1
00:00:13,265 --> 00:00:15,558
[man] I think it's a bit...
We've got so many nods to Pepsi
2
00:00:15,559 --> 00:00:16,850
that for you to have a Pepsi can
3
00:00:16,851 --> 00:00:18,310
- is a bit of no-no.
- I don't need it, no.
4
00:00:18,311 --> 00:00:20,729
- But it's kind of, "what the fuck?"
- And we know the environment.
5
00:00:20,730 --> 00:00:22,273
- Yes, yeah.
- Yes. Okay.
6
00:00:22,274 --> 00:00:24,358
And... we'll just play around with that,
7
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:26,318
and then we'll do one different shot here.
8
00:00:26,319 --> 00:00:28,445
But I just want to get something
in the can straight away.
9
00:00:28,446 --> 00:00:30,030
- Okay. Okay.
- And I think it will work.
10
00:00:30,031 --> 00:00:33,117
You haven't changed at all over 30 years,
but you know that.
11
00:00:33,118 --> 00:00:35,911
I redo this commercial every ten years
just to make sure.
12
00:00:35,912 --> 00:00:38,873
I'm very flattered
that I'm the 2021 edition.
13
00:00:40,292 --> 00:00:43,128
Just come a little bit more this way.
Come forward.
14
00:00:45,755 --> 00:00:46,631
[camera clicking]
15
00:00:46,632 --> 00:00:48,758
A little bit more this...
That's it. That's it.
16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,890
[Cindy] I never in a million years thought
I would still be in front of the camera...
17
00:00:56,141 --> 00:00:59,226
[chuckles] ...35 five years
after I started modeling.
18
00:00:59,227 --> 00:01:01,645
I mean, uh, no. Yeah, even more.
19
00:01:01,646 --> 00:01:04,397
I started modeling when I was 17.
20
00:01:04,398 --> 00:01:06,359
So, that's a long time. [chuckles]
21
00:01:07,027 --> 00:01:08,152
[camera clicking]
22
00:01:08,153 --> 00:01:11,405
I don't think there was a...
like, a long-term plan
23
00:01:11,406 --> 00:01:14,910
for most young women who started modeling.
24
00:01:17,954 --> 00:01:22,459
Because we thought about maybe
you'd have a five-year career.
25
00:01:23,251 --> 00:01:25,044
[Younger Cindy] It would be silly
for me to say
26
00:01:25,045 --> 00:01:27,254
that physical beauty's not important
for our job because it is.
27
00:01:27,255 --> 00:01:31,300
But I think everyone knows it's...
It sounds such a cliché to say
28
00:01:31,301 --> 00:01:34,762
that, you know, beauty's on the inside,
but... but it's really true.
29
00:01:34,763 --> 00:01:36,305
- [camera clicking]
- Great, that's good.
30
00:01:36,306 --> 00:01:39,142
But there's a kind
of physical beauty that's about...
31
00:01:40,268 --> 00:01:43,855
physically how you look, but I mean,
that doesn't last very long.
32
00:01:45,815 --> 00:01:47,191
Aging.
33
00:01:47,192 --> 00:01:52,322
Your body changes and everything changes.
34
00:01:53,865 --> 00:01:55,908
[breathing, murmuring to herself]
35
00:01:55,909 --> 00:01:57,117
[people murmuring]
36
00:01:57,118 --> 00:01:59,328
I just got into a furnace. No, I...
37
00:01:59,329 --> 00:02:00,496
[man] Are you okay?
38
00:02:00,497 --> 00:02:03,374
No, I think I'm going through menopause,
it's pre-early menopause.
39
00:02:03,375 --> 00:02:04,875
- Pre-menopause.
- [man] You want a little bit of wind?
40
00:02:04,876 --> 00:02:07,294
- There's nothing you can do.
- [woman] We'll give you some wind.
41
00:02:07,295 --> 00:02:10,005
It just happens. Shit, Lord.
42
00:02:10,006 --> 00:02:12,466
- [man laughs]
- One minute, I'm fine.
43
00:02:12,467 --> 00:02:14,677
Next minute, just this furnace comes up.
44
00:02:14,678 --> 00:02:17,681
- I got some wind for you.
- Why do men not get menopause?
45
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:22,393
[Naomi] There have been times when
I've said, "Okay, I'm gonna slow down,
46
00:02:22,394 --> 00:02:24,853
I'm gonna pull out,
I'm gonna go do other things."
47
00:02:24,854 --> 00:02:29,276
But... my energy is still the same.
48
00:02:32,862 --> 00:02:37,659
You hope that the way you are
will sort of transcend your image.
49
00:02:40,579 --> 00:02:42,329
I don't like just being, like,
"I'm a model."
50
00:02:42,330 --> 00:02:45,124
[laughs] "I'm a model,
and that's all I am."
51
00:02:45,125 --> 00:02:47,459
[younger Christy] So I've been
doing a lot less... everything.
52
00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:49,295
I just have a lot of interests in my life.
53
00:02:49,296 --> 00:02:52,757
It's not that I'm stopping.
I'm just being a lot more selective.
54
00:02:54,801 --> 00:03:00,890
I just hope that when this is all over,
that I take it well.
55
00:03:00,891 --> 00:03:03,809
I put my whole heart into it.
56
00:03:03,810 --> 00:03:05,395
Um...
57
00:03:07,063 --> 00:03:09,399
I know it's gonna come to an end one day.
58
00:03:11,359 --> 00:03:12,861
- [indistinct]
- [laughs]
59
00:03:14,154 --> 00:03:18,407
[Linda] So many barriers have been
taken down since I started modeling.
60
00:03:18,408 --> 00:03:22,621
And age was one of them. And...
61
00:03:24,414 --> 00:03:25,999
you see Cindy...
62
00:03:28,126 --> 00:03:29,753
and Christy...
63
00:03:31,338 --> 00:03:32,588
and Naomi.
64
00:03:32,589 --> 00:03:35,966
They're flourishing
and they're beautiful, and...
65
00:03:35,967 --> 00:03:37,302
[breath shaking]
66
00:03:38,053 --> 00:03:40,388
they can work forever.
67
00:03:51,691 --> 00:03:53,568
[Linda] I didn't sleep last night.
68
00:03:56,738 --> 00:04:01,368
It's okay, as long as...
as long as I'm gonna live it's okay.
69
00:04:02,744 --> 00:04:06,289
I've just been dealt so many... blows...
70
00:04:07,874 --> 00:04:12,253
that I feel like this is just another
one and I'll get over it, 'cause,
71
00:04:12,254 --> 00:04:15,131
what am I gonna do, I have to get over it.
72
00:04:16,882 --> 00:04:22,429
Being in the vain world
that I was working in and living in,
73
00:04:22,430 --> 00:04:26,268
there were all these tools
we were presented with.
74
00:04:26,768 --> 00:04:31,648
And, um, I used some of those tools.
75
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:33,900
[voice trembling] Because...
76
00:04:35,527 --> 00:04:38,445
I wanted to like
what I saw in the mirror,
77
00:04:38,446 --> 00:04:42,409
and the commercial said
I would like myself better.
78
00:04:44,869 --> 00:04:48,373
But what happened to my body
after CoolSculpting...
79
00:04:49,916 --> 00:04:51,626
became my nightmare.
80
00:04:54,045 --> 00:04:55,838
I can't like myself
81
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:01,802
with these hard masses and protrusions
sticking out of my body.
82
00:05:01,803 --> 00:05:03,471
I... I just can't.
83
00:05:04,014 --> 00:05:10,728
Had someone told me you're going
to grow hard fat, that we can't remove,
84
00:05:10,729 --> 00:05:13,022
maybe,
85
00:05:13,023 --> 00:05:14,858
I would never have taken the risk.
86
00:05:17,819 --> 00:05:20,572
I wish we could just really
see ourselves...
87
00:05:22,365 --> 00:05:23,824
in the mirror.
88
00:05:23,825 --> 00:05:25,785
Non-distorted.
89
00:05:28,455 --> 00:05:32,166
Without ever having seen ourselves
90
00:05:32,167 --> 00:05:36,254
with a filter or retouched.
91
00:05:39,132 --> 00:05:40,841
[voice trembling]
That is what has thrown me
92
00:05:40,842 --> 00:05:43,470
into this deep depression that I'm in.
93
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,098
It's like a trap. You're trapped.
94
00:05:48,099 --> 00:05:51,019
With yourself, that you hate.
95
00:05:52,812 --> 00:05:55,982
It's been years since I worked.
96
00:05:56,775 --> 00:05:58,693
And years of hiding.
97
00:06:01,863 --> 00:06:04,615
I never went out the door
unless it was maybe
98
00:06:04,616 --> 00:06:07,452
a doctor's appointment
that I had to go to.
99
00:06:16,586 --> 00:06:18,338
[distant siren wailing]
100
00:06:20,131 --> 00:06:22,926
[Linda] Let's go get that poison
shot in me.
101
00:06:24,678 --> 00:06:27,118
- [doctor] Tell us your name and birthday.
- [machine beeping]
102
00:06:27,556 --> 00:06:30,099
Five, ten, '65.
103
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:31,768
Linda Evangelista.
104
00:06:32,561 --> 00:06:34,937
That's a beautiful name.
So... might as well go with it.
105
00:06:34,938 --> 00:06:36,272
Linda?
106
00:06:36,273 --> 00:06:39,108
- Evangelista, there's something...
- Evangelista is beautiful.
107
00:06:39,109 --> 00:06:42,404
But Linda? I never liked that name.
108
00:06:43,738 --> 00:06:47,157
[doctor] So one hour on this,
one hour on the Cytoxan
109
00:06:47,158 --> 00:06:50,661
and then one hour at night
and 30 minutes on the... [indistinct]
110
00:06:50,662 --> 00:06:52,372
So, it's three and a half.
