Apple TV+ gave PEOPLE a sneak peek at its upcoming four-part docuseries Super modelsin which Cindy Crawford reveals how she moved from her small town in Illinois to the glamorous catwalks of New York and Milan.
“I never even thought about modeling,” Crawford, 57, admitted in the 25-second clip, which opens with a photo of the supermodel from the 1980s when she was just starting her career.
“I didn’t even know it was a real job. I didn’t know how I was going to get from DeKalb, Illinois to a magazine,” said Crawford as she sat in a white director’s chair, dressed casually in a black dress and matching leather jacket.
The clip then cuts to footage of Crawford doing commercial work in the 80s. “My dad really didn’t understand that modeling was a real career,” she said. “He thought modeling was another name for prostitution. So they came with me to my first modeling appointment.”
“The Super Models” will premiere on Apple TV+ on September 20.

“Already a force in their own right, the gravitas they achieved by teaming up transcended the industry itself,” it added. “Their prestige was so incredible that it allowed the four of them to transcend the brands they represented, making the names Naomi, Cindy, Linda and Christy as prominent as the designers who styled them. Today, the four supermodels remain at the forefront of culture through activism, philanthropy and business courage.”

In 1990, the models featured in the documentary also starred in George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90” music video, which Evangelista said British Vogue she did not want to participate. “George was instrumental in getting me together for the video – a video I didn’t want to do,” she revealed. “But when I was here, it was fun. I’d be sorry if I didn’t do it.”
Super models will premiere globally on September 20 on Apple TV+.
