Retrospective Catwalk Style

Supermodels of the 1990's

Most of us probably could not name a single top model of today. The era of the supermodel is long past. This video is a look back at the women who were at the top of their game in the 1990's. People knew their names and their faces were instantly recognisable. These were truly the most celebrated models of the era.

One missing supermodel from this montage of classic catwalk struts and backstage footage from 1997 is Claudia Schiffer. However, the beautiful, tall and willowy forms of Nadja Auermann, Karen Mulder, Elle McPhearson, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Helena Christensen, Carla Bruni and Eva Herzigova don't disappoint.