111
00:06:53,081 --> 00:06:54,801
[Linda]
And I keep saying I'm not suffering.
112
00:06:55,417 --> 00:06:56,251
[doctor] Yeah.
113
00:06:56,252 --> 00:06:58,461
Just a little inconvenienced here.
114
00:07:00,505 --> 00:07:07,052
I was approached to do this, and I will
do anything that I can for breast cancer.
115
00:07:07,053 --> 00:07:09,930
And for me, this is not work,
this is pleasure.
116
00:07:09,931 --> 00:07:14,977
And to do something for this cause
that I'm very, very, um...
117
00:07:14,978 --> 00:07:19,274
[Linda voiceover] It's always been
a charity dear to my heart.
118
00:07:20,692 --> 00:07:27,157
And ironic that I ended up
with breast cancer myself.
119
00:07:29,242 --> 00:07:32,120
A little over three years ago,
I was diagnosed.
120
00:07:32,954 --> 00:07:37,416
The decision was very easy to make
121
00:07:37,417 --> 00:07:39,836
to have a double mastectomy.
122
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:43,465
But it came back.
123
00:07:45,425 --> 00:07:47,259
[Dr. Shapiro] So right now,
124
00:07:47,260 --> 00:07:51,680
the treatment seems
to be going as planned, um...
125
00:07:51,681 --> 00:07:54,642
It's really good that you brought it
to everyone's attention
126
00:07:54,643 --> 00:07:59,104
because it was a finding that I think
would have been easily overlooked.
127
00:07:59,105 --> 00:08:02,024
And you're very attuned to your body.
128
00:08:02,025 --> 00:08:04,777
I mean, that's what you did
to make your living.
129
00:08:04,778 --> 00:08:07,905
And, you know,
and so it all comes together
130
00:08:07,906 --> 00:08:10,241
that someone with your life experience
131
00:08:10,242 --> 00:08:13,410
would be attuned to something going on.
132
00:08:13,411 --> 00:08:17,289
I was pushing on it, because
I thought maybe it was, um,
133
00:08:17,290 --> 00:08:21,126
because I'm told it was rib number four
that I had sawn off
134
00:08:21,127 --> 00:08:22,711
from one of my lung surgeries.
135
00:08:22,712 --> 00:08:25,965
So I thought it was the... the nub that...
136
00:08:25,966 --> 00:08:27,341
[Shapiro] I can see how
you would think that.
137
00:08:27,342 --> 00:08:28,425
And in fact, that is...
138
00:08:28,426 --> 00:08:33,305
[Linda] I have a genetic mutation
called Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome,
139
00:08:33,306 --> 00:08:36,809
where I had developed little weak spots
and air would escape
140
00:08:36,810 --> 00:08:39,354
and it would cause my lung to collapse.
141
00:08:41,147 --> 00:08:43,274
I don't know how many
surgeries I've had.
142
00:08:43,275 --> 00:08:45,068
I've had so many.
143
00:08:45,860 --> 00:08:47,987
Scars for me are trophies.
144
00:08:47,988 --> 00:08:53,660
Like, I overcame something and I won.
145
00:08:54,536 --> 00:08:58,080
I battled something. And I survived.
146
00:08:58,081 --> 00:09:01,751
So, I could celebrate a scar.
147
00:09:02,460 --> 00:09:07,299
But to be disfigured, is not a trophy.
148
00:09:10,844 --> 00:09:13,637
I can't see how anybody
would want to dress me.
149
00:09:13,638 --> 00:09:16,057
I just can't. I can't.
150
00:09:19,227 --> 00:09:21,938
Now... to lose my job...
151
00:09:23,231 --> 00:09:25,567
that I love so much and... [inhales]
152
00:09:26,902 --> 00:09:29,613
[crying] ...lose my livelihood.
153
00:09:31,823 --> 00:09:33,950
My heart is broken.
154
00:09:35,952 --> 00:09:37,913
I loved my job.
155
00:09:46,963 --> 00:09:49,633
[people murmuring, indistinct]
156
00:09:56,473 --> 00:09:58,515
- [man] This, um...
- [woman] But this was more for Christy.
157
00:09:58,516 --> 00:10:01,936
[man] And that...
Yeah. She wants to wear some, like...
158
00:10:01,937 --> 00:10:03,857
- What's this one? Celine?
- [man] That's Celine.
159
00:10:04,272 --> 00:10:08,068
Oh, my God. This is the total
of Naomi's rings. Five million.
160
00:10:09,027 --> 00:10:11,153
I would show her. [chuckles]
161
00:10:11,154 --> 00:10:12,821
[blow dryer whirring]
162
00:10:12,822 --> 00:10:15,199
[Christy] I haven't really done that much
over the years, 'cause I feel like...
163
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,661
I used to feel guilty to do, like,
trips for myself.
164
00:10:18,662 --> 00:10:21,163
- [Cindy] Yeah.
- When I traveled a lot.
165
00:10:21,164 --> 00:10:22,957
- Right.
- So now that my kids are like...
166
00:10:22,958 --> 00:10:24,541
- barely notice that I'm gone.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
167
00:10:24,542 --> 00:10:26,794
Actually, one of my other girlfriends,
she would call home
168
00:10:26,795 --> 00:10:28,462
and her daughters are like,
"Where are you?"
169
00:10:28,463 --> 00:10:31,924
- And she's like, "I'm out of the country."
- And she's like, "You are?"
170
00:10:31,925 --> 00:10:33,926
- 'Cause at a certain point, they don't...
- "Didn't you make my breakfast?"
171
00:10:33,927 --> 00:10:36,221
Yeah, at a certain point
they just don't even know.
172
00:10:36,888 --> 00:10:39,933
Back in the UK.
So, I'm trying to think.
173
00:10:40,725 --> 00:10:42,601
Thursday, Friday, I'm in the UK.
174
00:10:42,602 --> 00:10:45,230
Saturday, I'm in the UK,
and Sunday I'm in the UK.
175
00:10:47,649 --> 00:10:50,067
Is that okay? Would that work?
176
00:10:50,068 --> 00:10:52,236
We all have so much history,
and I think that's...
177
00:10:52,237 --> 00:10:54,446
that's the fun thing
of getting everyone together.
178
00:10:54,447 --> 00:10:56,323
It's like a high school reunion.
179
00:10:56,324 --> 00:10:59,368
I work Thursday, Friday, and...
180
00:10:59,369 --> 00:11:02,371
Like, just, all of our lives have gotten
so busy and complicated now too.
181
00:11:02,372 --> 00:11:04,707
To get everyone
in the same city at the same...
182
00:11:04,708 --> 00:11:06,125
[make-up artist] Which is amazing.
183
00:11:06,126 --> 00:11:10,922
It's the first time we're all together
in our 50s, our collective 50s.
184
00:11:12,465 --> 00:11:13,716
Um...
185
00:11:13,717 --> 00:11:15,760
We're all mothers now.
186
00:11:16,928 --> 00:11:18,388
Changed.
187
00:11:20,974 --> 00:11:22,893
[Christy] In 1996...
188
00:11:23,476 --> 00:11:27,479
I remember being in Paris
for the couture and...
189
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,816
I... I gained a little bit of weight
because I'd quit smoking,
190
00:11:30,817 --> 00:11:35,404
and... I got released from a show.
191
00:11:35,405 --> 00:11:37,072
And I remember feeling like,
192
00:11:37,073 --> 00:11:39,825
"Well, I'm not gonna let this, like,
make me feel bad."
193
00:11:39,826 --> 00:11:41,201
I just made a decision for myself,
194
00:11:41,202 --> 00:11:43,454
which is probably
one of the best decisions I've made.
195
00:11:43,455 --> 00:11:46,040
"And so, you know, maybe now is the time.
196
00:11:46,041 --> 00:11:48,542
Like, you know, I don't really want to...
197
00:11:48,543 --> 00:11:50,502
I don't really want to subject myself
to that anymore."
198
00:11:50,503 --> 00:11:52,588
I'm happy to read that
you've gone back to school.
199
00:11:52,589 --> 00:11:53,589
- Yes.
- Good for you.
200
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:55,174
- Thank you.
- Where did you leave off
201
00:11:55,175 --> 00:11:56,342
and where did you go back?
202
00:11:56,343 --> 00:11:58,719
Well, I was never able to go
beyond high school
203
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,471
because I started working
at a really young age.
204
00:12:00,472 --> 00:12:02,474
- Because you were a supermodel.
- Exactly.
205
00:12:04,226 --> 00:12:06,644
[Christy] I loved my time at NYU.
206
00:12:06,645 --> 00:12:08,103
I just loved the routine of it.
207
00:12:08,104 --> 00:12:10,898
I loved, like, walking through the park
to get to school.
208
00:12:10,899 --> 00:12:13,609
I loved having the excuse of like,
209
00:12:13,610 --> 00:12:16,946
"No, I'm studying this weekend."
[laughs] "I'm not going anywhere."
210
00:12:16,947 --> 00:12:19,281
Um, really my concentration area
211
00:12:19,282 --> 00:12:21,909
was comparative religion
and Eastern philosophy.
212
00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:25,371
But because it was liberal arts,
I studied American literature,
213
00:12:25,372 --> 00:12:28,415
psychology, I studied architecture.
214
00:12:28,416 --> 00:12:32,711
Those were like, I think, some of the most
important years of my life,
215
00:12:32,712 --> 00:12:35,756
um, because that's where
I was really able to, like,
216
00:12:35,757 --> 00:12:39,426
make the investment in myself, and, like,
who my future self was gonna be.
217
00:12:39,427 --> 00:12:44,808
And I just found so much inspiration
to do so many other things.
