They worked with the top designers and photographers, though it was a music video, George Michael’s “Freedom”, which helped cement their status in the public consciousness as the first “supermodels”.

“The 1990s was a unique time historically, where everything was converging – fashion, music, you had MTV just starting – right before the brink of the internet,” said co-director Larissa Bills.

“These women were like the original influencers. Before the internet, before social media, they were able to bring a whole world to the public in a way that hadn’t been done before.”

It is the first time they have shared their story together.
