British Vogue

January 1990: Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Tatjana Patitz, Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford, photographed by Peter Lindbergh The black-and-white group shot on a New York street is often treated as the start of the supermodel era. The editor Liz Tilberis wanted a cover that looked ahead to the new decade, and putting five models together, rather than one star, made the group itself the story. George Michael then cast them in his Freedom video, and the image was recreated for Vogue in 2023.
