Back in black, it’s Christy at 50

SHE was one of the original supermodels in the Nineties alongside Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, and yesterday Christy Turlington made a spectacular comeback 25 years after retiring from the catwalk.

The Californian beauty, who has two children with Hollywood actor Edward Burns, returned to front-line fashion in New York wearing a black feather dress with a matching fascinator and 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.’
