Celebrating real supermodels

Claudia Schiffer, Gianna Versace, Christy Turlington & Yasmeen Ghauri
As a kid my mom had a book on Versace. It was a retrospective; pages and pages of beautiful models in beautiful Versace clothing and I adopted it as my own. I would spend hours in our study, combing through this incredible database of what I called 'barbie dolls' in the likes of Yasmeen Ghauri, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington.

Of course looking back they look nothing like barbie dolls, but seeing how someone so beautiful could be transformed (just like a Barbie), through clothing, little hair and make up and a fantastic photo shoot, opened my eyes. The aesthetics of it all really excited me and these models brought the clothing to life. 

I woke up this morning thinking about the photos in my old book and decided I needed to dig them up, so here is a small selection, celebrating the incredible supermodels of the 90s on the Versace runway. They just don't make them like this anymore.
