8 of Fashion's Biggest Names Honor Donna Karan Relaunch Lensed by Annie Leibovitz

In 1992 American designer Donna Karan launched her campaign “In Women We Trust” shot by Peter Lindbergh. That fashion maverick statement about female leadership and competence was celebrated again today — not with America’s first woman president which we’ve all hoped for — but with photographer legend Annie Leibovitz gathering eight models so famous that they can go by their first names without confusion.

Featured in the Donna Karan revival campaign are Amber Valletta, Carolyn Murphy, Cindy Crawford, Imaan Hammam, Karlie Kloss, Linda Evangelista, Liya Kebede and Shalom Harlow.

Photographer Leibovitz shot the campaign in a Brooklyn warehouse, with video by Barbara Leibovitz Hellman and styling by Jessica Diehl.

Cindy Crawford Covers Flaunt Magazine's 25th Anniversary Issue, Lensed by Greg Swales

Cindy Crawford Covers Flaunt Magazine's 25th Anniversary Issue, Lensed by Greg Swales

Supermodel Cindy Crawford covers Los Angeles-based Flaunt Magazine’s [IG] 25th Anniversary issue. Crawford delivers an impressive fashion story shoot, styled by Mui-Hai Chu, in Bottega Veneta on the cover. Photographer Greg Swales [IG] is behind the lens.

Flaunt writes: “Cindy Crawford, one of the world’s first and most well-known supermodels, is a rare icon that represents the past, the present, and the future. As seen in the recent Apple TV docuseries ‘The Super Models’, Crawford has made a profession out of risk-taking and has successfully navigated an ever-changing world of fashion, modeling, and media.”

There’s a reason why so many top models love to work with Greg Swales. Having watched Crawford on video in a November 2024 event attached to Omega Watches, these images are very much what Crawford looks like today.

The California light is kind to human faces. What I like about Greg Swales’ images is that the closeups of older women’s faces are not overtouched.

Gathering before their Apple TV+ four-part documentary Vogue US and British Vogue’s September 2023 issues honor ‘The Greatest of All Time’ models, the ‘Supersonic Supers’. The interviews and shoot predated the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Cindy Crawford Delivers for Vogue Arabia March 2023, Lensed by Thomas Whiteside

Cindy Crawford Delivers for Vogue Arabia March 2023, Lensed by Thomas Whiteside

Supermodel Cindy Crawford covers the sixth anniversary issue of Vogue Arabia, taking the March 2023 spotlight with a declaration: “What I don’t want to do is be part of that message that’s telling women of a certain age, ‘You got to hang it up now.’ Like, why? I don’t believe in a season of invisibility.”

Patrick Mackie styles Crawford in va-va-voom elegance for women of every age in images by Thomas Whiteside [IG].

The point made by this 57-year-old fashion industry insider is that she can wear the clothes if she wants to — although Cindy does confirm that she’s not trying to be on the cover of ‘Sports Illustrated’ in 2023. Deal with it!

Speaking to Vogue Arabia’s Hala Gorani, Cindy wants to talk about the Apple TV documentary series that will introduce four of the supers — Cindy-Naomi-Linda-Christy — to a younger generation. “Two weeks ago, we were all on set, shooting together. It’s been a long time since the four of us were together in front of the camera and it was amazing. In a weird way, it was like no time had passed and, in another way, we also were fully our adult selves.”

Christy, Linda, Naomi, Cindy & Tatjana by Peter Lindbergh for Vogue Australia (2013) as 'Supernova' | AOC Archives

Update 1/11/2023: AOC has written multiple times about Peter Lindbergh’s famous supermodel shoot for British Vogue and its hallmark relevance in inspiring the George Michael ‘Freedom 90’ video. Cindy Crawford shared the video on Instagram three years ago. Prior to that we moved it to the front of the fashion channel on December 25, 2016, with the passing of George Michael.

Regretfully, we again move the video to the front of our channel with the passing of Tatjana Patitz — the super who marched to her own melody. Losing acclaimed photographer Peter Lindbergh — Tatjana’s fashion godfather — on September 3, 2019 was such a gut punch. Today’s news is another ember on a fire of uber-talented people who have left planet Earth long before we were ready to leave them.

May your next act be glorious Tatjana Patitz. ~ Anne