218
00:12:45,642 --> 00:12:46,601
[faint cheering, applause]
219
00:12:46,602 --> 00:12:50,564
So, yeah, it was
such a incredible four years.
220
00:12:52,107 --> 00:12:54,627
With the exception of my dad
not being well in the middle of it.
221
00:12:57,612 --> 00:13:00,699
My dad was diagnosed
with lung cancer at 63.
222
00:13:01,866 --> 00:13:04,869
His diagnosis was like, you know,
six months, stage four.
223
00:13:06,037 --> 00:13:08,915
And we pretty much lost him
six months to the day.
224
00:13:10,208 --> 00:13:13,836
After I lost my dad,
I started to think, you know,
225
00:13:13,837 --> 00:13:16,464
could I be...
could I be helpful in some way?
226
00:13:17,340 --> 00:13:21,343
In my life, there are two people
in my family who have quit smoking:
227
00:13:21,344 --> 00:13:23,095
me and my dad.
228
00:13:23,096 --> 00:13:25,723
[Christy] I sort of saw the power
of telling my story
229
00:13:25,724 --> 00:13:28,976
and telling my dad's story
and helping other people
230
00:13:28,977 --> 00:13:32,354
to hopefully have a different kind
of story for themselves.
231
00:13:32,355 --> 00:13:36,650
Um, and then I did a lot
of advocating in DC
232
00:13:36,651 --> 00:13:39,153
and, you know, just do what I could.
233
00:13:39,154 --> 00:13:42,364
I just wanted to briefly add that
I'll do everything in my power,
234
00:13:42,365 --> 00:13:44,950
um, as a representative
of the fashion community
235
00:13:44,951 --> 00:13:47,494
to, um, take responsibility in my actions
236
00:13:47,495 --> 00:13:50,498
and to set the best possible example
for those I may influence.
237
00:13:51,333 --> 00:13:53,334
There are a lot of people
in my industry that smoke
238
00:13:53,335 --> 00:13:57,755
and that are photographed smoking
and looking very glamorous in doing so...
239
00:13:57,756 --> 00:14:01,967
My effort is to demystify
those glamorous images
240
00:14:01,968 --> 00:14:04,303
that have been so prevalent
for so many years.
241
00:14:04,304 --> 00:14:05,639
Thank you.
242
00:14:06,264 --> 00:14:12,102
In that time, we had the first
"Women and Tobacco" report created.
243
00:14:12,103 --> 00:14:13,604
I was like, "What?" [laughs]
244
00:14:13,605 --> 00:14:16,106
"There's not already a report
about women's health and tobacco?"
245
00:14:16,107 --> 00:14:20,819
Um, and that kind of pissed me off
and also, I think, opened the door
246
00:14:20,820 --> 00:14:23,739
for the kind of work that I do now
with maternal health
247
00:14:23,740 --> 00:14:26,867
and, you know, do more.
248
00:14:26,868 --> 00:14:29,788
Do more than I ever imagined I would do.
249
00:14:31,164 --> 00:14:33,708
I got married in 2003.
250
00:14:34,668 --> 00:14:37,963
When we were pregnant,
uh, we were super excited.
251
00:14:39,881 --> 00:14:42,299
I had had such a full life
before becoming pregnant
252
00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:44,969
that I really felt, like, so ready
253
00:14:44,970 --> 00:14:47,556
for this next adventure
and phase of my life.
254
00:14:48,515 --> 00:14:50,475
But after I delivered...
255
00:14:53,228 --> 00:14:54,228
I hemorrhaged.
256
00:14:56,773 --> 00:15:00,360
It became, um, a complication
that had to be managed.
257
00:15:02,153 --> 00:15:05,240
Which was painful,
and I lost a lot of blood.
258
00:15:06,283 --> 00:15:08,784
But my child was born, she was healthy.
259
00:15:08,785 --> 00:15:12,705
I felt like I was being cared for
by the right people
260
00:15:12,706 --> 00:15:15,874
and people that I trusted, so, you know,
relatively speaking,
261
00:15:15,875 --> 00:15:19,921
I felt, um, as good as I could
in this situation.
262
00:15:21,131 --> 00:15:23,757
But after that, I... you know,
263
00:15:23,758 --> 00:15:25,593
I wanted to do something about it.
264
00:15:25,594 --> 00:15:27,678
I felt like, you know, why, you know...
265
00:15:27,679 --> 00:15:30,556
I was so informed
and had so many resources.
266
00:15:30,557 --> 00:15:32,975
Why didn't... why did I not know
this was possible?
267
00:15:32,976 --> 00:15:36,270
And why did I not know that,
like, so many women die
268
00:15:36,271 --> 00:15:38,522
from similar complications
around the world.
269
00:15:38,523 --> 00:15:41,275
And I just sort of dove in
and started this organization
270
00:15:41,276 --> 00:15:42,985
called Every Mother Counts.
271
00:15:42,986 --> 00:15:44,320
- Do you want to try?
- [woman] Yes.
272
00:15:44,321 --> 00:15:46,447
- [heartbeat pulsing]
- [Christy laughs]
273
00:15:46,448 --> 00:15:49,075
- It's a healthy girl!
- [laughter]
274
00:15:49,576 --> 00:15:52,786
[Christy] As a woman,
just because of our reproductive systems,
275
00:15:52,787 --> 00:15:55,372
we're more susceptible
to a lot of different things,
276
00:15:55,373 --> 00:15:56,916
but we're not studied as much.
277
00:15:56,917 --> 00:16:00,669
And there's way, way less money invested
in women's health,
278
00:16:00,670 --> 00:16:03,339
um, in terms of research and studies.
279
00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:07,469
And so I just try to use my voice
and become a better advocate for people.
280
00:16:08,345 --> 00:16:11,805
Every time I've come,
it's grown, uh, exponentially.
281
00:16:11,806 --> 00:16:13,892
This building didn't exist two years ago.
282
00:16:14,351 --> 00:16:17,019
This, for anyone's standards,
is incredible.
283
00:16:17,020 --> 00:16:19,981
I would prefer to give birth here
than where I gave birth.
284
00:16:20,941 --> 00:16:24,443
My daughter loves Every Mother Counts
because she's like,
285
00:16:24,444 --> 00:16:26,487
"I'm the reason that you do this.
286
00:16:26,488 --> 00:16:28,782
I'm the reason
that this work even exists."
287
00:16:29,741 --> 00:16:33,869
She knows that she really
changed the course of my life
288
00:16:33,870 --> 00:16:36,539
in more ways than just the obvious.
289
00:16:38,583 --> 00:16:40,460
[blow dryer whirring]
290
00:16:41,795 --> 00:16:44,380
'Cause I have not seen
you all together for a while.
291
00:16:44,381 --> 00:16:47,007
Yeah. Last time
we did a thing with, um...
292
00:16:47,008 --> 00:16:49,218
- But not with Cindy, right? No, no...
- Not with Cindy.
293
00:16:49,219 --> 00:16:51,428
But I see her, actually,
probably the most.
294
00:16:51,429 --> 00:16:52,763
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
295
00:16:52,764 --> 00:16:54,765
Because, well, whenever
she comes to New York
296
00:16:54,766 --> 00:16:56,225
we go out for dinner or whatever.
297
00:16:56,226 --> 00:16:58,144
- More socially...
- Ah, yeah.
298
00:17:01,606 --> 00:17:03,482
It's magic fabric, isn't it?
299
00:17:03,483 --> 00:17:06,485
[woman] It's perfect, look.
And the shining is perfect.
300
00:17:06,486 --> 00:17:08,111
It's go time.
301
00:17:08,112 --> 00:17:10,030
[man] Is this from 1986?
302
00:17:10,031 --> 00:17:11,823
[Naomi] This one's vintage
or this one's Peter's?
303
00:17:11,824 --> 00:17:13,909
- No, this one is vintage.
- [Naomi] Ah, vintage.
304
00:17:13,910 --> 00:17:15,285
How much is that?
305
00:17:15,286 --> 00:17:18,163
[man] Um, twenty-four thousand dollars.
306
00:17:18,164 --> 00:17:20,332
- This dress?
- [man] Yeah. That's why...
307
00:17:20,333 --> 00:17:23,628
That's what they're charging now
for Papa's vintage?
308
00:17:28,091 --> 00:17:29,509
[Naomi] Azzedine was my papa.
309
00:17:32,512 --> 00:17:35,640
With him, I learnt about chosen families.
310
00:17:38,602 --> 00:17:40,103
The same for Gianni Versace.
311
00:17:41,479 --> 00:17:46,358
He was very sensitive to feeling me,
like, he pushed me.
312
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,153
He would push me, push me, push me
313
00:17:49,154 --> 00:17:52,072
to step outside and go further
314
00:17:52,073 --> 00:17:54,993
when I didn't think I had it
within myself to do it.
315
00:17:56,494 --> 00:17:59,331
So, when he died...
316
00:18:00,957 --> 00:18:04,544
my grief became very bad.
317
00:18:05,754 --> 00:18:11,635
Grief has been a very strange thing
in my life because it doesn't always...
318
00:18:12,260 --> 00:18:17,140
I go into a shock and freak out
when it actually happens,
319
00:18:17,766 --> 00:18:20,560
and then later is when I break.
320
00:18:23,104 --> 00:18:26,483
But I kept the sadness inside.
I just dealt with it.
321
00:18:28,235 --> 00:18:30,904
So, I guess when I started using...
322
00:18:32,572 --> 00:18:35,575
that was one of the things
I tried to cover up, was grief.
323
00:18:38,203 --> 00:18:40,038
Addiction is such...
324
00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:42,540
[sighs] It's such a...
325
00:18:44,459 --> 00:18:45,502
[clicks teeth]
326
00:18:46,127 --> 00:18:48,129
It's just a bullshit thing. It really is.
