It is said that the fashion industry has no hundred days of popularity, fashion models are even more so, in the end, it is a matter of color to others, how long can it be good?
But the Big Five, the five supermodels, pioneered the supermodel phenomenon in the 90s, and their influence continues to this day.
Linda Ivangrista: Don't get out of bed for $10,000
Counting the story of the Big Five, of course, it starts with the head of the supermodel, Linda Ivangelista.
She was the ancestor of the supermodel phenomenon of the 90s, and was praised by Galeries Lafayette Karl Lagerfeld as "the purest model".
She once said domineeringly: "Without a $10,000 salary a day, we won't get up and go to work", and the top brands of the four major fashion weeks have her figure.
But in 2016, Linda Ivangelista accidentally suffered from abnormal lipoplasia due to cryolipolysis, which was an absolute fatal blow to models who were professional in showing their appearance and figure.
Although she was once depressed, she still disclosed her situation in 2021, and returned to shoot Fendi commercials and the cover of the British version of "Vogue", etc., to overcome the imperfections of her body with her modeling expertise.
"Love yourself as you always looked" is the lesson Linda Evangelista taught us in life.
Cindy Crawford: Sweet sister to mother of supermodels
Cindy Crawford, who came from a small American town and became a supermodel, has always been known for her healthy and sweet image.
In addition to the flyover and magazine cover of Fashion Week, she is also a frequent guest on singer MVs and movie sets, spanning fashion, film and television, and popular American men in the 90s!
In 2015, she guest starred in the MV of Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood", and she is still domineering, no less than the younger generation of model stars.
In 2016, she officially announced her retirement and took over her modeling career to her daughter Kaia and became a supermodel mother.
In recent years, she has also actively developed her own beauty brand, turning herself into a strong woman in the workplace and promoting the self-confidence and beauty of women.
Naomi Campbell: The black pearl that people love and hate
As the first black model to appear on the cover of the September editions of Time, Vogue, the British edition, and the September edition of Vogue, Naomi Campbell is a legend of the fight against discrimination.
Her skin color was both an advantage and a taboo at the time, but it was also possible for Yves Saint Laurent and her comrades Christy Durrington and Linda Ivangelista to shine in the fashion industry.
Although she has always spoken out for people of color, she personally banned Tyra Banks, a junior who is also a black model, and the two even confronted each other on TV shows; He was also sentenced to a social service order for his fiery personality.
Such a hot life, although it is mixed, but it also leaves a rich story.
Christy Durrington: The perfect woman
Among the many supermodels with flowery tricks, Christy Durrington, who was praised by Karl Lagerfeld as the most perfect facial features, is a gentle intellectual promiser.
Turquoise eyes, rich lips, and a straight nose make Christy Dorrington a makeup model.
Because of this, she began shooting advertisements for makeup brands such as Maybelline and Shiseido at the age of 14, and became a royal spokesperson.
After fading out of the fashion industry, Christy Durrington still actively uses her influence to advocate for women, and she even made the "No Woman, No Cry" documentary to promote the protection of pregnant women and mothers.
At the age of 40, he studied for a master's degree in public health at Columbia University, exuding intellectual charm from the inside out.
Claudia Chevre: Goddess of learning
As a Chanel model in the 90s, Claudia Chevor is the quintessential blonde European beauty.
With her delicate appearance and tall figure, she swept the flyovers of major brands until she faded out of the fashion circle in 2002 when she married Matthew Vaughn, the director of "Ace Agent: Agent Academy".
Then in 2017, she released her autobiographical book of the same name, documenting her 30 years in the industry.
In 2021, he curated a photography exhibition called Captivate at the Museum of the Palaiss düsseldorf in Germany, exhibiting his own photographic collection.
Not long ago, she guest edited an art feature for the German Vogue, which perfectly presents her thorough understanding of aesthetics.
