Back on the NY catwalk at fifty … it’s Christy!

SHE was one of the original supermodels in the Nineties alongside Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, and yesterday Christy Turlington made a spectacular comeback during New York Fashion Week 25 years after retiring from the catwalk. The Californian beauty, who has two children with Hollywood actor Edward Burns, returned to frontline fashion in New York wearing a black feather dress with a matching fascinator and black leather boots. ‘Marc Jacobs invited me to close his beautiful show and I couldn’t resist,’ she explains. ‘I have known and loved this man since I met him at the age of 16. ‘I turned 50 this year and have arrived at a place where “why the F not” is the answer that comes up when I ask myself questions.’