327
00:18:49,464 --> 00:18:52,968
You think,
"Oh, it's gonna heal that wound."
328
00:18:53,718 --> 00:18:55,261
It doesn't.
329
00:18:55,262 --> 00:18:58,223
It can cause such huge fear and anxiety.
330
00:18:58,932 --> 00:19:01,393
So, I got really angry.
331
00:19:02,352 --> 00:19:05,312
There's a lot of issues that I have
from childhood.
332
00:19:05,313 --> 00:19:06,647
Tell me about those.
333
00:19:06,648 --> 00:19:09,733
Well, for instance, not knowing...
Not knowing your father,
334
00:19:09,734 --> 00:19:11,318
not seeing your mother.
335
00:19:11,319 --> 00:19:12,653
That brings up a lot of...
336
00:19:12,654 --> 00:19:15,239
It manif... manifests a lot of feelings.
337
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,532
- One of those feelings...
- [Barbara Walters] Anger?
338
00:19:16,533 --> 00:19:19,618
Absolutely anger.
But I think that's a really normal thing.
339
00:19:19,619 --> 00:19:24,498
And I mean, I've not always
displayed my anger
340
00:19:24,499 --> 00:19:26,792
in the appropriate, uh, time.
341
00:19:26,793 --> 00:19:28,670
It's always been an unappropriate time.
342
00:19:29,296 --> 00:19:33,299
But, um, it's a manifestation
of a deeper issue, I think, anger.
343
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:36,594
And that, for me,
I think is based on insecurity,
344
00:19:36,595 --> 00:19:40,306
self-esteem and loneliness and, um...
345
00:19:40,307 --> 00:19:41,432
Being abandoned?
346
00:19:41,433 --> 00:19:44,101
Being abandoned. That's what I mean.
That's what my core issues are,
347
00:19:44,102 --> 00:19:47,439
abandonment and rejection and, um...
348
00:19:48,356 --> 00:19:50,901
and that puts me
in a real vulnerable space.
349
00:19:51,443 --> 00:19:54,320
And everyone thinks, "Oh, Naomi's
a really tough girl and really strong."
350
00:19:54,321 --> 00:19:58,115
But that's what I want
to appear to people to be like,
351
00:19:58,116 --> 00:20:00,367
because I fear that if I don't,
352
00:20:00,368 --> 00:20:03,621
they're gonna just walk all over me
if they really knew.
353
00:20:03,622 --> 00:20:06,999
When you try to cover something up,
your feelings...
354
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,337
You spoke about abandonment.
I tried to cover that with something.
355
00:20:11,254 --> 00:20:12,505
You can't cover it.
356
00:20:13,673 --> 00:20:15,675
I was killing myself.
357
00:20:17,177 --> 00:20:18,345
It was very hurtful.
358
00:20:19,721 --> 00:20:21,890
For my mistakes,
I've always owned up to them.
359
00:20:23,391 --> 00:20:25,935
I chose to go to rehab.
360
00:20:25,936 --> 00:20:30,065
It was one of the best and only things
I could have done for myself at that time.
361
00:20:31,274 --> 00:20:36,111
It is scary to pick up the mirror
and look into the mirror.
362
00:20:36,112 --> 00:20:37,656
It is scary.
363
00:20:38,198 --> 00:20:41,951
And it's taken me many years
to work on and deal with.
364
00:20:41,952 --> 00:20:45,246
And it does still come up sometimes.
365
00:20:45,247 --> 00:20:50,042
But I just now have the tools how
to deal with it now when it comes up.
366
00:20:50,043 --> 00:20:53,046
And I have to think of something
outside of myself.
367
00:20:54,798 --> 00:20:57,133
Something greater than myself.
368
00:20:59,344 --> 00:21:03,847
If I have people in my life that I love
and I see that they need help,
369
00:21:03,848 --> 00:21:05,266
of course I'm going to offer my help.
370
00:21:05,267 --> 00:21:08,061
I'm there. I'm very loyal
to the people that I love.
371
00:21:09,646 --> 00:21:12,481
[Marc Jacobs] There was a time
where I was partying,
372
00:21:12,482 --> 00:21:14,358
um, maybe five or six years ago,
373
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,403
and Naomi would be ringing my phone
and I would see on the screen, "Naomi."
374
00:21:17,404 --> 00:21:21,366
I was like, "I don't know how she knows
that I'm up to no good, but she does."
375
00:21:23,285 --> 00:21:26,662
[John Galliano]
She brought me joy, huge joy,
376
00:21:26,663 --> 00:21:28,832
when I was in a place that was so dark.
377
00:21:31,084 --> 00:21:35,380
Naomi did arrange for me
to go to rehab in Arizona.
378
00:21:36,464 --> 00:21:38,215
I mean, she's super in every way.
379
00:21:38,216 --> 00:21:40,760
So, it's good that I tell this story
because apart from work,
380
00:21:41,469 --> 00:21:42,929
she's human too.
381
00:21:44,973 --> 00:21:47,892
[Jacobs] Naomi is an extraordinary person,
382
00:21:47,893 --> 00:21:49,561
who's super caring and loving,
383
00:21:50,562 --> 00:21:53,189
especially to the next generation.
384
00:21:54,816 --> 00:21:57,610
Which is... as personal...
385
00:21:57,611 --> 00:22:03,241
and as, like, you know,
disconnected from fashion as you can get.
386
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,829
Naomi is probably one of the hardest
working people in the industry,
387
00:22:08,830 --> 00:22:10,540
'cause she's doing other work as well.
388
00:22:10,957 --> 00:22:13,668
When I started Fashion For Relief,
it was just an idea.
389
00:22:14,294 --> 00:22:17,338
[Fabien Baron] She's working on many,
many humanitarian causes
390
00:22:17,339 --> 00:22:20,507
that are really, very, very beautiful,
391
00:22:20,508 --> 00:22:24,011
and I think it's amazing
that she's that today.
392
00:22:24,012 --> 00:22:28,098
Fashion For Relief only works because
we all collaborate and come together.
393
00:22:28,099 --> 00:22:32,519
Naomi always wanted
to bring people with her, and now,
394
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,941
she has become... a stateswoman.
395
00:22:38,068 --> 00:22:41,487
[Naomi] I just feel like
I stuck to my integrity.
396
00:22:41,488 --> 00:22:45,492
I'm coming from a place of authenticity,
I think, because it's not just now.
397
00:22:46,868 --> 00:22:50,996
That began for me in 1993,
398
00:22:50,997 --> 00:22:54,541
when I went to South Africa
with Nelson Mandela.
399
00:22:54,542 --> 00:22:56,252
[Mandela speaking indistinctly]
400
00:22:56,253 --> 00:22:58,837
Thank you. [laughs]
401
00:22:58,838 --> 00:23:00,381
So, can I call you grandfather?
402
00:23:00,382 --> 00:23:04,260
Absolutely. I told you that I've
adopted you as my granddaughter.
403
00:23:04,261 --> 00:23:06,555
[both laughing]
404
00:23:08,181 --> 00:23:10,558
[Naomi] President Mandela made me
his honorable granddaughter
405
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:13,269
and made me part of
the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund.
406
00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:17,107
[all singing]
407
00:23:18,858 --> 00:23:20,484
[Naomi] I didn't really
have any understanding.
408
00:23:20,485 --> 00:23:22,945
I had no knowledge
of what the word philanthropy meant.
409
00:23:22,946 --> 00:23:24,363
[indistinct chatter]
410
00:23:24,364 --> 00:23:26,782
I got to this hospital, I remember.
411
00:23:26,783 --> 00:23:28,993
The children are all dying,
pretty much, from leukemia
412
00:23:28,994 --> 00:23:30,953
or some sort of blood disorder.
413
00:23:30,954 --> 00:23:33,581
They had made cakes and singing.
414
00:23:33,582 --> 00:23:36,710
[all singing]
415
00:23:37,752 --> 00:23:39,211
And I just burst out crying.
416
00:23:39,212 --> 00:23:42,715
[scattered clapping, chatter]
417
00:23:42,716 --> 00:23:44,843
I had to learn as I went along.
418
00:23:45,635 --> 00:23:47,387
[clapping fades]
419
00:23:48,388 --> 00:23:49,930
Bye!
420
00:23:49,931 --> 00:23:52,225
[Naomi] I started to like
what I was doing.
421
00:23:53,226 --> 00:23:55,604
Especially because
I was doing it for Grandad.
422
00:23:56,563 --> 00:23:58,480
Well, he taught me so much.
423
00:23:58,481 --> 00:24:04,195
He taught me just not to be afraid
to use my voice and help others.
424
00:24:05,030 --> 00:24:10,619
It's a great honor to have
such an outstanding model.
425
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,121
She is one of that generation...
426
00:24:13,872 --> 00:24:17,917
that has chosen the world
as the theater of her operation.
427
00:24:17,918 --> 00:24:20,211
I really love you. Thank you.
428
00:24:20,212 --> 00:24:23,215
[applause, cheering]
429
00:24:26,051 --> 00:24:28,845
[Naomi] Once I understood
what I was able to do,
430
00:24:30,430 --> 00:24:32,473
it was just one focus.
431
00:24:32,474 --> 00:24:36,352
["Best of My Love" by The Emotions
playing on stereo]
432
00:24:36,353 --> 00:24:38,438
[Naomi] What an incredible view.
433
00:24:39,397 --> 00:24:41,566
Look at that. Look at Africa.
434
00:24:42,817 --> 00:24:45,152
Look how beautiful.
435
00:24:45,153 --> 00:24:46,987
This is heaven.
436
00:24:46,988 --> 00:24:49,366
It's like, it's the Indian Ocean.
437
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:52,202
Look how stunning.
438
00:24:55,163 --> 00:24:56,539
Look at me.
