Fashion is a beautiful melting pot, with good clothes, good ideas, and good flesh.
Unconsciously, it has been ten years in the pit, and today I want to talk to you about our common love for this beauty.
Because of my fascination and love for this beauty, I changed my career halfway, from a finance student in Matsue to France to study luxury goods.
Talking about my first pit, it was Fendi's Spring/Summer 2010 show.
Fantastic crystal heels, fresh-colored tulle straps, fairy princesses like fairy tales, and the beautiful figure of a supermodel.
That year I was in my second year of junior high school, like a little girl sleepwalking in Wonderland and breaking into Candy Castle, I flipped through the runway and was dazzled.
The monthly pocket money will be used to buy Vogue, while classmates are chasing supergirl fast men and meteor showers, I have been to the little KK Karlie Kloss, the old fox Angela Lindvall, the big KK Karolina Kurkova, the wolf general Adriana Lima, the ji niang niang Gisele Bündchen, the knife knife Doutzen Kroes...

At that time, the catwalk show was full of gods, but there were these five supermodels, just like the supreme immortals, although they had been away for a long time, their status was still unshakable.
In 1990, the English edition of Vogue began its annual publication
From left are: Naomi Campell, Linda Evangelista, Tatjana Patitz, Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford.
They created the golden age of supermodels, in the Models.com rankings, they were the top of the Legends (legendary) category, in that era, there was no instagram, no refined photos, no lifestyle shows all over social media, just simply walking the runway, taking hard photos, appearing in advertising videos, and even some would not take beautiful selfies.

But their beauty is a very pure kind, each has its own temper, each has its own style, and today I want to review this most original charm with you.
Linda Evangelista
First of all, starting from the protagonist of our selfie above, linda Evangelista, the "originator of supermodels".
As an Italian-Canadian, Linda has a strong aristocratic appearance and temperament,
In 1981, at the age of 16, she officially began her career by signing up with Elite Model Agency through a Canadian beauty pageant.
Three years later, the cover of her first major issue was L'Officiel, published in November 1984.
Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, ELLE and other big-name magazines followed, and she is the record holder for the total number of covers of the Italian edition of Vogue (24 photos) so far.
Then, in 1985, she became Karl Lagerfeld's inspirational muse, appearing on Chanel's multi-season runways and commercials.
"There's no more professional model in the world than Linda."
----Karl Lagerfeld
In addition to Chanel, she works for luxury big names like Versace, Valentino, Yves Saint Lauren, Thierry Mugler, and more.
In 1988, Linda's career reached a huge turning point, and at the suggestion of photographer Peter Lindbergh, she cut her hair short and became the object of imitation by women all over the world, including Demi Moore, who starred in "The Ghost of Man".
Her spontaneous short hair perfectly set off her heroic features, and she now has irreplaceable recognition, such a female image made the entire fashion circle at that time shine.
"We wouldn't get out of bed without a $10,000 a day." Linda described her work in an interview with the October issue of vogue in the United States, and also ushered in the era of supermodels.
Cindy Crawford
Speaking of Cindy Crawford, everyone must be familiar with her, she is the mother of Kaia, a popular fried chicken in the fashion industry.
Cindy Crawford was born in the United States in 1966 and also signed a contract with Elite Agency to start a modeling career.
Cindy in the 90s, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of atmosphere, Cindy was "the dream goddess of all American men."
Cindy's steps are full of styles,
Her first trip to Fashion Week was in 1990, when she walked the catwalk for Donna Karan's Spring/Summer 1991 collection, with curly brown hair like a beauty coming out of a painting.
She then appeared at fashion shows at major brands such as Versace, Calvin Klein, Yves Saint Laurent and others.
The 1992 Super Bowl commercial for Pepsi was starred by Cindy and aired at that year's Super Bowl.
This ad became a successful example in the history of commercial advertising, and Cindy's image of a healthy, enthusiastic, sexy American girl has been deeply rooted in people's hearts ever since.
"Cindy has thick hair, smart, attractive and professional, and her appearance has changed the definition of a sexy American girl with blonde hair and blue eyes."
----Michael Cross
In 1995, Cindy was worth $6.9 million, and even now it ranks in the top 10 of the Forbes list.
Christy Turlington
We all know that little KK Karlie Kloss is a college bully in the fashion industry, and her idol Christy Turlington is also a university bully, Karlie was influenced by Christy and terminated Victoria's Secret to go to New York University to study programming.
Christy started his career at fore modeling agencies at the age of 16.
Her beauty is non-aggressive, calm and gentle, noble and elegant.
In 1986, Don Ye appeared twice in the British version of VOGUE and once in the French version of VOGUE in the same year.
On the catwalk, she is like a noble princess, walking elegantly,
In 1988 she shot a commercial for Calvin Klein, the first heavyweight commercial of her modeling career, and since then, she has worked with Calvin Klein for nearly twenty years.
In 1991, she shot the Maybelline ad, which became the most famous fashion advertisement in the world at that time and made her face deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In 1994, Dunye, who pursued inner cultivation, chose to return to school when his modeling career was booming, and after receiving a bachelor of arts degree from New York University, he continued his studies at Columbia University's Melman School of Public Health.
Because of her father and daughter, she began to focus on public health causes and founded the Every Mother Counts Foundation in 2010 to help women reduce life risks during childbirth.
It can be said that in the fashion circle of fish eyes and beads, our gentle Dunye is like a touch of sunshine, adhering to positive energy, is this not the most beautiful image?
Naomi Campbell
<h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > about the old rice, in fact, I don't need to say more, tearing up the little three, throwing the BlackBerry mobile phone to beat people and going to jail, the jianghu people called "black pearl", she is the shoulder handle of the black supermodel industry. </h3>
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">

