
After about a bazillion weeks of leading their Top 50 Models, Gemma is on her way to the MDC Icons list, joining other top beauties such as Kate, Daria and Gisele.
Gemma's had a remarkable past five years- we've seen her in so many campaigns and editorials that we can spot her on the street even when she's wearing a hat and huge sunglasses. But at 20 years old, is she really ready to be an icon?
The turnover of models is so fast now that they sometimes disappear after just a season. And, apparently, girls unable to order a drink can rank on a list topped by Kate Moss and Carolyn Murphy.
As much as we love Gemma, especially as of late, we can't help but take this move as a sign of the modeling industry's habit of going through models like Kleenex. And anyway, isn't Gemma a movie star now?

She is not an icon, to be an icon you have to transcend you line of work, Gemma is practically anonymous outside fashion circles or people that pay attention to fashion, the average Joe never heard of her.
