Back in September, the couple showed fans what life as a supermodel looks like in the Apple TV+ docuseries, Super models. Across four episodes, Campbell, Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista gave fans a peek into their lives in the industry.

“My sisters Christy, Linda, Cindy and I are beyond thrilled to share our story with the world,” Campbell wrote in an October post about the series. “We hope that our journey seen in the documentaries will encourage, motivate and inspire young people around the world.”

The four women also executive produced the limited series, which was first announced in October 2020 — years ahead of its September 2023 release. They were also on the cover Vogue and British Voguefashion issues of that same month.

“So excited to reunite with @cindycrawford, @naomi, @lindaevangelista for the September cover of @voguemagazine @britishvogue who have played a huge role in each of our careers since the beginning,” Turlington said of the covers on her Instagram. “Being on set together again brought back so many fun memories.
