I know I'm late, but I finally made my way through the entire thread. Awesome photos! Thanks everyone that contributed. I must concede that earlier eras of modeling had better models and covers IMO.

Favs: Linda, Christy, Naomi Lana is a doll; Helena is beautiful and Yasmeen is regal. I also liked Brandi and Beverly.


I'm sorry, but I don't see what the big deal was about Claudia. She was trash.


Anyway, carry on!

Sepia, back again. Yes way better models & work. Naomi,Christy & Linda reign Supreme once again! As far as Claudia maybe it's the photos posted, I don't think she is trash-but she was photographed that way some times. I think it looks that way b/c she was big,blond and kinda busty. I will show another side soon. What I think is really trashy if you will are the SI and some VS girls, Sepia how can you ignore the group photos just posted right above your comment post 1412-13! I think they are way more provocative than photos of Claudia posted.

It's not that Claudia is so provacative, I just think she's bland and uninteresting. Uninteresting features and pics IMO. She can't hold a candle to the other supers!

Oh, I see but Claudia is Barbie and Barbie is Barbie! She isn't the greatest but I do dig her.

Naomi could really handle the big prints on dresses, couldn't she?

i hope i can explain it, heres how i see it......i like all the early 90s supermodels i can see exactly why they were used including claudia and i can see what makes claudia special,

all the supermodels had strengths and weakness but what was/is important is to have a unique identity a look all yours that no other model comes close too

thats what the designers saw when they met these women in person and explains why they stayed loyal to certain girls through the 90s (the key was to looked nothing like each other be unique) they represented all kinds of beauty and claudia can't be dismissed, its true that her best work was with the guess campaign and her strengths are the bardot look and she is commercial (she is white, blonde, blue eyed, big breasted and has small baby like features)

but she had weaknesses too one of the most famous being her teeth i was so shocked to watch the film 'love actually' and notice when she smiled how huge her front two teeth are but its ok, supermodels are allowed to have faults, in fact if a 90s model that has faults can make it to supermodel status then it shows that its not just about looks

its a combination of presence (seeing these girls in person will blow you away), how they are on the runway, how they act backstage, their attitude, personality and of course beauty so you can the get the devotion of the designers, photographers and editors, its something so extrodinary to have all these qualities coming together with a certain human being

as a general rule the girls gianni versace embraced and hired again and again were the supermodels of the early 90s and claudia is a worthy part of this group
