Gisele Bundchen
Quite possibly Brazil's most famous model in history, whilst also holding the title for being the most highest earning model in the entire world. Somethings telling me that maybe...just maybe her record breaking $25 million dollar contract with lingerie giant Victoria's Secret may have just helped her get there. She has also ventured out into acting after making appearances in fashion film - The Devil wears Prada, as well as the film Taxi. Take a look at Bundchen featured in a Lanvin Oxygene fragrance commercial way back in 2001:
Chirsty Turlington
Age 14 was the year that changed this young girl's life after she was discovered by a photographer whilst horse back riding. Understandably, she waited until after she had graduated high school to fully pursue modelling full time, therefore, once she had graduated, she moved to the Fashion's capital - New York City. As her career got higher and higher and she became more respected throughout the Fashion World, she was got named as a "Trinity" member along with Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista. She then went on the grace the covers of FIVE HUNDRED magazines worldwide. You heard me. Most recently, she has extended her career to venture into creating two clothing lines and a skin care line.
Linda Evangelista
Linda Evangelista - IE. the chameleon. She is the queen of change. From hairstyles to her ability to be able to change expressions and characters in front of the camera. Her career first began when she was discovered by an Elite Model Management scout at the 1978 Miss Teen Niagara Beauty Pageant. She then went on to play a gigantic part in helping spark the 'Supermodel' craze in the 80's and 90's. As well as this, who doesn't know the famous phrase she once said to Vogue in 1990? "We don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day." Well don't we all ay! Later on in her career, she went onto sign a contract with L'oreal Paris and featured in their worldwide commercials; take a look at one below!
Heidi Klum
(Get ready for the long list) Heidi Klum is a German model, business women and fashion designer where her jobs include - clothing lines for both men and women, shoe designer, swimsuit designer, one of the designers for Victoria's Secret line "The Body", has her own jewellery collection, two fragrances, designed a makeup line for Victoria's Secret, designed a screen print t-shirt for the 2008 US Open, became Barbie's official ambassador, two lines of maternity clothing, created a line of active women's wear. In addition to this massive list, she is also a television producer as she as she is the host, judge and executive producer of Project Runway and the host, judge and co-producer of Germany's Next Top Model. Furthermore, she is an occasional actress with appearances on CBS television show 'I Get That a Lot'. There is much more i could put into this long list, but I'm pretty sure you get the idea that she has mastered an incredible amount and has well and truly earned her Supermodel status! Her most famous work would most likely be with lingerie giant Victoria's Secret for 13 years and announced the statement: "All good things have to come to an end. I will always love Victoria and never tell her secret. It's been an absolute amazing time!"
Claudia Schiffer
This highly popular Supermodel first burst into the spotlight once she had completed her education and began working as a full time model. One of her first covers that got the Fashion world taking note was when she flew to Paris to shoot for French Elle. This was then followed by staring in the highly published Guess Jeans campaign. From the overwhelming success of the snaps, Schiffer then went onto gracing more major Fashion magazine covers including British Vogue. The was when her Supermodel status quickly sunk in as she was personally selected by the King of Fashion, Karl Lagerfeld to become the new face of Chanel. It seems this blond hair, blue eyed beauty was just destined for greatness!
Kate Moss
Who doesn't know the British Supermodel that is Kate Moss? After being scouted at the airport by the founder of Storm Model Management at the age of 14, she hasn't gone anywhere but up! Her career took off at the age of 16 once she had shot for the British magazine 'The Face', she was named the 'anti-Supermodel in comparison to the 90's Supermodels including Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell to name a few. With a record appearance of gracing the cover of British Vogue 30 times, Moss was promised to have one bright career within the Fashion Industry. Whether that was modelling for some of the most respected Fashion Designers across the globe in both campaigns and their runway shows, to launching a makeup line for cosmetics giant Rimmel London, designing a 'Moss' collection for High Street store Topshop and creating four fragrances, i'm pretty certain she'll still be around for a lot of years to come.

Adriana Lima
It must be a hard life being one of the most famous Victoria's Secret Angels! But that's just what Adriana Lima holds! After winning 'Ford's Supermodel of Brazil' modelling competition at the age of 15, she then went on a year later to finish second in 'Ford's Supermodel of the World'. This was her platform to the Fashion World, and a pretty epic one if i don't say so myself. She went on to sign with Elite Model Management where she appeared in numerous editions internationally in Vogue and Marie Claire magazines. The year 1999 dramatically changed her career as she walked in her first runway show for Victoria's Secret to then receive a contract for an 'Angel' in the year 2000. Within her career for the lingerie giant, Lima got given the honor to open the show four times in the years 2003, 2007, 2008 and 2010, as well as being given the privilege of gracing the catwalk wearing the famous 'Fantasy Bra' which featured thousands of diamonds and comes in at over a million pounds.
Naomi Campbell
Last but by no means least, it's Naomi Campbell! After being scouted at the age of 15, through a lot of hard work and determination, she found herself in the triple threat group of Supermodels in the 80's and 90's. Her first major job was gracing the cover of British Elle just before her 16th birthday which really got the Fashion World's attention, which hasn't disappeared ever since! She became one of the most recognisable and in demand models of their generation. After nearly two decades as a model, Campbell still found herself in demand. In the year 2007, she walked the runway for Dior's sixteenth anniversary fashion show, and found herself on the 'all black' edition of Italian Vogue alongside Liya Kebede, Sessilee Lopez and Jourdan Dunn. It's fair to say...she has quite a few accomplishments under her wing within the crazy fashion world!
