12 Successful 80s and 90s Supermodels: Then and Now (2 of 7)

Kate Moss

First discovered at the age of 14 at New York’s JFK Airport following a vacation in the Bahamas, Kate Moss really hit it big when she became the face of Calvin Klein’s early 90s Obsession campaign. However, it wasn’t without controversy, as Moss became known as the queen of “heroin chic” due to her appearance and substance abuse issues. She seems to have made a full recovery and even launched her own modeling agency in 2016. 

Christy Turlington Burns

With four decades of modeling under her belt, few supermodels have had the durability that Christy Turlington has. Her career shot into the stratosphere in 1989 when she became the face of Calvin Klein’s Eternity campaign, and since 1992 she has represented Maybelline. She isn’t just incredibly good-looking either; she just so happens to hold a Master’s degree in Public Health from Columbia University, one of the most prestigious Ivies.
