Will give beginners a chance! How ’90s models watched the runways in 2022

We have a new “sticky” habit: on social networks we find short videos comparing the gaits of models and their modern colleagues – and that’s it, at least an hour the connection with reality is interrupted. We can’t help it – the stars of the old guard parade down the runway in such spectacular fashion that any action movie can compare. We’ve been watching the same Naomi Campbell’s Endless Legs for many years now, and it’s never been boring. It was not for nothing that the models of her generation were called “super” – even the Hadid sisters, popular today, with all their professionalism, have not yet reached such heights.

So it’s no surprise that designers are trying to get these superstars into their runways, even if it takes a lot of money, time and connections. Their appearance alone provides huge press buzz and mega show status, so it’s worth the effort. Yes, booking a famous model through an agency is a little easier than booking a superstar, but when they hit the runway…

Linda Evangelist

…it’s an explosion and fireworks. We sincerely have no idea how long it took Silvia Venturini-Fendi and Kim Jones, Fendi’s creative directors, to convince Linda Evangelista to resume her career. The legendary model hid from the cameras for five years due to cryolipolysis, a side effect of a cosmetic procedure. But for the fashion house’s anniversary show, she made an exception, showing her face for the first time in many years (and carefully hiding her figure). Anyway, Linda is amazing!

How does Black Panther do? At 52, she looks no worse than at the start of her career, although rumor has it that she is trying hard for it. Vegetable smoothies, a diet without sugar and coffee, no meat in the diet, workouts and herbal teas – everything to eclipse the young models of the sixth decade. Ask us who we remember after the Burberry show – first we’ll call Naomi, then Bella Hadid.

At the Tod’s show, Campbell walked alongside Carla Bruni, who isn’t going to stop modeling just yet. It is unlikely, of course, that the wife of the ex-French president will do this to earn money, most likely, she no longer imagines her everyday life without a podium. And let Bruni stay there as long as possible: this sweet cat walk is bewitching.

Historically, Amber hasn’t been called “super” and is often referred to by industry pundits as a supermodel. Perhaps the American star did not enter the magnificent six podium goddesses, but she can easily be compared with them in terms of influence and success. Therefore, Amber’s appearance at the big Vogue World show is a natural occurrence, and not just a tribute to the “old guard of modeling.”

Kate, 48, hasn’t said goodbye to her modeling past either, and is still an active participant in the show. And more and more often, he crosses paths with his daughter Lila, who is following in her mother’s heels and working for an already stellar name. Although, what’s to hide, Kate is still far from being a young model: that predatory confidence in her eyes and a light but quick gait with genetics are not transmitted and have been trained for years.

Crawford herself is shocked to still be working, although she can sit peacefully somewhere in Malibu by the pool and read her favorite book. “I know I don’t look like I did when I was 25, but now I bring an experience and a confidence to the camera that I didn’t have back then,” says Cindy. The model does not intend to leave the catwalk just yet, especially since she still has something to show her daughter, Kaia Gerber. For such master classes, other rising stars would give a lot!

Helena not only continues to appear on the catwalk, but also does not refuse brands in photo shoots and advertising campaigns. And she, by the way, is 53 – would you have guessed if we hadn’t prompted her? Moreover, Christensen denies diets, assures that he cannot starve himself. So I had to look for healthy analogues of my favorite dishes to keep fit, but at the same time not to cancel a snack if an appetite suddenly appeared. We don’t know about you, but we’re willing to believe any formula a woman with such amazing legs will come up with…
