I'm a girl who loved the era of the supermodels of the 90's. For their September issue, Interview magazine are releasing 6 covers of these supermodels - Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Amber Valetta and Stephanie Seymour photographed by the amazing Mert Alas and Marcus Pigott.
NAOMI CAMPBELL : When I started out modelling, there weren't casting directors and there weren't stylists, so you just dealt directly with the designer. We were all much closer back then.
KATE MOSS : I lived in New York for seven years, although I was always in denial about it. Even though I had an apartment there, I always pretended I was just visiting. I do love New York but I am a Londoner at heart.
LINDA EVANGELISTA : I love everything about fashion. I used to stay with Azzedine Alaia until four in the morning, letting him stick pins into me because it was a dream.
CHRISTY TURLINGTON : While
I haven't worked as a full-time model for about 20 years, I've always
maintained a few relationships. Calvin and Maybelline are the two
longest. I'm flattered by the offers I receive, but there's no real
strategy to the way I choose what to do these days. If I'm in a good
mood and have the time, I'm more likely to consider it. I needed to think
seriously about the CK underwear campaign, because I knew it would be
everywhere, and I wasn't sure I wanted to be photographed in my
underwear now that I'm a mother. But I knew the images would be tasteful
and I liked the idea of continuing a relationship with a brand that I
grew up with.
STEPHANIE SEYMOUR : I would like to see fewer actors modelling - or if they are going to model to the extent they are modelling, then I think models should be actors.
My favourite is Christy - not just the cover but the supermodel of all time!
Which is your favourite?
* There is a seventh cover being Daria Werbowy, it's a stunning cover also but for me she's a
later edition to this edition of veterans.
