Turlington :
Christy
Turlington has the longest modeling career of any supermodel.
At a time when new faces are starting to pop up in the
modeling industry, Christy one of the original supermodels
is still going strong. She's in ad campaigns, television
commercials, and this August she's on the cover of two
fashion magazines.
The supermodel era of the 80's and 90's when supermodels
dominated fashion magazine covers has passed. Many people
back then never thought a career in modeling would never
go past the age of 27. Well like the saying go "mabey
she's born with it " must of been written for Christy.
Now at 40 years old she has had a modeling career for
over 20 years and looks even better now than when she
first started modeling.
She has truly been the face of Maybelline
cosmetics , no other model has ever had
such a brand recognizable face as the relationship with
Christy and Maybelline.
Christy
Turlington, at a young age had a passion for horses and
horseback riding. It was during her early teen years while
horseback riding that a photographer took notice of Christy's
beauty and took a few photos of her.
 Thinking
nothing of it, Christy thought she'll give modeling a
try and the photos were sent to a local modeling agency.
She soon began working for the local agency and not long
after people in the fashion industry where demanding Christy
for their photo shoots.
As
news of Christy's popularity continued to grow, it wasn't
long before word reached the big time fashion industry
in New York. Then Christy was soon offered a job from
Eileen Ford (modeling's top scout). Eileen Ford then had
Christy off to Europe and back to New York working for
the top fashion magazines and photographers in the world.
Even
after appearances for Vogue magazine in the states, Christy
still returned to high school to complete her education
before continuing her career as a model. Then in 1987
Christy landed the cover for Italian Vogue and that's
when the World started to take notice.
By
1989, Christy was then a part of the elite group of models
know as "supermodel." Christy is one of the original supermodels
from the era of names such as Cindy Crawford, Stephanie
Seymour, Niki Taylor, Niomi , and Linda Evangelista. This
was a time when supermodels worked the runways, bling
blinged in magazines, and shined on television screens.
Hey, remember the old school George Michael music video
freedom ? Those were the days of the real supermodels,
and Christy was a huge part of the supermodel explosion.
In
the mid 90's Christy was featured in two documentaries
Unzipped and Ready to Wear. However her biggest accomplishment
on the big screen was when she stared in the 1996 film
documentary Catwalk. In Catwalk the cameras followed Christy
modeling in fashion shows in New York, Paris, and Milan
for a year. It showed a in-depth behind the scene look
as supermodels walk the run way for the biggest designers
such as Carl Langerfeld, Isaac Mizrahi, and Gaultier just
to name a few. Catwalk received rave reviews in the modeling
and fashion industry and till this day Christy is well
known for the documentary.
After
leaving the runway in 1994, she went on to complete her
undergraduate education at New York University with a
major in philosophy and comparative religion. She then
went on to graduated Cum Laude in the spring of 1999 from
New York University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts
degree.
Christy
has been a maybelline
cosmetics model
for years, but has her own company of natural skin care
products called SUNDÃRI.
Through
Christy's company Truly, Inc. and the Christy Turlington
Foundation, she supports various causes close to her heart,
women's issues, children's organizations and environmental
causes just to name a few.
Christy
is now 40 years old and has continued to have the longest
modeling career of any supermodel, She has spent the past
years raising a family with husband Ed Burns.
In this some times crazy modeling world of high fashion,
Christy has always been well grounded and had the nicest,
sweet kind heart and her happiness is an example of how
you can stay healthy and beautiful modeling still in your
forty's.
