This thread is to tribute the girls & the beginings of Supermodel height. The 5 models who the term is most used for Cindy,Linda,Christy,Naomi & Claudia started in this decade. They elevated the form and set up the Super rule in the 90's.:heart:
And of course girls like Rene Simonson,Paulina, Yasmin, Gail Elliot, Stephanie, Elle Macpherson, Veronica, Karen Alexander, Estelle & Tatjana helped to build the phenom. :flower:

The vets like Christie Brinkley, Iman, Kim, Beverly,Carol were ending the height of their respective careers by the mid-80s.B)

The girls who started in this decade have the longest careers,among the highest paid and remembered. It was a time of beauty,class,dreams and confidence.

Starting off. Photo Credits:Peter Lindbergh(1988-89) & Roxanne Lowitt(1989)
