"One day it'll be over" "Does that bother you?" "No, I got what I wanted " - Linda was a badass queen. But I love Christy's observational response too.
I don't think Linda still has the same attitude now, especially after the catastrophe with cool sculpting (or whatever it is called). I feel so sorry for her.
@@barb6868 She was extremely arrogant at the time. I'm sure that made it all the more devastating later. She is someone who felt she was nothing without her beauty.
Best times in fashion industry, those girls were beautiful, elegant, warm, today's girl are shallow and cold and let's admit it much much uglier than supermodels!
@@middaysun3553 Wtf? Ugly? I have seen many beautiful models today like Adut Aketch,Imaan Hammam,Anok Yai,Sora Choi,etc. They have rare beauty as well. Your comment came off biased and rude. I can't with adults shitting on younger people.
Yasmeen is so striking, she has these huge expressive eyes. She never focused on her looks. Never defined herself by her beauty. She saw modeling as this opportunity she was given but then she would retire and go back to college to be normal like us.
@@headphonic8 Still a great achievement in a competitive industry they were able to enter only because they were young and beautiful. It indicates that they have had a skillset that made them successful in the first place that goes way beyond looking good.
maybe in the circles of gay men... otherwise we have no clue who 95% of them are! Naomi, Tyra and Heidi... the rest are irrelevant for over a decade already
Indian women have the best eyes, skin and hair. And they are smart and dignified. Yasmeen has all those qualities. Even her hourglass shape and walk was like an Indian dancers.. incredible waist hip ratio and flexible waist
She is half pakistani. Her father is muslim and an imam. She says indian because there is less stigma about showing skin among indians, whereas its taboo in muslim communities.
The happy irony is the supers were so powerful, many still have modelling career today, probably all them could have if they wanted to. Maybe not work as much, but they could still get work.
@sahej6939 It's not so much the nostalgia factor alone, but moreso what Eileen Ford said at the end following Christy Turlington's comment-- _"Boomers don't want to look at teenagers."_ The _"boomers"_ were in their late 30s to very early 40s back then. So now the women who were the same ages as the supers clearly seem to have followed suit, as they're in their late 40s to late 50s. That, and due to their ages a significant amount more can actually afford some of the products their favourite models are advertising. Back in the 90s it was a lot harder to stay relevant past a certain point because one needed "the machine" to do so. But now once a celebrity has hit the saturation stage of their _product life cycle_ at the top of the mainstream, there is much more opportunity to still make a lucrative living appealing to their specific niches.
The women who said Baby Boomers don't want to look at teenagers was spot on but it resonates for other generations as well. I respond better to advertising and fashion on women who are older or closer in age to me. A 15 year old can't really sell me anything cause I'm distracted by them looking like a kid. I also don't think people peak physically as a teen. Most ppl look better into their 20s and even 30s *gasp*. I feel like the fixation on model age was a male invention since males dominated the design and business side of the industry for a long time.
This 👏 We need to remake the beauty standards for women. It isn’t reasonable in a world were we live to be 80-90 years old and work well into our 70’s and are in good health well into our 70’s to be told that we are passed our prime at 30.
i think every person, man and woman, looks better when teenagers to mid 20s maximum. I don't think attractive people look ugly after 25, they still look gorgeous but some imperfections come, it's normal. Modelling require a perfect slim body, without a wrinkle, and this can be done when we are very young, our prime years
@@cudderkid1336 Honestly I don't think that, for celebs at least, race still makes a big difference with today's surgery, botox, skincares etc. :) Linda and Claudia are very pale and aged wonderfully cause they used good help. If anything It's Naomi who surely needed less help who over-did it with her fillers. :/
Naomi Campbell is still conquering catwalks all over the world and she is in her 50's.She rewrote the rules of modeling.Naomi is the QUEEN OF THE CATWALK!!!
Well she is just famous. She is only on the catwalk because of the huge name. Similar to heidi klum etc. They would stand no chance against the younger models otherwise. 😂 It is similar to casting actors as a model, they are there because of their name, not because they fit the beauty standard
@@beansandrunningModeling shouldn't be ageist. Model your age and clothes that represent that. When your older you look back and miss those days... Why should you? Keep modeling, we're Gods creations. 💙
And here we are 31 years later, Naomi still modelling and booking runway shows and is now part of Victoria Secret's icons campaign ad and Calvin Klein.
It would be interesting if a movie was made about the 90s supermodels - like showing the glamorous of their lives but also all the ugly and cut-throat aspects of the fashion industry. We probably won’t get an _honest_ portrayal of any of that though until a lot of fashion big wigs kick the bucket.