439
00:24:57,249 --> 00:25:00,961
[Naomi] People in Africa
and the Middle East and India...
440
00:25:02,295 --> 00:25:05,464
I just feel badly that...
441
00:25:05,465 --> 00:25:08,384
I, too, with my industry,
just ignored them.
442
00:25:08,385 --> 00:25:11,011
And dis...
I guess you call it discrimination.
443
00:25:11,012 --> 00:25:12,681
We just did not let them in.
444
00:25:13,723 --> 00:25:17,727
I was a part of that, too. And I don't...
I feel ashamed for that.
445
00:25:19,563 --> 00:25:21,146
[photographer] Absolutely stunning.
446
00:25:21,147 --> 00:25:24,024
[Naomi] So, when I work now,
447
00:25:24,025 --> 00:25:26,277
I feel like I'm not working for me.
448
00:25:26,278 --> 00:25:29,030
I feel like I am working for the culture.
449
00:25:29,698 --> 00:25:31,700
[shutter firing rapidly]
450
00:25:32,117 --> 00:25:33,743
[man] Wow. I love this.
451
00:25:34,869 --> 00:25:38,831
Where I am in my life right now is really
focusing on those emerging markets
452
00:25:38,832 --> 00:25:41,166
that our industry has ignored,
453
00:25:41,167 --> 00:25:46,006
that didn't let them in
to our fashion shows, our fashion weeks.
454
00:25:46,548 --> 00:25:48,591
J'adore, j'adore, j'adore!
455
00:25:48,592 --> 00:25:50,217
[both laughing]
456
00:25:50,218 --> 00:25:54,013
Those are the countries now
that I want to help have the same.
457
00:25:54,014 --> 00:25:57,100
Why not? They have talent there too.
458
00:25:57,726 --> 00:26:01,937
[Naomi on PA] Arise Fashion Week
has strived to showcase African fashion,
459
00:26:01,938 --> 00:26:05,566
African designers and African style,
460
00:26:05,567 --> 00:26:07,651
bringing them to the global stage,
461
00:26:07,652 --> 00:26:11,405
shining a bright light
on their creativity and excellence.
462
00:26:11,406 --> 00:26:15,034
They are the future and the time is now.
463
00:26:15,035 --> 00:26:16,118
[applause]
464
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,913
[Tinie Tempah] Though we've always had
the best creativity in Nigeria,
465
00:26:18,914 --> 00:26:20,831
I didn't really feel like this was a place
466
00:26:20,832 --> 00:26:25,420
where that creativity would be embraced
and celebrated in this modern times.
467
00:26:26,087 --> 00:26:28,505
[Naomi] I want to use who I am
468
00:26:28,506 --> 00:26:31,967
to change and to help young creatives
469
00:26:31,968 --> 00:26:36,056
be where they should be
and try to make up for lost time.
470
00:26:37,349 --> 00:26:41,019
This is where I think
I want to leave my legacy.
471
00:26:42,562 --> 00:26:46,398
I stayed in Nigeria
from December 4th, 2020,
472
00:26:46,399 --> 00:26:49,568
till March 5th, '21.
So I stayed there all that time.
473
00:26:49,569 --> 00:26:52,863
'Cause I didn't see any point
of going any... I don't...
474
00:26:52,864 --> 00:26:55,741
I just went to Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria.
475
00:26:55,742 --> 00:26:58,035
I stayed there the whole...
The whole time on the continent.
476
00:26:58,036 --> 00:27:00,246
And then I came back here.
477
00:27:00,247 --> 00:27:02,665
So that I hadn't been back since then,
so it had been a minute.
478
00:27:02,666 --> 00:27:03,958
- [man] Wow.
- Yeah.
479
00:27:03,959 --> 00:27:06,794
I planned to take my daughter
on this one, but I didn't work out.
480
00:27:06,795 --> 00:27:08,337
- So, next time.
- She's still young though...
481
00:27:08,338 --> 00:27:09,964
- But I took her to Senegal.
- Malaria and stuff...
482
00:27:09,965 --> 00:27:12,800
My daughter, she's the love of my life,
483
00:27:12,801 --> 00:27:15,302
she is everything to me,
484
00:27:15,303 --> 00:27:20,599
and it's the best thing I've ever done
in my whole life, is having my daughter.
485
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,019
[indistinct chatter]
486
00:27:24,020 --> 00:27:27,523
[man] Cindy, how many hours have you been
in hair and make-up your whole life?
487
00:27:27,524 --> 00:27:29,149
[laughter]
488
00:27:29,150 --> 00:27:33,112
I used to say if I had a...
Like, a nickel for every...
489
00:27:33,113 --> 00:27:36,532
for every hour I was in hair and makeup,
and then I was like, "Oh wait, I do."
490
00:27:36,533 --> 00:27:37,617
[laughing]
491
00:27:39,536 --> 00:27:41,120
- A certain benchmark, things that...
- Yes.
492
00:27:41,121 --> 00:27:42,413
- You know, are always there.
- Yeah, it's funny.
493
00:27:42,414 --> 00:27:45,040
Mine, mostly, weren't really in fashion.
494
00:27:45,041 --> 00:27:47,418
- Right.
- Mine were fashion adjacent.
495
00:27:47,419 --> 00:27:49,670
But you were, sort of, branding before
branding was kind of...
496
00:27:49,671 --> 00:27:51,338
- Yeah.
- A thing, right? In a way.
497
00:27:51,339 --> 00:27:52,756
[Cindy] I didn't really know
to call it that, but yeah.
498
00:27:52,757 --> 00:27:55,509
No, it wouldn't be called that yet,
no because, God...
499
00:27:55,510 --> 00:27:58,137
[Cindy] It was just like doing
your own stuff, and...
500
00:27:58,138 --> 00:28:00,472
- 'Cause I did my exercise video.
- Yeah, yeah.
501
00:28:00,473 --> 00:28:02,225
I did a calendar.
502
00:28:03,143 --> 00:28:06,103
I did a little make-up book, actually.
503
00:28:06,104 --> 00:28:07,771
Um, yeah, so...
504
00:28:07,772 --> 00:28:09,565
But people always said about you,
didn't they?
505
00:28:09,566 --> 00:28:12,443
Like Cindy's... you know,
she's a businesswoman. She's got it.
506
00:28:12,444 --> 00:28:14,945
Like, you know. And now it'd be like,
"Oh, she's a brand."
507
00:28:14,946 --> 00:28:17,406
[Cindy] I don't normally refer to myself
in the third person,
508
00:28:17,407 --> 00:28:22,162
but I'm a human being and my job is,
like, being Cindy Crawford.
509
00:28:22,913 --> 00:28:25,748
I've let my career
510
00:28:25,749 --> 00:28:29,168
reflect what I'm going through in my life.
511
00:28:29,169 --> 00:28:32,880
It's like, I'm not trying to be 55,
512
00:28:32,881 --> 00:28:36,300
doing the same things I was when I was 25.
513
00:28:36,301 --> 00:28:39,094
Back then I did Sports Illustrated,
514
00:28:39,095 --> 00:28:41,556
which was not
a good experience for me and...
515
00:28:42,724 --> 00:28:44,934
because I had an opinion [laughs]
516
00:28:44,935 --> 00:28:46,685
and that was not well received.
517
00:28:46,686 --> 00:28:49,898
So, then I was like, "You know what?
I'm going to do my own swimsuit calendar."
518
00:28:50,649 --> 00:28:53,984
Like, that was, like,
my first foray into doing my own thing.
519
00:28:53,985 --> 00:28:56,111
[applause, cheering]
520
00:28:56,112 --> 00:28:59,407
And it was successful and I raised money
for my charity, and it was great.
521
00:29:00,951 --> 00:29:04,036
So then that emboldened me
to do other things.
522
00:29:04,037 --> 00:29:05,621
I'm like,
"Okay, I've done that, now what?"
523
00:29:05,622 --> 00:29:06,914
[overlapping chatter]
524
00:29:06,915 --> 00:29:10,335
When I was 35
and my Revlon contract was up,
525
00:29:11,002 --> 00:29:13,921
it was kind of like,
"If I'm going to do my own thing,
526
00:29:13,922 --> 00:29:15,965
this feels like the right time."
527
00:29:15,966 --> 00:29:20,427
And I did not go forward
with re-signing with Revlon.
528
00:29:20,428 --> 00:29:24,598
I decided to do my own skincare line,
529
00:29:24,599 --> 00:29:26,476
and Meaningful Beauty was born.
530
00:29:27,561 --> 00:29:29,436
Instead of taking money up front,
531
00:29:29,437 --> 00:29:30,938
which is kind of what models do,
532
00:29:30,939 --> 00:29:33,190
it was like, I'm a partner,
a full partner,
533
00:29:33,191 --> 00:29:37,778
I have equity, I'm building a business.
I sit on the board.
534
00:29:37,779 --> 00:29:43,200
And then I also was asked
to do a furniture line
535
00:29:43,201 --> 00:29:47,247
because, you know, style is style,
including how you live.
536
00:29:48,123 --> 00:29:50,791
So, I started Cindy Crawford Home
15 years ago,
537
00:29:50,792 --> 00:29:55,296
and I really like it because
it's not so dependent on me
538
00:29:55,297 --> 00:29:57,798
not having a wrinkle or not getting old.
539
00:29:57,799 --> 00:30:02,887
It's just about me creating a sanctuary
in my home for myself and my family.
540
00:30:02,888 --> 00:30:04,556
And that's kind of timeless.
541
00:30:06,641 --> 00:30:09,602
I always knew I wanted a family,
542
00:30:09,603 --> 00:30:11,771
so I feel very blessed that...
543
00:30:12,689 --> 00:30:15,817
Rande and I
have been married 23 years.
544
00:30:16,735 --> 00:30:21,823
And have very similar ideas
about parenting and how to live our life.
