Wow! Genetic lottery! Christie and Linda look better now then they did back in the day. Is that even possible? :ponder:

I love them all - apart from kate moss. Linda & Naomi are my favourites though/

Claudia Schiffer was my favorite supermodel. I always loved Kate Moss too, man she was pretty when she started out!

In those days Chisty was my fav. Those girls were sups during the heydays of modelings when models were on covers of fashion mags. They only had to compete with other models for the jobs. For almost a decade models have had to compete with big time celebs for fashion mag covers and ad campaigns. You're lucky if you see one cover a year with a model on it. It has not been a great decade for models, which I give great credit to the ones who've made it.

I loved the models of the 90s. Niki Taylor was another one of my favorite models.

all this slideshow needed was a couple of stills from George Michael's diva filled vids of the 90s and it would be perfect!

Yes, Helena Christensen was a fav of mine too. Oh, the 90's *sigh*

I also liked Helena Christensen, Iman (she wasn't exactly from the 90's, but she still was a supermodel), Laetitia Casta, Karen Mulder... there were many!

My favorite model is Kate. So versatile.However, I think she would have aged better if smoked and drank less. Those habits took away from her natural good looks and freshness. JMHO.

Oh, Faylinn I like her too. Love these ladies and would love to have a big photo spread of all the 'super models' I remember a spread a few(?) years ago somewhere with all the big names on the cover which was quite fun. :ponder:

These were great, but wasn't Tatjana Patitz one of the big supermodels of the 90s, too? I only bring her up, since she's my favorite model of that time.

Cindy is by far my favorite out of this group!! Also love Kate.

Vogue should put these lovely supermodels on the cover rather than all the boring celebs they have been featuring.

Macneil, I completely agree.

All of them have found ways of making themselves more 'beautiful' - ie conventionally beautiful, they're much neater, and for instance Claudia Schiffer's eyes are much bigger looking, Cindy Crawford's make up is bang up to date and gorgeously understated. But they look so much cuter in the before pictures. NOT because they are younger - they're fantastic, incredible looking women now - but because a little imperfection and unconsciousness is necessary for sexiness. They're too good at what they do now. The possible exception, Naomi Campbell, whose face is imperceptibly older but many times more womanly, and she may be the most extraordinarily genetically fortunate individual who ever lived. What an amazing face and body she has.

The thing is the "then" big six are still big people who didn't "grow up" with them still know who they are and know they paved the way. By the way these ladies still get MAJOR work!
