Macpherson, who is now 58 years old, said that she believes the modeling industry has changed a lot since she first started out.

"When I started modeling, it was all about the clothes," Macpherson said. "It wasn't about the models. The models were just there to show off the clothes. But now, it's all about the models. The clothes are just there to show off the models."

Macpherson said that she hopes that the industry will eventually return to its focus on clothes.

"I think it would be great to see the industry go back to its roots," Macpherson said. "I think it would be great to see the focus go back to the clothes. The models are important, but they're not the most important thing."

Macpherson's comments come at a time when the modeling industry is facing increasing criticism for its lack of diversity and its unrealistic beauty standards. In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile campaigns calling for the industry to do more to promote body positivity and inclusivity.

Macpherson's comments are a reminder that the modeling industry is not just about glamour and glitz. It is also a business, and businesses need to be profitable. In order to be profitable, the modeling industry needs to appeal to the broadest possible audience. This means that the industry needs to be inclusive and diverse.

The modeling industry has a long way to go before it can be considered truly inclusive and diverse. However, Macpherson's comments are a sign that the industry is moving in the right direction.
