The four women, now in their 50s, will also appear in a documentary, The Super Models, on Apple TV in September
It is the legendary image that established the famous models: Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Tatjana Patitz, Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford, photographed together by Peter Lindberg, for the cover of the January 1990 edition of ‘Vogue’.

Now, 33 years later, the famous models are photographed again for the magazine’s September issue, which will be released in the US and UK. “The greatest of all time”. Only Tatjana Patitz, who passed away in January, is missing.
The four women, now in their 50s, will also appear in a documentary, The Super Models, on Apple TV in September. A feature in the magazine gives a taste of what that time was like for them, especially after the video for George Michael’s ‘Freedom’! The video featured all five models, apparently, when Michael saw them on the cover of Vogue.
“It was crazy. We’re not the Beatles,” Evangelista says of the backlash after that hit and Versace’s fashion show, in which they lip-synched to the song as they joined hands and walked the runway.
Campbell says how her life changed and recalls when photographers snapped her outside a Narcotics Anonymous meeting in 2001. “They made me feel ashamed of my recovery,” she says. “It wasn’t that I was hiding, but that’s something you talk about when you’re ready.”
Last year, Evangelista opened up about how a cryolipolysis treatment left her “permanently disfigured” and the effects it had on her health. Campbell, meanwhile, has also announced the arrival of her two children, due in 2021 and 2023, and continues to model on the runway for designers such as Valentino and Off White. Crawford is the mother of a well-known model of today’s generation, Kaia Gerber.
All four women – as well as Patitz, Helena Christensen and Claudia Schiffer – are considered the most famous models and are known outside the fashion industry. Demand for them skyrocketed in the 90s, and Evangelista famously said, “We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day.”
The models experienced fashion in a pre-#MeToo era, working with photographers — including Bruce Weber, Patrick Demarchelier and Terry Richardson — who have since been accused of sexually inappropriate behavior toward models.
Speaking to Vogue, all four said they largely avoided sexual exploitation. Campbell spoke about the racism she experienced in the fashion industry. “Why did I do the same work as my colleagues and should I get less money?” he wonders. “Why was I banned for the demos but not for the commercials? I wasn’t narrow minded. I come from a strong generation of black women. If something felt wrong, I said so.”
In 2017, Versace sent the internet into a frenzy when Campbell, Crawford, Christensen, Schiffer and Carla Bruni appeared on the runway show.
