The Big Show: How the Lives of Nineties Supermodels Were Shaped

In the last decade of the previous century their names were on everyone's lips. But nothing lasts forever under the moon. How were the fates of the conquerors of the fashion world after the end of their active career?

Linda Evangelista (56 years old).

The Canadian native first stepped onto the runway in 1980 as a very young 15-year-old schoolgirl. Although her professional qualities were far from ideal, her unusual looks, gait and style were noticed in the fashion world.

Linda career so quickly went uphill, and the fees were so fabulous that the model later admitted - if someone wants to call her and get out of bed before mid-day, let him pay first ten thousand dollars. In those days it was a lot more than it is now.

Evangelista was also notable for the fact that, unlike most models, she continued to perform for several decades and went out on the runway even at fifty.

Surely she would have continued to go out, if she had not got carried away with cosmetic procedures, trying to rejuvenate. She began to have complications, and in 2016 Linda disappeared from the media for five whole years. Later she appeared in the light, but she became unrecognizable and no catwalk was ever discussed.

Claudia Schiffer (51 years old).

In the past, German model Claudia Schiffer made it into the Guinness Book of World Records, adorning the covers of more than a thousand magazines. In addition, the beauty has been recognized many times as the most in-demand and highest paid model in the world.

And overall, her career and even personal life have always progressed easily, without much scandal or upheaval. Claudia even managed to met her aging with optimism, recognizing that the morning sun never lasts a day. This does not prevent her not only to be a happy wife and mother of many children, but still accept offers to shoot.

Naomi Campbell (51 years old).

The "black panther" who began to conquer the fashion world appeared on the runway for the first time as young as 16 and became the first dark-skinned model to appear on the covers of major glossy magazines. Her stellar decade was from the late eighties to the late nineties. However, Naomi did not leave the profession later, albeit working less actively, but still as successful.

Less successful was her personal life. Romances with such famous men as Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, P. Diddy and Usher, Flavio Briatore and Vladislav Doronin, have never led to marriage.

But in 2021, the 50-year-old model realized her lifelong dream - to become a mother.

Cindy Crawford (56 years old).

Young Cindy was once a successful college student with good prospects. But the girl put it all on the line - for the sake of a modeling career she dropped out of school. And clearly she didn't lose. She had success in the fashion industry from the very beginning, and in the nineties she was already in the top ranks of models in the world.

By the way, Crawford was the first supermodel to shoot nude for Playboy magazine, and repeatedly ranked among the most beautiful celebrities in the world. Her personal life, as well as her professional life, has also always been intense. Her partners included many celebrities, including Richard Gere. But the model tied her fate to restaurateur Randy Gerber, to whom she gave birth to two children.

And now the happy mother and wife, in spite of her fifty and "tail", still sometimes goes on the catwalk and participate in photo shoots.
