Everything You Need to Know About Supermodels | Vogue

Any successful model might be described as “super” but not every successful model is a “Supermodel.” That designation is most accurately used to describe a group of one-name-wonders who captivated pop culture in the late ’80s through the ‘90s. Hamish Bowles explains how Supermodels changed the world and paved the way for Instagirls.

Great to see vogue being real by underlining how nepotism is basically the key to become a very famous model nowadays. The could’ve added tho Gisele, the last real supermodel

[samreed]

Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista weren’t called the holy Trinity for no reason. But Karen Mulder, Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford, Carla Bruni and Yasmeen Ghauri were all HUGE. These are thee iconic supermodels

[hannahdigitals]

super models were the professional it-girls

[vanillabirthdaycake]

this video is everything- the editing, the context, the narration. on point 🫶🏼

[daemondost]

More content like this please! This was entertaining and informative!

Ngl supermodels are more iconic than "influencers"and tiktok stars could ever be

These women were truly larger than life, they really did define the first half of the 90's. I was a child in the 90's, but even I can remember the impact these women had. Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer in particular, they were EVERYWHERE. What strikes me most about models then versus now, is how much FUN those women were having. They were all individuals, and all had their own walks and vibe... Somewhere down the line it all changed.

Interesting decision to not even mention Gisele but include Lila Moss, someone who under no circumstance would have ever booked a single job or even gotten signed to an agency if not for her mother.

[Poohtox]

When Vogue does not name Claudia in this Video but Donatella does on her show you see who knows the real Icons. Claudia and Naomi where everywhere.

can't wait for this influencer era to be over and we can go back to supermodels and rockstars

[timolake]

There are no REAL supermodels these days.The supermodels we’re in the 80’s and 90’s PERIOD!!!!

Gisele Bündchen 🇧🇷 was the highest paid in the world for almost 2 whole decades, I entered the record book, introduced Brazilian women to fashion, created Horse Walk, extinguished Her0in Chic etc... It was considered the only Übermodel in the world (biggest of all), I believe she was the last SUPERMODEL, when she left Brazil and made history.

[mannyfrimps]

It was a short documentary guys.... And he discussed the two extremes of the supermodel eras and that's more than ok. Between the past and present era was Tyra, Gisele, Heidi, Adriana, Alessandra, Liya, Karolina and the rest!

[chanelfitzgerald]

They were all gorgeous and still are, but Linda Evangelista was and still is so beautiful.

[amelieflorelle]

“Creating continuity” is an interesting way to put nepotism lol

[eloysa]

Who had the idea of this video deserves a raise immediately

[dhanashriadrekar]

Yasmeen Ghauri, Tatjana Patitz & Gisele Bundchen should also be included in this video..., 💜💯 In fact, Tatjana was also in George Micheal's Freedom 90 video 💞

[linzmariepatterson]

I love these short, informative, well produced videos ❣️

[Joeny_Depps]

Loving the content coming out of vogue recently. Would love to see more vids like this.

kristen McMenamy is so often left out when the top girls are mentioned, but she made a huge impact and at one point the Chanel house favorite.
