Top 90s supermodels who changed the fashion game forever

From Naomi Campbell to Shalow Harlow, these '90s supermodels changed the face of fashion forever.

From personal style to iconic runway moments, we look back at the top 90s supermodels who shaped the fashion of a decade and are still shaping fashion today.

Naomi Campbell

There's no doubt that when it comes to the catwalk, Naomi Campbell has dominated and continues to do so to this day. As one of the few black models to have such a huge presence in the 90s, she not only influenced fashion but also championed racial diversity on the runway alongside icons like Iman and Bethann Hardison.

Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawford’s natural beauty and glamour set her apart from other prominent supermodels of the 90s as she quickly became a familiar face on the runways of many high-end fashion houses throughout the decade. Although no longer a mainstay on the catwalk, her daughter Kaia Garber has followed in her mother’s footsteps as she forges her own path in the modeling world .

Linda Evangelista

Known as one of fashion’s biggest chameleons, Linda Evangelista’s life changed when she moved to New York from Canada in 1984. No matter what hairstyle, color, or cut she was rocking, she was a hit and became a household name, appearing in numerous campaigns and appearing on countless magazine covers. She was also considered a muse to the late Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel as well as Gianna Versace.

Kate Moss

Kate Moss, who began her modeling career at the age of 16, was initially considered too short to make it big in the industry. However, she defied all odds after landing a 1992 Calvin Klein campaign with Marky Mark, which put her on the map and has since gone on to become one of fashion's greatest icons.

Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks made history as the first black model to appear in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She began her career in the editorial, high-fashion world, then secured gigs with brands like Victoria's Secret. As a top modeling mogul, Banks is best known in the larger cultural zeitgeist for her hit reality competition show America's Next Top Model, which ended in 2018.

Claudia Schiffer

Discovered in Germany, Claudia Schiffer became a fashion model with long blonde hair and full lips. She was the muse of Karl Lagerfeld, who made her the face of Chanel and would secure a contract to appear on every magazine cover imaginable.

Shalom Harlow

Canadian model Shalom Harlow made fashion history in the 1999 Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer show when she twirled down the catwalk as robots spray-painted her strapless dress. But even before that historic moment, Harlow was being praised for her fluid movements and form (which may have been partly due to her background as a former ballerina).

Christy Turlington

Considered one of the golden models of the 90s, Christy Turlington is widely known for her ethereal beauty and effortlessly chic style. In recent years, she has focused her attention on humanitarian causes such as the non-profit Every Mom Counts.
