Christy Turlington

Brunel firmly established himself as one of the fashion industry's top players in the 1980s when working as a scout at the Caron Models Agency in the French capital.

He claims to have launched the careers of Jerry Hall, Angie Everhart, and Christy Turlington, some of the most popular models of the era.

Fame for his lively parties.

Yeah, lively parties, huh? It was such a one evening in September 1991 that Tissier Huisman, then aged 18, began feeling lightheaded after being given a drink by Brunel.

Yeah, it was, it was such a fun, we worked r- really hard.

Like, you really worked hard, and we all, but we all believed it in so much, and it was such a great, crazy time, and you would just, yeah, it was like, I, I became friends with Christy Turlington.

We're still friends to this day, but that's all through, all through Eden.

Oh, my God.

Right.

So he had posters of Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, and Claudia Schiffer all over his room.

Right,

because most teenagers don't have the Princess of Wales for a mother.

So one afternoon, Prince William comes home from school, totally oblivious, walks into his house, and his mother has secretly invited Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, and Claudia Schiffer over.

So.

The literal supermodels from his posters are just standing in his hallway waiting to surprise him.

The images that were fed though, they've really have changed over the last, 30, 20, 10 years, because even growing up, I'm thinking of all the 90s models that were my refrigerator inspiration, meaning I'd cut the magazines out and paste them on my refrigerator and think like, one day I'm going to look like Kate Moss.

I'll be as skinny as Kate Moss or Christy Turlington or Cindy Crawford, like all of those supermodels back in the 90s.

And yet...

God, he did not make my body that way.

Would we have wanted

Eternity without Ed Burns and Christy Turlington? Oh, Christy Turlington.

Is that who it was? Yes.

Ed Norton.

Burns, Burns.

Yes, yes.

And Christy Turlington.

Would we have wanted, you know, all of these things? Chanel 5.

She was a household name.

Her and Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell had officially become V Supermodels, with a capital S. But...

Linda was also getting a bit of a reputation.

She had uttered the famous line, we don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day.

And the bad press and public criticism were just beginning.

So Linda, Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell are these supermodels.

Yeah.

These supermodels and their income are also inextricably linked to Gianni Versace, who really kicked shit off with his March 91 couture show, which featured Linda, Christy, Naomi, Cindy, Crawford, walking down the runway together, lip syncing the words to Freedom 90.

They were like besties.

Christy, I miss her.

I need to write another book about something.

Maybe I'll lie to her and be like, I have another book just so I could talk to

Remember the time that Scott gave me all the beans? Anyways, so we, when I was learning to make challah and I made all those mistakes, the hardest part was the people who write the cookbook are not necessarily in the room with you when you're making it.

And if you want to ask them a question, it's petrifying.

You're like, oh my God, I'm going to ask Dina Sussman how she makes her like like lasagna for Christy Turlington.

Like, you know, like I was saying, like there's all the, like there's no way to ask these people.
