I see that barry.popik at yale.edu has antedatings of _supermodel_ (OED 1967):

6 October 1942, Chicago Daily Tribune, pg. 21:
"Super" Models Are Signed for Fashion Show

So you want to be a model!
by Clyde Matthews (Dressner -- ed.)
Garden City, NY: Halcyon House
Revised edition 1948 (original edition 1943)
Pg. 256:
She will be a super-model, but the girl in her will be like the girl in you -- quite ordinary, but ambitious and eager for personal development.
(In another edition, this second-to-last page is Page 237. The "model of tomorrow" is discussed -- ed.)
