The celebs are considered fashion influential by how much product they can sell. We might both think a mtv reality star like Lauren Conrad or LC is stupid and lame, but she is SO popular and followed SO MUCH by young people, that she can move A LOT of product, more than any model. She is EXTREMELY popular and ALL the young people follow her on all message boards. I witnessed it first hand.
If she wears something, the next day THOUSANDS of people will buy the same stuff. If a supermodel does, like Giselle, it might will have the same impact, she does not have the same "following" that LC does, young women just idolize her. You completely underestimate the power of certain celebs to move product.
Models do not influence fashion (except for Kate Moss), but that's because she has great style in her daily life. EVERYONE looks at celebs for fashion influence these days, no one cares about models.
