80s & 90s Supermodels

These days, it feels like if the term Supermodel has lost its relevance. In the 80s and 90s, supermodels were super beings.

They were the goddesses of fashion; featured on every magazine cover with Amazonian-like athletic bodies.

It was the peak time for supermodels, and they used the limelight to build their brands.

With their beauty, the former supermodels commanded the spotlight, cameras, and left their mark on the fashion world.