545
00:30:24,784 --> 00:30:28,037
Our kids, when they were little,
546
00:30:28,038 --> 00:30:30,122
it was really hard to explain
to them, like,
547
00:30:30,123 --> 00:30:32,708
what Mommy's work is, like,
"What is a model?"
548
00:30:32,709 --> 00:30:35,377
And "Why are those people
taking your picture?"
549
00:30:35,378 --> 00:30:36,922
"What is fame?"
550
00:30:38,089 --> 00:30:41,091
I just remember coming home
when they were little,
551
00:30:41,092 --> 00:30:44,721
and especially my son would be like...
[sharp inhale] "Wash your face."
552
00:30:45,430 --> 00:30:48,807
They wanted, you know, Cindy.
553
00:30:48,808 --> 00:30:51,852
And no make-up... [chuckles]
hair pulled back and, um,
554
00:30:51,853 --> 00:30:54,480
you know, sitting on the floor
playing Play-Doh or cooking dinner,
555
00:30:54,481 --> 00:30:58,068
whatever their version of Mom
they needed in that moment was.
556
00:30:58,902 --> 00:31:02,196
Obviously, kids become
your main focus of life,
557
00:31:02,197 --> 00:31:07,702
and then you work in the other things
you are passionate about or want to do.
558
00:31:09,204 --> 00:31:13,874
Ever since I started my career and was
able to actually help raise awareness,
559
00:31:13,875 --> 00:31:16,752
help raise money, meeting with families,
560
00:31:16,753 --> 00:31:21,131
meeting with patients,
doing whatever I can.
561
00:31:21,132 --> 00:31:26,845
The type of leukemia that my brother was
diagnosed with was a death sentence.
562
00:31:26,846 --> 00:31:31,101
And it's not anymore and these kids
are going on to have their own children.
563
00:31:32,185 --> 00:31:36,105
My children,
now that they're getting older...
564
00:31:36,106 --> 00:31:37,648
It's been interesting
565
00:31:37,649 --> 00:31:42,695
having Kaia and Presley both, kind of,
dip their toes into the fashion world.
566
00:31:42,696 --> 00:31:45,155
I can help guide them right now
567
00:31:45,156 --> 00:31:47,533
and give them a little exposure
to see if they really like it
568
00:31:47,534 --> 00:31:49,702
or they just think they like it.
569
00:31:49,703 --> 00:31:54,665
[Jacobs] I met Kaia... Cindy brought her
to the... to the studio we were shooting at
570
00:31:54,666 --> 00:31:57,209
and Cindy said, like,
"Okay, I'm gonna leave Kaia,
571
00:31:57,210 --> 00:31:59,420
I'm not gonna be a stage mother
and try to..."
572
00:31:59,421 --> 00:32:02,799
But, you know, you could see
she was proud and excited for Kaia.
573
00:32:03,466 --> 00:32:06,011
And Kaia was the ultimate professional.
574
00:32:06,887 --> 00:32:08,178
[Kaia] There wasn't much
going through my mind.
575
00:32:08,179 --> 00:32:09,972
I think once the music starts
and they're like, "Go!"
576
00:32:09,973 --> 00:32:12,474
you kind of just lose everything
and it's like an instinct.
577
00:32:12,475 --> 00:32:14,226
[woman] And I heard you were proud,
watching on.
578
00:32:14,227 --> 00:32:15,477
Oh, yeah, it was incredible.
579
00:32:15,478 --> 00:32:17,271
She came to my first show,
so I had to come to hers.
580
00:32:17,272 --> 00:32:18,690
It was so fun.
581
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,152
[Cindy] When Kaia started modeling,
people would say,
582
00:32:23,153 --> 00:32:25,446
"You're gonna let her model?" I'm like,
583
00:32:25,447 --> 00:32:29,325
"If you have a daughter
over the age of eight, she is modeling,"
584
00:32:29,326 --> 00:32:33,163
because modeling
is now accessible to anyone.
585
00:32:37,208 --> 00:32:40,336
Social media was the great equalizer.
586
00:32:40,337 --> 00:32:43,047
Everybody can do it.
Everybody can show whatever they want.
587
00:32:43,048 --> 00:32:46,593
And it's changed the balance
of the hierarchy.
588
00:32:47,719 --> 00:32:49,720
Back then, you needed,
sort of, the photographers,
589
00:32:49,721 --> 00:32:52,640
the editors, the designers.
590
00:32:52,641 --> 00:32:55,810
To be a model now,
they are their own brands.
591
00:32:56,519 --> 00:32:59,271
They get booked directly
through Instagram.
592
00:32:59,272 --> 00:33:00,482
That didn't exist before.
593
00:33:01,316 --> 00:33:05,861
So the supermodel now has to have
a big social media presence
594
00:33:05,862 --> 00:33:09,491
to be able to reach the heights
of what the girls did back in the day.
595
00:33:10,283 --> 00:33:13,244
I realized things were changing
when clients are asking your agent,
596
00:33:13,245 --> 00:33:15,955
"Well, how many Instagram followers
does she have?"
597
00:33:15,956 --> 00:33:20,000
Before, like, the magazines
could kind of dictate,
598
00:33:20,001 --> 00:33:23,296
"This is what is fashion."
599
00:33:23,755 --> 00:33:25,756
But when social media happened,
600
00:33:25,757 --> 00:33:30,761
there's such an explosion
of images that we see.
601
00:33:30,762 --> 00:33:34,224
A lot of them are very different than
we were used to seeing in magazines.
602
00:33:35,016 --> 00:33:37,351
[Robin Givhan] Right now,
there's greater diversity
603
00:33:37,352 --> 00:33:39,604
in a lot of different categories.
604
00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:42,648
They can speak up and be heard
605
00:33:42,649 --> 00:33:45,150
and their voices
can really be amplified in a way
606
00:33:45,151 --> 00:33:48,112
that wasn't available
to previous generations.
607
00:33:48,113 --> 00:33:51,283
The question is, will it endure?
608
00:33:52,617 --> 00:33:54,910
[Cindy] Maybe the idea
of what a model is
609
00:33:54,911 --> 00:33:58,205
and represents now has picked up steam,
610
00:33:58,206 --> 00:34:01,083
and maybe that's a great thing.
611
00:34:01,084 --> 00:34:03,544
You can find...
You can find anything, you know,
612
00:34:03,545 --> 00:34:07,256
and there's all these different ideas
of beauty now.
613
00:34:07,257 --> 00:34:11,051
And all of a sudden,
that is creating its own stars,
614
00:34:11,052 --> 00:34:14,597
its own momentum,
its own energy and its own ideas.
615
00:34:15,807 --> 00:34:20,729
There's some feeling that maybe
we helped the train leave the station.
616
00:34:21,938 --> 00:34:24,315
And, I mean, now I'm just
Kaia's mom, by the way.
617
00:34:24,316 --> 00:34:27,026
You know, my Instagram
should probably just be "Kaia's mom,"
618
00:34:27,027 --> 00:34:28,277
and I'd probably have more followers.
619
00:34:28,278 --> 00:34:31,822
- [blow dryer whirring]
- [people chattering]
620
00:34:31,823 --> 00:34:34,700
I can't believe we're all, like,
from small towns all over the world
621
00:34:34,701 --> 00:34:36,410
and then we're like,
"Wait, we're all here,"
622
00:34:36,411 --> 00:34:39,078
- today shooting this thing, you know.
- Exactly.
623
00:34:39,079 --> 00:34:40,498
With Steven.
624
00:34:40,916 --> 00:34:42,458
I just... I know we're gonna get it.
625
00:34:42,459 --> 00:34:44,627
Like, there's no question
when you're with Steven,
626
00:34:44,628 --> 00:34:47,462
you're gonna get the shot. That's it.
627
00:34:47,463 --> 00:34:50,966
Steven Meisel today, he's very private.
628
00:34:50,967 --> 00:34:53,344
But I feel like for insurance purposes,
629
00:34:53,345 --> 00:34:56,305
for what we're looking for in this group,
630
00:34:56,306 --> 00:34:59,892
we'll all feel well looked-after,
631
00:34:59,893 --> 00:35:04,606
and, like, the image will be something
that will endure.
632
00:35:06,316 --> 00:35:12,529
He has, sort of, the most consistent,
holistic, beautiful...
633
00:35:12,530 --> 00:35:14,823
And it's, like,
it could be fast and simple.
634
00:35:14,824 --> 00:35:16,492
It doesn't have to be...
635
00:35:16,493 --> 00:35:18,494
We used to always call it giving birth.
636
00:35:18,495 --> 00:35:20,080
Um, it doesn't have to be giving birth.
637
00:35:21,456 --> 00:35:26,544
I think the story, the direction,
the angle and the trust, really.
638
00:35:26,545 --> 00:35:30,214
The image, if you look back
over the time of any of our careers,
639
00:35:30,215 --> 00:35:34,176
the ones that still hold up
are those ones.
640
00:35:34,177 --> 00:35:36,846
All the stars kind of aligned.
641
00:35:39,099 --> 00:35:41,017
[Linda] They were all a character.
642
00:35:42,727 --> 00:35:45,146
'Cause it certainly wasn't me.
643
00:35:47,190 --> 00:35:50,193
That's why I love the fashion world
so much.
644
00:35:52,904 --> 00:35:56,908
It's, like, a way of getting to be
who you want to be.
645
00:35:59,077 --> 00:36:04,415
I wanted to be a model,
but becoming a mom,
646
00:36:04,416 --> 00:36:10,130
that's the most fulfilling thing
that has ever happened to me.
647
00:36:11,214 --> 00:36:12,424
My son...
648
00:36:13,717 --> 00:36:15,051
He's fun...
649
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,095
he's easy...
