'Wonder Woman' Christy Turlington | W Mag July 1997 | Michael Thompson | The Supermodels

We are calling out the older femmes — the real Supermodels in the coming weeks. There’s no better place to begin than with Christy Turlington, a key Smart Sensuality role model woman.

Turlington has turned her sexy smarts into studying for an advanced degree in maternal health at Columbia University. Christy Turlington’s new documentary ‘No Woman No Cry’ is her first attempt at leveraging her reputation, competence and celebrity on behalf of the world’s women. Her philanthropy work also makes her an ambassador for Bono’s project RED.

Just to keep current, Christy Turlington, born Jan. 2, 1969, looked pretty damn fabulous in the Fall 2009 YSL ad campaign.
