The ’90s are making a comeback!
“As the fashion industry continues to redefine itself – and women’s roles within it – this is the ultimate story of power and how four women came together to claim it, paving the way for those to follow,” explains apress releasefor the series set to premiere globally on Sept. 20.
Crawford, 57, Campbell, 53, Turlington, 54, and Evangelista, 58, are executive producers on the series. Brian Grazer,Ron Howard, Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes, Kopple, Roger Ross Williams and Geoff Martz are executive producers as well.
Campbell praised the series in a February 2022interview withBritish Vogueand explained that it gave the models a chance to tell their stories from their own perspectives.
“It’s about our life and times together: our friendship, careers, our womanhood, our motherhood,” she said. “As models, we don’t have any rights to our image, so it feels good to be partners on our legacy – and in our own words.”

Campbell called the era an “incredible time,” but noted how hard they worked to achieve superstardom. “And no matter how many outfit changes, how many shows, we never said we were tired,” Campbell toldBritish Vogue. “We all loved it and we kept each other’s energy up. We did eight shows a day and then we would go and celebrate with the designers in the evening. I wonder sometimes if models now could have kept up with us.”
Evangelista’s appearance in the documentary comes a year aftershe spoke with PEOPLE following nearly five years in seclusion. She claimed the procedure CoolSculpting, promoted as a noninvasive alternative to liposuction, left her"permanently deformed” and “brutally disfigured.”
“I loved being up on the catwalk. Now I dread running into someone I know,” Evangelista told PEOPLE in February 2022. “I can’t live like this anymore, in hiding and shame. I just couldn’t live in this pain any longer. I’m willing to finally speak.” Evangelista later said she didn’t look in the mirror because “it doesn’t look like me.”
“Why do we feel the need to do these things [to our bodies]? I always knew I would age. And I know that there are things a body goes through. But I just didn’t think I would look like this,” Evangelista went on to explain, adding that she was hopeful her story would comfort others in similar situations.
“I hope I can shed myself of some of the shame and help other people who are in the same situation as me,” she said. “That’s my goal.”
The models featured in the documentary also starred in George Michael’s “Freedom! ‘90” music video,which Evangelista toldBritish Vogueshe didn’t want to be in. “George was instrumental in gathering me for the video — the video I did not want to do,” she revealed. “But once I was here I had a blast. I would’ve regretted not doing it.”