650
00:36:17,971 --> 00:36:19,222
kind...
651
00:36:19,931 --> 00:36:22,642
We're a small family,
it's just me and him.
652
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,188
He's been my rock.
He's been so supportive.
653
00:36:31,484 --> 00:36:33,360
[Kim Jones] I didn't really know Linda.
654
00:36:33,361 --> 00:36:36,906
But, you know, I'd loved her as a fan,
655
00:36:36,907 --> 00:36:40,034
and... and I wrote her a letter 'cause
I'd seen the People magazine article
656
00:36:40,035 --> 00:36:42,494
and I just saw her
and she looked beautiful.
657
00:36:42,495 --> 00:36:46,165
And I thought, you know,
why don't I ask and see if she wants to do
658
00:36:46,166 --> 00:36:48,918
a show for Fendi in New York.
659
00:36:48,919 --> 00:36:53,005
So, it's a straight walk and then...
And we'll do it now.
660
00:36:53,006 --> 00:36:56,258
Yeah, so what we'll do is,
we'll look towards you,
661
00:36:56,259 --> 00:36:59,220
start clapping
and then you come towards us.
662
00:36:59,221 --> 00:37:01,096
- [Linda] What... Why are you clap...?
- Because it's you.
663
00:37:01,097 --> 00:37:02,890
- Not for me, no!
- Don't be silly.
664
00:37:02,891 --> 00:37:05,100
- I'm here for you!
- We're celebrating you as well.
665
00:37:05,101 --> 00:37:08,646
- [technician] Then pull it a bit longer.
- We're here for you as well.
666
00:37:08,647 --> 00:37:11,191
- [Linda] I'm here to support you.
- And you.
667
00:37:13,401 --> 00:37:15,569
[Jones] We really wanted to celebrate her.
668
00:37:15,570 --> 00:37:19,240
And it was, like, a real, sort of
safe space for her to be in,
669
00:37:19,241 --> 00:37:21,242
and like, you know, her family, almost.
670
00:37:21,243 --> 00:37:23,869
- [indistinct chatter]
- I want a hug too!
671
00:37:23,870 --> 00:37:26,372
[faint up-tempo music playing]
672
00:37:26,373 --> 00:37:29,041
I haven't been in this situation in years.
673
00:37:29,042 --> 00:37:31,085
Uh, I... I feel like that.
674
00:37:31,086 --> 00:37:35,549
You know, and this is a celebration.
So, let's do it.
675
00:37:38,301 --> 00:37:39,844
[Linda] After all these years...
676
00:37:41,346 --> 00:37:44,265
I just didn't want to hide anymore.
677
00:37:44,266 --> 00:37:45,433
I didn't...
678
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,936
[voice shaking]
I wanted to start living again.
679
00:37:48,937 --> 00:37:52,523
So when I get in the middle of you,
can you step forward?
680
00:37:52,524 --> 00:37:54,066
[man speaking, indistinct]
681
00:37:54,067 --> 00:37:55,526
Okay.
682
00:37:55,527 --> 00:38:00,030
No one ever held my age
against me, ever.
683
00:38:00,031 --> 00:38:03,868
And I think our generation of models...
684
00:38:04,828 --> 00:38:09,499
made people's perceptions
of what beauty is...
685
00:38:11,543 --> 00:38:13,003
change.
686
00:38:14,212 --> 00:38:19,426
Beauty doesn't have to have an ending
or a... expiry date.
687
00:38:20,427 --> 00:38:24,305
They used to say beauty
is not sustainable.
688
00:38:24,306 --> 00:38:28,017
It's, like, youth is not sustainable.
689
00:38:28,018 --> 00:38:31,146
Beauty is. There's a difference.
690
00:38:33,857 --> 00:38:36,108
[applause, cheering]
691
00:38:36,109 --> 00:38:41,113
[Jones] Watching her on a runway
and just how she owns it and controls it
692
00:38:41,114 --> 00:38:45,159
and knows how to play with an audience,
it's almost like an actor.
693
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,371
And I think that's the kind of thing
that's really fascinating to watch.
694
00:38:49,372 --> 00:38:51,540
- [animated chatter]
- [woman hums fanfare]
695
00:38:51,541 --> 00:38:54,920
[people cheering, whistling]
696
00:38:58,089 --> 00:39:01,342
[Jones] Backstage after the show,
when Linda came out...
697
00:39:01,343 --> 00:39:04,178
- Feel the bag. Feel it.
- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
698
00:39:04,179 --> 00:39:05,971
All the girls just freaked out,
all the new...
699
00:39:05,972 --> 00:39:08,850
You know, new generation of models
was like, "Oh, my God. That's Linda."
700
00:39:09,309 --> 00:39:10,894
You looked gorgeous.
701
00:39:13,313 --> 00:39:15,105
[Jones] They were, like, just, like,
all in shock.
702
00:39:15,106 --> 00:39:18,734
And that was just really sweet because,
you know, that's their idol.
703
00:39:18,735 --> 00:39:22,363
And the one thing with supermodels
is they still appeal to young people
704
00:39:22,364 --> 00:39:27,493
because they, you know, that's what
those girls want to... wanted to be.
705
00:39:27,494 --> 00:39:30,330
- [people calling out]
- [cameras clicking]
706
00:39:41,341 --> 00:39:42,175
[Linda] Oh...
707
00:39:42,176 --> 00:39:43,509
[excited chatter]
708
00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:44,469
- [man] Hey!
- [Linda] Hey!
709
00:39:44,470 --> 00:39:47,055
[all chattering]
710
00:39:49,683 --> 00:39:51,976
- [Cindy] How are you?
- [Linda] I'm here. [laughs]
711
00:39:51,977 --> 00:39:53,727
- I know, I'm proud of you.
- [Linda] It's gonna be fun.
712
00:39:53,728 --> 00:39:55,896
- [Cindy] I know!
- [Linda] This sounds like a reunion.
713
00:39:55,897 --> 00:39:57,606
[Cindy] I know.
I don't like that we're all split up.
714
00:39:57,607 --> 00:40:01,485
[Christy] You wanted to separate?
I was like, "Who asked for this?"
715
00:40:01,486 --> 00:40:03,070
[laughs]
716
00:40:03,071 --> 00:40:04,406
- Hi.
- Hi.
717
00:40:06,074 --> 00:40:07,033
- [Guido] Hi.
- [Christy] Which one are you?
718
00:40:07,034 --> 00:40:08,742
- [Linda] I don't know.
- [woman] You're next door. Next door.
719
00:40:08,743 --> 00:40:10,828
Oh, okay. You're right.
We can open our curtain.
720
00:40:10,829 --> 00:40:13,706
- [Linda] Oh, nice. Oh, okay.
- [Christy] Okay.
721
00:40:13,707 --> 00:40:15,333
[Linda] Okay, I'll see you in a minute.
722
00:40:20,839 --> 00:40:21,673
- [Naomi] Good to see you.
- [Linda] How are you?
723
00:40:21,674 --> 00:40:23,132
- [Naomi] Good, thank you.
- [Linda] Nice to see you.
724
00:40:23,133 --> 00:40:25,175
- You too.
- See you in a bit.
725
00:40:25,176 --> 00:40:27,595
So... hair's done.
726
00:40:27,596 --> 00:40:29,305
[man laughing]
727
00:40:29,306 --> 00:40:31,766
The hair's done. Okay.
728
00:40:33,685 --> 00:40:36,937
I would love to take my hat off but
I'm not gonna take my hat off until...
729
00:40:36,938 --> 00:40:39,107
[woman] Do you want me
to grab Sandy and Guido?
730
00:40:39,983 --> 00:40:42,651
No. Well, yeah, actually,
they should go first.
731
00:40:42,652 --> 00:40:43,987
- Sure. Yeah.
- [Guido] Hi.
732
00:40:45,488 --> 00:40:47,615
So, I always massage Linda first,
she demands it.
733
00:40:47,616 --> 00:40:50,075
Yeah. [laughs]
734
00:40:50,076 --> 00:40:52,453
Who's your easiest client?
735
00:40:52,454 --> 00:40:54,371
- You.
- Of course.
736
00:40:54,372 --> 00:40:57,666
- Of course.
- Don't believe a word you've heard, right?
737
00:40:57,667 --> 00:40:59,251
- Don't believe anything.
- [laughing]
738
00:40:59,252 --> 00:41:02,756
[stylist] Me or her? Okay.
739
00:41:07,177 --> 00:41:09,637
[Christy] It feels, like, consistent
with some of the things I sent.
740
00:41:09,638 --> 00:41:11,013
- [stylist] Right.
- But also...
741
00:41:11,014 --> 00:41:13,974
- today, modern, but...
- Elevated. Yeah. Yeah.
742
00:41:13,975 --> 00:41:15,643
- [Christy] Yeah. I like it.
- It almost feels real.
743
00:41:15,644 --> 00:41:19,772
- And not retro, it's...
- I know from him, he wanted it to feel...
744
00:41:19,773 --> 00:41:20,898
- Ourselves.
- Yeah.
745
00:41:20,899 --> 00:41:22,191
And he's like, "It's not a fashion shoot."
746
00:41:22,192 --> 00:41:23,817
Meanwhile, we have
a bunch of fashion stuff.
747
00:41:23,818 --> 00:41:26,570
- Yeah.
- But, this is...
748
00:41:26,571 --> 00:41:28,322
- Yeah.
- Elevated. You know, it's not jeans
749
00:41:28,323 --> 00:41:31,200
- but it feels...
- No, especially if it's next to others...
750
00:41:31,201 --> 00:41:33,202
- Exactly, yeah. Yeah.
- Who might have more going on.
751
00:41:33,203 --> 00:41:34,578
- Levels.
- Yeah.
752
00:41:34,579 --> 00:41:36,581
Okay, I think we're done here.
