The Super Models Trailer: What It Meant To Be A Supermodel In 90s?

The 90s were truly the start of the entertainment world as we know it today. With television and computers reaching homes almost everywhere in the world, people could now log on to the internet and access information relating to their favourite movie stars, tv shows, etc. This new interest in celebrity also coincided with a renewed interest in the fashion industry, with the rise of supermodels. 

Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, and Naomi Campbell were the influencers of their day- fans flocked to see them in person, the fashion shows they featured in would be sold out, and they held sway over a fashion industry that, at the time, was exploitative of their female models. Apple TV+'s new four part documentary series, "The Supermodels," promises us a glimpse into their lives like we've never seen before.
