Christy Turlington was described as “the most beautiful woman in the world” by American Vogue Magazine’s Grace Coddington. This was due to her unique symmetrical face and pillow-lipped smile. In 1991, she earned a whopping $800,000 for a 12-day campaign with Maybelline, making her one of the highest-paid models of the time. She graced the cover of popular magazines hundreds of times and represented fashion powerhouse Calvin Klein Eternity’s campaign both in 1989 and 2014. She currently operates a nonprofit organization known as Every Mother Counts, which places focus on women’s healthy pregnancy and safe birth.

Kate started her modeling career at the tender age of 14 and is considered by many as anti-model as she was the opposite of the average model people were used to. She was short and sported a thin feature but was still able to make her way up the ladder to becoming a supermodel and a fashion influencer. She collaborated with Calvin Klein on a role described as the “heroin chic” and did well in size zero fashion trends. She has graced the fashion wear with designs from powerhouses like Yves Saint-Lauren, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Balenciaga, Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Dior, Versace, and Calvin Klein.
