The History of the Modeling Industry

If you grew up in the 80s and 90s like Jen and Carolyn, then you know how iconic supermodels were. Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss-these were the women who represented feminine perfection. Oh, and don’t get us started on male models like Tyson Beckford, Fabio Lanzoni, and Jason Lewis. Hot times, my friends. But they were also dark times and, as we delve into the history of modeling, you’ll learn that darkness has been an ever present theme in this industry. Join Jen and Carolyn as they walk the historical catwalk starting with the early days of modeling and landing smack dab in the middle of the current state of the industry. Work!