Love how articulate they all are, very thoughtful individuals. I would've never guessed models could be this well-spoken. Shows just how great the chasm is between then and now.
I think we had thought this impression of models because media has portrayed this so heavily. We buy into what movies/news outlets/magazines/podcasts/YT/etc sells us every single day, without wondering if it's an accurate representation of real life.
RIP Katoucha, Karl, George Michael.... LOVED seeing the models do their own makeup backstage, I used to be obsessed with them when I was younger and try to to look like them... Thanks for posting!
Yasmeen Ghuauri one of the most stunning models that ever existed and the most underrated one. she never gets mentioned in the same sentence as Linda or Naomi or Cindy and the crew, but she absolutely should!
It’s just bc of who this generation chooses to idolize, there are plenty of models better than Naomi and same with any singer or dancer, it’s just who the public likes and how much the celeb wants to hold onto their career or move on
@@Naomi-xu4hq And who is better than Naomi in this generation? Instagram Models? Also it's not because one doesn't retire to keep relevance. There are countless reasons not to retire but people often assume that it is to keep relevance. It's not about who people want to idolize because NAOMI is a supermodel. Supermodels are known for something. Naomi has a very good walk and she expresses the clothes and accessories given to her. If we're talking about walk,maybe Yasmeen scored over her but overall? Naomi is better.
"Washed up", "aging" whoever made this interview was very jealous of these models. And the joke is on them because it's 2023 and these girls are still slaying 🔥💯🏆
The thing is, this generation also redefined what it meant to age- across the board. They’re actually pioneers. But, the truth is, a modeling career is short lived for most.
@aofmual I mean, I'd put her in this group of active models. This group probably learned a lot from the older models you've mentioned. They came from a time where a 40 year old looked every bit of 40. And now, a great deal of models from this time are still active and regarded as beautiful. But, I see what you mean.
I recorded every episode of FT back in the days and I still have this segment on VHS somewhere. I can't believe it's been almost 30 years ago since this aired. Yasmeen is the only girl that just disappeared without a trace. I miss her.
FT was the best. It's funny because I just read something Gail Elliot said about Yasmeen, and how Gail misses her but has no idea where Yasmeen is these days. She totally disappeared from the fashion world. How AMAZING would a surprise guest appearance from Yasmeen at a show in Paris be?
gosh, i remember thinking they were like 30 something back then, i was like 10. I still think they look so mature. Think of Yasmin there, she's younger than Ariana grande there. It's crazy.
Same I was little & I thought they were older woman. They had more of sophisticated womanly look and the shape of their bodies were more like goddesses. Yasmeen Ghauri especially since she has that unique statuesque figure. They didn’t look older in a negative way but just more mature. Also the style of fashion, hair & make-up added to that. Similar to Julia Robert at 23 she looked way more mature.
even disney princesses from that time if you thinik about sleeping beauty etc... they all looked beautiful but mature. Definitely not like teens or close to that @@bettyberova4131
For the average no-name runway model, sure, you are usually done by 25. However, the iconic models of the 90s can still be modelling, because they trade off their name/brand, rather than just their pretty but anonymous face.
I wasn't even a famous model because I chose to be married and have a child at a young age but I was still being selected out of my modeling agency when I was age 26 to model in Paris for the Haute Couture shows, I went to Paris with my 2 year old and my mother and landed 3 Haute Couture shows, the biggest name one was for Jean Louis Scherrer, I then was discovered by a top Tokyo modeling agent and went over there under contract and did really well because they promoted me that I had modeled in some of the Haute Couture shows. My point is even though I'm not famous, I'm still trading on my modeling experience and use it to market myself as a photographer. I'm really glad I did modeling, I've been told when I was younger that I looked like Paulina Porikova and Karen Mulder, which makes sense because I was signed with Elite in New York before I got married. Anyway since I'm divorced now, my modeling career really helped me to this very day even if I'm not famous. I got to meet many of the more well known models and walk the runway with them the few times I did model in Europe and Tokyo.
Ah, blessed 90s.. the fashion, the music, the looks. I'm so glad I got to experience that time, if only as a child growing up. It will forever resonate with me as it had shaped me.
@jaimereynolds258 my teen years were from 2000 onward, but I always wished they were in the 90s. Was never a big of fan of early 2000s and even less so of 2010s. Awful time in music. Simply awful. 😖 except for underground club scenes.
@@checkermaker480oh god I’m 32 and you’re making us millennials sound like boomers. I love the 90s and the decades after it. There will always be change and choosing to be the crotchy old person yelling about the new days is such a bad way to be
@@davidaparicio3867 ....there a pic of her in 2008 then a pic of her with her hubby...latest 2018 maybe....still look good for her age..original as she come...
