With a smile that can light up a room and unparalleled cheekbones, it’s no wonder Turlington was the face of dozens of campaigns and a runway mainstay in the ’90s.

“He was kind of creepy, to tell the truth. I didn’t really want to do it – I didn’t even really know what it was all about. But my mom agreed," the model toldThe Gentlewomanin a 2012 interview. “The pictures are hilarious to look at now. When he was taking them, he said, ‘Look bitchy.’ I was 14 – I didn’t know what he was even talking about!”
