Christy Turlington: The Story Of The Best Paid Model In The World

It only takes 15 to 20 days’ work a year for Christy Turlington to maintain her title as the world’s best-loved supermodel – one she’s held for nearly 30 years. With fashion’s ongoing appetite for older faces, the ravishing 55-year-old is still the industry’s paragon of beauty. But modelling is just a side project for Christy, also known as Christy Turlington Burns. She devotes her other 345 days to realising the United Nations’ commitment to improving maternal health through her charity, Every Mother Counts. Based in New York since her days in the notorious Ford Models townhouse, Christy loves Twitter and has been known to post 15 tweets in a day. Christy estimates she still reserves 15 to 20 days a year for modelling. “If the dates work and it’s not embarrassing, I do it!” She especially enjoys working with the photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, with whom she’s had a long relationship – and who shot the pictures on these pages. “I love collaborating with them. They get me; they never put me in a situation where I feel exploited or uncomfortable.” With the demands of her kids and her cause, does Christy still have a place in her heart for clothes? “Actually, I wasn’t that into fashion, ever. But I understand that it can be a big form of expression for people.” Told that Claudia Schiffer reportedly has an aircraft hangar full of clothes, Christy says she has just a few things from the old days in storage and is today a very modest shopper. “I appreciate the beautiful things I got to wear, but it’s hard to justify the expense. The economy is crashing, and clothes are getting more expensive. Some fashion is art – but I’m not buying huge pieces of art either.” When she needs something for a rare red carpet event, where people expect Christy to look like Christy, she says she runs down to the Stella McCartney store. And she admits she gets a kick out of her daughter’s reaction. “Now, if I put on lipstick, she goes, ‘Ooh!’ So I guess I still appreciate the power of fashion through her eyes.” The part of the job she says she liked best, and still enjoys, was working with a favourite photographer – Richard Avedon, Steven Meisel, Bruce Weber. “It was freaky but normal. I liked the 9-to-5 of it all, the structured nature of being in the studio with a team. The shoots felt more intimate – ‘a pleasant day in the office,’ we used to call it.” Lucky enough to work with the best photographers of the period, she remains enormously proud of her work on Calvin Klein’s iconic Eternity campaigns, in which she starred from 1988 to 2007. “When I look back, I think it stands the test of time – the images are so clean and dreamy.” And it's hard to argue with that… #christyturlington #fashionhistory #90sfashion —— Subscribe and click the bell icon to be notified!