<h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Naomi Campbell, born in London, England in 1970, was favored by Synchro modeling agency during school, and appeared on the cover of the July issue of the British edition of ELLE in the same year. </h3>
In the racist fashion circle at that time, she was the first black cover model to appear on the British and French versions of VOGUE since 1966, and the first black model to appear in the September issue of the US version of VOGUE.
Her runway debut was dedicated to Saint Laurent's Spring/Summer 1988 show, and her toned legs and bubbly strides conquered the fashion scene.
Just like her strength, the old rice on the catwalk dominates the way, and can be called the queen,
A pair of big eyes made the domineering her look smart and cute,
As a supermodel, Naomi's aura and sense of physical strength are irreplaceable, and she can always shoot blockbusters with shocking visual impact.
Naomi has achieved unprecedented success in the fashion industry and is also fighting for the interests of the younger generation of black girls with her influence.
Today, 30 years later, the immortal myth Naomi is still active in Saint Laurent's runway, and the spring/summer show of 2020, which is also a black brand, closed.
Tatjana Patitz
Compared to the other four supermodels, the name Tatjana Patitz is unfamiliar to many people now, but in the fashion industry, there is an era that belongs to her: "Tatjana era".
Born in Hamburg, Germany, Tatjana Patitz grew up in Sweden and, though standard blonde, looks mysteriously exotic.
"Patitz's beauty is elusive, like Garbo or Mona Lisa, and you can't define her unparalleled silhouette and cool temperament."
----Harper’s Bazaar
In 1983, at the age of 17, she won the third place in the Elite Model Contest, and then she signed a contract with Elite to become a model under her umbrella, officially starting her modeling career.
She was one of the witches Anna Wintour's favorite models, with excellent hard photo performance ability, in 1985 she won the first heavyweight cover of her career---- the English edition of vogue October,
In the same year, in the December issue of VOGUE, a set of blockbusters called Colored Contact Lenses, shot by photographer Irving Penn, was considered one of the greatest images produced by that era and was included in the book On The Edge: Images from 100 Years of Vogue, published in 1992.
Since then, Patitz has garnered more than 130 magazine covers in her career. Among them, the British "VOGUE" 11 times; the American "VOGUE" 7 times; France, Italy, Germany, Spain "VOGUE" 8 times, is a well-deserved cover queen,
She is tough and has unlimited style, and is favored by major brands.
That period was the culmination of her career, known in fashion circles as the "Tatjana era".
In January 1990, the five supermodels starred together in the song "Freedom!" by British songwriter George Michael. '90", paying tribute to this period of various styles and confusion, also shows the purest and most charming charm of the fashion circle to future generations.
Today, 30 years later, the years have passed, and that brilliant golden age is gone, but thanks to them, Naomi Campell, Linda Evangelista, Tatjana Patitz, Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford, they have left so many beautiful works that we who love this industry can pursue something, yearn for it, and look forward to the day when such a beauty can be reproduced.
