Christy Turlington: The Model Everyone Respected (And Why)

In this episode of After the Moment, we trace Christy Turlingtons journey from a young horse rider in Northern California to a global fashion icon and, eventually, a dedicated advocate for maternal health. We explore her rapid ascent in the 1980s, her record-breaking partnerships with Calvin Klein and Maybelline, and the savvy business decisions that allowed her to step away from the industry at the height of her fame. And as always we finish the video with a gorgeous runway compilation of some of her best walks.