753
00:41:38,792 --> 00:41:40,918
[Cindy] I like the double look, don't you?
754
00:41:40,919 --> 00:41:42,546
- More moda.
- Yeah.
755
00:41:43,964 --> 00:41:46,715
You guys always make it sound so chic.
[laughs]
756
00:41:46,716 --> 00:41:48,175
I'm like, "I like the bigger one."
757
00:41:48,176 --> 00:41:49,803
[stylist laughs]
758
00:41:51,054 --> 00:41:52,263
- [woman] I love it.
- Yeah.
759
00:41:52,264 --> 00:41:53,472
That's cool.
760
00:41:53,473 --> 00:41:56,559
[Linda] Those Manolo are the ones
he made for me a long time ago.
761
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:57,935
[stylist] Perfect shape, too.
762
00:41:57,936 --> 00:41:59,728
[Linda] They used to
be called Evangelista
763
00:41:59,729 --> 00:42:01,355
and now they're just called...
764
00:42:01,356 --> 00:42:03,274
Now they're called Gelista.
765
00:42:03,275 --> 00:42:06,694
- Or now, yeah, they have the bow and...
- Little bow on the front, yes.
766
00:42:06,695 --> 00:42:08,572
[Linda] That's from the early '90s.
767
00:42:09,281 --> 00:42:11,616
It's still good. It's timeless.
768
00:42:13,410 --> 00:42:15,494
[Christy] Yeah. 'Cause, I mean,
we're never really together like that.
769
00:42:15,495 --> 00:42:18,582
[stylist] I know. When was the last time,
do you guys know?
770
00:42:19,332 --> 00:42:23,795
That... With Steven, and a group,
not in years, honestly.
771
00:42:25,338 --> 00:42:27,841
[man] Last looks, last checks.
772
00:42:28,633 --> 00:42:31,093
[Christy, whispers] Let's go. [chuckles]
773
00:42:31,094 --> 00:42:33,221
[Cindy] Let's do one check in the mirror.
774
00:42:34,222 --> 00:42:35,348
[Christy] How are we doing?
775
00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:39,518
I think I need less hairspray. [laughs]
776
00:42:39,519 --> 00:42:41,771
Oh, too late!
777
00:42:43,189 --> 00:42:46,150
[Linda] I don't believe we got
the four of us together.
778
00:42:46,151 --> 00:42:47,401
- That's been a while.
- [Naomi] I can't believe...
779
00:42:47,402 --> 00:42:49,862
- [Christy] I still can't remember.
- [Cindy] Vanity Fair, I was thinking.
780
00:42:49,863 --> 00:42:52,197
- [Christy] Vanity Fair. You're right.
- [Cindy] Okay, yes.
781
00:42:52,198 --> 00:42:53,365
And it wasn't just the four of us.
782
00:42:53,366 --> 00:42:55,534
- [Christy] With Stephanie and Claudia.
- [Cindy] And Claudia.
783
00:42:55,535 --> 00:42:57,036
[Linda] Claudia was there,
yeah, Stephanie.
784
00:42:57,037 --> 00:42:59,748
- They were our generation.
- [Cindy] They were our generation.
785
00:43:01,875 --> 00:43:05,502
[Christy] I mean, I think everything
about us here today
786
00:43:05,503 --> 00:43:07,838
is, sort of, the opposite
of what I imagined
787
00:43:07,839 --> 00:43:10,008
when I first came into the industry.
788
00:43:11,551 --> 00:43:14,387
Like, I thought it was, like,
gonna be a minute...
789
00:43:15,472 --> 00:43:18,433
and life would go on.
790
00:43:19,392 --> 00:43:21,853
And life has gone on.
791
00:43:23,271 --> 00:43:24,605
But it's been...
792
00:43:24,606 --> 00:43:26,524
[echoing laughter]
793
00:43:27,150 --> 00:43:28,401
decades.
794
00:43:33,031 --> 00:43:37,076
[Todd Oldham]
Magic happens when the stars align.
795
00:43:37,077 --> 00:43:40,496
When an exquisite model shows up
with the right designer
796
00:43:40,497 --> 00:43:42,414
and the right photographer
in the right light and the right make-up.
797
00:43:42,415 --> 00:43:44,583
You can do these
transcendent things that...
798
00:43:44,584 --> 00:43:45,960
[camera shutter clicks]
799
00:43:45,961 --> 00:43:47,254
last forever.
800
00:43:47,879 --> 00:43:54,261
They were refining, you know,
images to become very iconic.
801
00:43:54,928 --> 00:43:56,303
[shutter click]
802
00:43:56,304 --> 00:44:01,810
I-I'm just flattered.
I'm glad I reached that level.
803
00:44:02,602 --> 00:44:05,354
[Goodman] They brought their artistry...
804
00:44:05,355 --> 00:44:06,897
[shutter clicks]
805
00:44:06,898 --> 00:44:08,857
to the image.
806
00:44:08,858 --> 00:44:10,151
It's really phenomenal.
807
00:44:10,610 --> 00:44:13,112
[Jeanne Beker] You can't say every model
in the fashion business...
808
00:44:13,113 --> 00:44:14,530
[shutter clicks]
809
00:44:14,531 --> 00:44:16,073
is an artist.
810
00:44:16,074 --> 00:44:18,952
But some really are.
811
00:44:20,745 --> 00:44:22,122
[shutter clicks]
812
00:44:22,706 --> 00:44:25,499
Models still are glamorous
because that's what we do.
813
00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:28,378
Um, and that's what people...
814
00:44:28,962 --> 00:44:31,131
They want to look at it
and they want to see it.
815
00:44:33,758 --> 00:44:36,844
[Emily Bierman] The photographs
had such a huge impact
816
00:44:36,845 --> 00:44:39,598
in the larger landscape of art
817
00:44:40,348 --> 00:44:45,353
because they're
endlessly intriguing to look at.
818
00:44:46,479 --> 00:44:49,732
They're like when you
look at Renaissance paintings.
819
00:44:49,733 --> 00:44:52,944
The Mona Lisa was the face of her era.
820
00:44:54,571 --> 00:44:59,408
[Bierman] Today, there's a strong market
for fashion photography.
821
00:44:59,409 --> 00:45:03,788
At auction, you might see prices
that are a couple thousand dollars...
822
00:45:04,706 --> 00:45:09,920
to a million dollars or more because
they're icons of a generation.
823
00:45:11,129 --> 00:45:14,799
Those girls defined power for women.
824
00:45:15,217 --> 00:45:17,260
It was women supporting each other.
825
00:45:18,053 --> 00:45:19,763
And people listened to them.
826
00:45:20,388 --> 00:45:23,892
They were the first influencers
of fashion.
827
00:45:25,018 --> 00:45:27,978
[Jacobs] Cindy, Linda, Christy, Naomi.
828
00:45:27,979 --> 00:45:30,773
They're larger-than-life.
They're names that everybody knows.
829
00:45:30,774 --> 00:45:34,277
People who've never bought a designer
dress know who those women are.
830
00:45:35,237 --> 00:45:40,574
[Galliano] Those girls took it to a level
of professionalism and perfection.
831
00:45:40,575 --> 00:45:43,078
They're super in more ways
than they're real.
832
00:45:44,329 --> 00:45:47,581
[Suzy Menkes] I think the fact
the super models are still around
833
00:45:47,582 --> 00:45:50,544
proves that they really
never went out of fashion.
834
00:45:52,087 --> 00:45:55,381
[Enninful] Cindy, Linda, Christy and Naomi
835
00:45:55,382 --> 00:45:58,176
are still redefining what it means
to be a model.
836
00:45:59,094 --> 00:46:01,345
- [Christy] I'm so happy to see you.
- [man] Let's start it with Christy.
837
00:46:01,346 --> 00:46:03,264
- [Naomi] So, that's a good thing, I guess.
- [Linda] I know.
838
00:46:03,265 --> 00:46:04,391
[Cindy laughs]
839
00:46:04,808 --> 00:46:06,183
[Naomi] Can we go, like, straight?
840
00:46:06,184 --> 00:46:08,395
[Cindy] We want to go, like,
just more like...
841
00:46:09,145 --> 00:46:11,188
["Freedom! '90" by George Michael playing]
842
00:46:11,189 --> 00:46:13,941
[Linda] Oh, oh. Okay, get us in the mood!
Get us in the mood.
843
00:46:13,942 --> 00:46:14,984
[woman] Ready to go?
844
00:46:14,985 --> 00:46:16,987
- [Linda] Ready!
- Okay.
845
00:46:20,740 --> 00:46:22,741
[Christy] There's been lots of phases,
and we've all gone through
846
00:46:22,742 --> 00:46:26,453
so many things in our own lives,
personally, and professionally.
847
00:46:26,454 --> 00:46:27,663
[younger Christy]
I don't think I've changed that much.
848
00:46:27,664 --> 00:46:30,624
The same people that I started
to hang around with when I first started
849
00:46:30,625 --> 00:46:32,627
are the same people that I'm with now.
850
00:46:33,128 --> 00:46:35,337
[Naomi] I think when
you come together with people
851
00:46:35,338 --> 00:46:38,632
that have been part of your journey
and you consider them chosen family,
852
00:46:38,633 --> 00:46:40,885
- I think that's emotional.
- [phone camera clicks]
853
00:46:40,886 --> 00:46:43,513
Just take it day by day
and what comes, comes.
854
00:46:44,347 --> 00:46:46,724
And all the big girls are the nicest ones.
855
00:46:46,725 --> 00:46:50,144
[Linda] I feel blessed
that we're here today.
856
00:46:50,145 --> 00:46:53,607
There's something about
that shared history that we have.
857
00:46:55,984 --> 00:46:58,903
We can never have it with anybody else.
