Fashion journalist Caroline Leaper's new book, 'Supermodels Discovered', explores the fascinating journeys of 53 influential supermodels from 1911 to the present day. Through a Q&A format, Leaper delves into their inspirations, defining moments, initial experiences in the industry, and how they set boundaries on their own terms.
— Supermodels have sold the world everything, from couture gowns and toothpaste to tomes featuring highlights from their modeling careers. But where did they ever come from?
“I didn’t have any friends. That time of my life was so difficult and painful that just to have something to look forward to during the summer holidays, I gave them a call again. They had an open house, and I got the train to Manchester and did the casting call,” she recalled. “I was wearing stonewashed Chipie jeans, a Fiorucci sweatshirt and blue eye shadow. It was the first time I had been to a nightclub in a big city. I remember that encounter so clearly: We were dancing to ‘You Spin Me Round’ by Dead or Alive. However, I took his card and discussed it with my parents the next day,” the German supermodel remembered.There are tender moments in the book, such as Aden’s story in the fashion industry and setting out a contract on her own terms.