It's less about age, more about the age shaming in the world. Everyone is born. The fortunate people will age, it's those who are judgmental, ignorant & view age in a negative context that are the biggest problem.
@@allyson3123 Because the use of the word "old" is most often used in a negative context, I came up with other ways to describe that sound more positive. 1. Moving through time 2. Flow like a river 3. Moving closer to heaven 4. 6 feet above & filled with love 5. Queenager 6. Glam Ma'am
People were more touch in reality when they didn't have the internet and all the escaping mechanism we have today. Relationships between people were better back then as well. We should not give up but it is true that things are getting worse and worse every year...
Models may retires before 25. Top models may have careers till 30. Supermodels may have it till 40 and above like Naomi and Tyra although Tyra ventures into other business medium.
Black, to Tyra…..she killed any respect for her for her ridiculous, gaslighting show americas next top model. She was so cruel and did nothing to truly help, mentor or do anything for all those kids.
I wish they had had a Christie Brinkley interview they could’ve added to this, she’s a still REALLY pretty and she’s in her late 60’s almost 70 and she LOOKS INCREDIBLE. Plus she seems nice, if you like her post and comment sometimes she’ll write people back on Instagram.
Damn what an era! It took be back to my childhood, the nostalgia!! Those women were so impressive to me, they still are. They can't make them like that anymore... The reporter told Yasmeen "And you don't have a wrinkle on your face!" Bih the woman was TWENTY ONE! Anyways back then my faves were Cindy, Naomi and Claudia but Yasmeen was crazy gorgeous omg...
I grew up in the 90s and knew all the supermodels such as Cindy, Naomi, and Claudia, but not Yasmeen! She just didn't promote herself in the same way, or she was just too specialized as a runway model, but damn she is gorgeous and can walk! Its always nice to discover someone from the past who happens to be the real GOAT.
I think this genderation of models is the best because you take the factor of social media out. meaning there isn't a big opportunity to compare each other or being able to have a huge audience that can reach and sway opinion. Models weren't famous based on their family or status you worked and were chosen off of experience
@@hastyscorpion that’s a stupid argument, if you are from America you should know all these little ass girls have their lips done and surgery up the ass. And as young as 17,18
A lot of them were so real. They knew it wouldn't last forever. Fast-forward today and you have these girls on Instagram who get offended when somebody gives them a compliment. In their minds, they're the main character. They will never age. They will never get wrinkles. They're so over-inflated with their follower count, they could almost swear themselves immortal. Time smirks at them.
Stop watching RU-vid shorts and come interact with actual early 20s people of 2023..I can assure you we are just as intelligent and you have as much to learn from us as we do from you
And today what they spoke here came true and hits really hard. We all knew no youth lasts as much we all knew all the living would die, but how well were we prepared for the actual realistic future? Using what you have in "best ways possible" this way before losing is actually making you more attached to it, therefore seeing it fade away from you is more painful, ended up in even more nostalgic pain. _I am not what I used to be._ Submitting your beauty to the whole world's approval slams you to the wall the day the world you gave the best looks of yourself to, behaved to you differently. It's because you're no longer that 20s. You are now 40, 50s. You still felt that 20s inside you. But the world judges by what's on your skin. Nobody could a love a woman truthfully more than herself, as she's the one who carries her soul inside the changes of her physique. And if there is someone else who could admire her lifetime in that beauty and sexual manner, it's none other than the man of her soulmate who chose her for life, not merely for the temporary youth physique. You reap what you sow. Aging is nature, and won't hurt that much if you didn't invest the youth age wrongfully for temporary desires.
I am personally prepared for the future. Or at least, I'm prepared to "fight" for everything that comes. Even if I don't make it, I'll be fine with that, I'm not afraid anymore. I also don't need a "special one" to be on my side. Everyone who wants to be, however, is welcomed!
I knew a model once, classmate of mine, she never took it as career option. She said, I just got lucky in the beauty department, but that will only be for so long. That I got lucky in the intelligence department is way more beneficial. She seldom scored below 100 points. And she was a down to earth person. Very sociable and popular. She later became Chief editor of a Men's magazine. I always had a crush on her, but her beauty was simply intimidating. 😓
It's jarring to see actual young, attractive women in beauty product commercials. Not one land whale or "alt model" in sight. Sure do miss the old days.
There are rumours that she was murdered. Unfortunately, police don't always put as much time investigating the suspicious deaths of ethnic minorities...
Aging is sooo horrible! Why can't government do something about aging? The whole process is brutal, and everyone starts to discriminate against you. Unfair!
