Kristen McMenamy on Supermodel Spats and Being ‘So Insecure’
“Kristen was a big problem with my brother at first; she was crazy!” recalls designer Donatella Versace in a new Style.com/Print profile of supermodel Kirsten McMenamy.
According to Versace, it was “like a war” anytime a new girl came on the scene, and when McMenamy arrived in the early ’90s, well, let’s just say we kinda wish fashion reality shows were around then.

Versace Couture Spring 2013: Structured Suiting and Sexy Babydoll Dresses
Long Nguyen is the co-founder and style director of Flaunt
PARIS–Donatella Versace could not have chosen a more appropriate locale for her Atelier Versace show.
She presented her spring couture collection at Le Centorial, a turn of the century restored building in the Bourse area of Paris which was, at the time of its construction in 1876, a revoluationary architectural project built by Gustave Eiffel’s firm. Old traditions met modern steel and glass constructions; the dome of Le Centorial rivaled that of the Grand Palais. So it was fitting that Versace’s collection was all about the interplay between structured garments and soft fabrics.

New Model Lily McMenamy on Being a ‘Greasy Teen’ and How Her Famous Mom Taught Her to Catwalk
When your mom is supermodel Kristen McMenamy, it could be hard growing up in such a tall and legendary shadow. Not so for McMenamy’s 18-year-old daughter, Lily McMenamy, who moved to Paris and landed Saint Laurent (as we told you she would) and Chanel as her first ever runway shows. Not too shabby.

Supermodel Signatures: What Makes a Model Stand Out From the Crowd
Supermodels are having a resurgence. Our faves from the 80s and 90s are still popping up on runways (Alexander Wang), editorials (Naomi Campbell in W) and campaigns (Linda Evangelista for Chanel eyewear). Doing any one job for 20+ years is pretty impressive, but when it’s a job like modeling, it truly is a feat of Read more →

We Investigate: The Curious Case of the Ageless Supermodels From the ’90s
When Claudia Schiffer’s Guess ads dropped yesterday we literally had trouble deciphering between the current ones and the ones from 1989. I mean, the woman has not aged a day! In 23 years! Then today, Christy Turlington goes ahead and shows up on Tatler also preternaturally unchanged.
This got us thinking about all our favorite 90s supermodels–Naomi, Cindy, Elle, etc.,–whose modeling careers are still kicking, well into their forties. And it’s not hard to see why: The ladies are as gorgeous as they were twenty years ago. And there’s nary a boob that has dropped even an inch. Don’t believe us? Click through the gallery below for a side-by-side comparison of some of our favorite supermodels today–and way back when.
