The new film about the four first ladies of 80s and 90s modelling shows their industry’s dark side, but its heart is the their genuine bondCindy, Christy, Naomi, Linda. For a generation of women who were teenage girls in the late 1980s and early 90s, these were our Beatles.
It is as if Mount Rushmore came alive and the four presidents began making small talk. In all the years of looking at Linda Evangelista’s face I had never heard her voice, so to hear it – high and squeaky, when I had imagined something wolfish and smoky – blew my mind. Linda in a vast funnel neck sweater and a bucket hat which between them conspire to almost entirely hide her face, showing us the shame and insecurity that surrounds her experiment with cosmetic surgery.The documentary splices video interviews with the women as they are now with archive footage including Linda backstage at a Chanel show and Cindy presenting MTV’s House of Style. Other talking heads are kept to a minimum, which feels right; this is these women telling their own story.
