The third member of the legendary "Trinity" - the others being her friends Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista - Christy Turlington was every bit the 90s supermodel. Like Niki Taylor, she got started very early, after being spotted by a photographer horse riding in Miami. These days that would get you an arrest warrant, but back then in the 80s, it would net you a superstar.
And what a superstar she was. In the early 80s - between the ages of 14 and 16 - Christy would spend each summer between the school year modelling, and her grounded approach to the art really paid off. She was no diva - she just did her job and let her body do the talking. As a result, she became the favorite and most-requested model of practically all of the designers of the era.
