9 Models that Ruled the 90s

They were the elite. They were the most recognizable, most scandalous, most singular personas in the fashion world. Here are the eight models that ruled the fashion world in the 90s!

Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks was the first black woman to be featured on the cover of both GQ and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. So, if you think fashion magazines have a problem with diversity now, imagine the hubbub something like this could have (and absolutely did) caused in the 90s. Tyra Banks’s career went further than fashion runways as she stared in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Coyote Ugly.

Cindy Crawford
By the time the 90s rolled around Cindy Crawford’s modeling career was already in full swing, but a few iconic appearances blew her into the stratosphere of modeling stardom. First, there was that red dress at the Oscars that nobody could stop talking about for months. That was soon followed by a Super Bowl commercial (the Pepsi one – I’m sure you remember). All of a sudden Cindy Crawford was everywhere and girls all over the world were drawing beauty marks above their lips with their mum’s eyeliner.

Claudia Schiffer
Claudia Schiffer was the definition of model in the early 90’s. While many of the models on this list were up-and-comers in the early 1990s, Claudia Schiffer was it and she was showing everyone how it’s done. This German model was chosen to be the face of Chanel by non other than the late Karl Lagerfeld. Today Claudia still models and stars in campaigns for YSL, Chanel, D&G, and many other fashion houses.
