Turn the clock back 50 years, and imagine Twiggy herself stepping into these shoe boots on some sunny day in London. ASOS re-creates the mood with a near 5-inch heel stacked beneath a suede-like body and contrasting collar detail, appliqué buttons and sweet bow toe. Classic and refined, this pair tells us winter might not be so bad.

With a Twiggy-eyed wink in black and white, Abbey Lee Kershaw covers the “Dream Big” issue of i-D Magazine. Inside comes a vibe straight from Alice in Wonderland as Abbey complements her 60s swagger with larger-than-life accessories that could only be induced by an “Eat Me” pill. With Richard Bush behind the lens and Sarah Richardson behind the wardrobe, it’s one dream we’d like to step inside.

The 90s began with the biggest names in the business and then they were all but wiped out when 15 year old Kate Moss slouched onto the scene. Like Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton and Penelope Tree (who bears a striking resemblance to Kate) before her, Kate ushered in a new body image for women to aspire to. That image was the definitive shape for the past two decades and only now are we seeing curves reappear on the runway and in advertising. We’re parking this model mobile in the here and now!

The supermodel is that most rare of species: the working model who transcends the runway or the pages of magazines and catalogs to become a part of the popular culture. An ageless beauty whose style and personality make up for any shortcomings in talent, or sanity, or choice in men. I was going to create a Top 10 list of the greatest supers, but then I got to thinking, ‘Hey, Lady (that’s what I call my inner self), everyone knows Naomi, Kate, Christy, Linda and Cindy. But what about the ladies of yore; those catwalk pioneers who paved the way in false eyelashes and broken champagne bottles for the supermodels of today?’ So I dove into the past 50 years of modeling and came out dragging the 25 muses who best defined what it meant to be a supermodel. Grace, beauty, versatility, influence and overall fierceness. Let’s start in the swinging 60s!
