Supermodel Eva Herzigova ‘Intimidated’ by Other Supermodels
Eva Herzigova was “intimidated” when she started modelling.
The star began strutting the runway in 1989, with big names in the industry including Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer. When she first started working with them, Eva was incredibly nervous, but soon realised she was being silly.
“It was like a little rat pack, those few girls who did everything: the shows, the editorial, the campaigns,” she explained. “I started modelling in 1989 and it was intimidating. They were accomplished, established and we knew everything about them because everything they did was written about.”
Although fashion is usually thought of as a glamorous industry, it was different when Eva started out. Make-up artists didn’t exist, so she used to apply her own cosmetics before a big show.
“Back then we all did our own make-up. Karen Mulder and Linda Evangelista would sit together and everyone had that Henry Bendel make-up bag with the brown and white stripe,” she laughed to British magazine Vogue. “It was all about shading, with taupe eyeshadow and eyebrows and more, more make-up – more was better.”
