We have a new “sticky” habit: we find short videos on social networks comparing the movements of supermodels and their modern counterparts – and that’s it, the connection with reality is broken for at least an hour. We can’t help it – the stars of the old guard walk the runway in such spectacular fashion that any action movie can compare. We have been watching the endless legs of the same Naomi Campbell for many years and it has never been boring. Not for nothing were the models of her generation called “super” – even the Hadid sisters, popular today with all their professionalism, have not yet reached such heights.
So it’s no surprise why designers are trying to get these superstars into their shows, even if it takes a lot of money, time and connections. Their appearance alone provides huge press buzz and mega show status, making the game worth the candle. Yes, booking a famous model through an agency is a bit easier than booking a superstar, but when she hits the runway…
Linda Evangelista
…it’s an explosion and fireworks. We honestly have no idea how long it took Silvia Venturini-Fendi and Kim Jones, Fendi’s creative directors, to convince Linda Evangelista to return to her career. The legendary model hid from the cameras for five years because of cryolipolysis, a side effect of a cosmetic procedure. But she made an exception for the fashion house’s annual show, showing her face (and shrewdly hiding her figure) for the first time in years. Anyway, Linda is amazing!
How does Black Panther do it? At the age of 52, he looks no worse than at the beginning of his career, although, according to rumors, he is putting a lot of effort into it. Vegetable smoothies, a diet without sugar and coffee, no meat in the menu, exercise and herbal teas – all this will overshadow young models in their sixth decade. Ask us who we remember after the Burberry show – first we call Naomi, then Belle Hadid.
Campbell paraded at the Tod’s show alongside Carly Bruni, who is also not going to take a break from modeling just yet. Of course, it is unlikely that the wife of the French ex-president would do it for the sake of making money, most likely, she no longer imagines her daily life without the stage. And let Bruni stay on it as long as possible: this soft cat walk is fascinating.
Historically, Amber has not been called “super” and is often referred to as a top model by industry experts. The star American may not have joined the magnificent six goddesses of the stage, but in terms of influence and success she easily compares with them. Amber’s appearance at the big Vogue World show is therefore a natural phenomenon and not just a tribute to the “old guard of modeling”.
48-year-old Kate also did not say goodbye to the modeling past and still actively participates in the show. And more and more often it intersects with her daughter Lila, who is following in her mother’s footsteps and working for an already stellar name. Although what can be hidden, Kate is still far from a young model: this predatory confidence in her eyes and a light but quick walk with genetics is not transmitted and is trained for years.
Crawford herself is shocked that she is still working, although she could be sitting by a pool in Malibu reading her favorite book. “I know I don’t look like I did when I was 25, but now I bring experience and confidence to the camera that I didn’t have back then,” Cindy explains. The model is not going to leave the stage yet, especially since she still has something to show her daughter Kaia Gerber. Other rising stars would give a lot for such masterclasses!
Helena not only continues to appear on the catwalk, but also does not refuse brands for photo shoots and advertising campaigns. And by the way, she’s 53 years old – would you have guessed if we weren’t prompted? In addition, Christensen denies diets, assures that he cannot deny himself food. So I had to look for healthy analogues of my favorite foods to keep myself in shape, but at the same time not cancel the snack if the appetite suddenly appeared. We don’t know about you, but we’re ready to believe any formula a woman with such incredible legs puts forward…
