Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington are set to appear in Apple TV+’s The Super Models.
The documentary highlights the models’ careers, taking viewers on and beyond the runway. Fans will learn firsthand how the women captured the world while creating an everlasting bond.
After emerging on the scene in the ’80s, the catwalk queens quickly took over the fashion world, owning runways, fracking magazine covers and campaigns.
By the ’90s, the women were declared “supermodels” by the media and given the nickname “The Big Six.” (The other two models in “The Big Six” are Claudia Schiffer and Kate Moss.)
Crawford raved over the project via Instagram, writing, “I’m excited to reunite with my friends to both celebrate and examine the way supermodels transcended the traditional perceptions and limits of modeling in the fashion industry … We plan to explore the dynamic personalities, and shifts in media and culture that helped shape and define this iconic era.”
