Today more than ever, wearing vintage clothes, recycling and retro themes are all the rage. Old is in, new is out. Not only is this shown in the clothes and styles we are wearing but also in the models who are being chosen to wear and promote them. In the past few years there has been an influx of stick thin, European, doll looking models upon the catwalks of the world. But now this look seems to be getting old and instead designers are choosing to bring back the celebrities of the fashion world, the real supermodels.
For Autumn/ Winter 08/09 Various top designers have chose the famous faces of the original supermodels of the 80s and 90s to front their fashion campaigns. Throughout the September issue of vogue, fashion adverts include: Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer, all showing that age is just a number and timeless beauty. Christy Turlington at 39 has been chosen to front Escada and Chanel eye wear, while Claudia Schiffer at 38 and wearing a brown wig can be seen decked out in Chanel and is also modelling for Salvatore Ferragamo. At the age of 43 Linda Evangelista has ousted a model half her age to take over fronting the Prada campaign. Not to be outdone Naomi Campbell has been picked for the covers of both Italian and Brazilian Vogue for September and she is also modelling for Yves Saint Laurent this season.
Discussing the supermodels, Stefano Pilati, creative director for Yves Saint Laurent said "They were 12 of the most amazing girls. Today there are beautiful girls more or less but they don't have that attitude." And with Kate Moss still modelling for various fashion designers it shows the popularity not just for a beautiful face, but also for a look and a personality which fashion has been lacking of recent.
