The supermodels of the 1990s – Naomi Campbell Kate Moss Claudia Schiffer and Christy Turlington to name a few – were truly iconic, giving us some of the most memorable catwalk moments and incredible fashion shoots of all time.

A new coffee table book dedicated to the women who wouldn’t “wake up for less than $10,000 a day” (according to Linda Evangelista) rewinds back to their glamorous heyday with 130 photos starring the original ‘supers’.

Edited by Schiffer, Captivate! Fashion Photography From The 90s features images from legendary photographers including Richard Avedon, Corrine Day, Arthur Elgort and Ellen von Unwerth, plus unseen snaps from Schiffer’s private archive.
