'The Super Models,' in their own words
A documentary produced by its subject can come off as hagiography. But The Super Models is a corrective produced by women who were rarely given the opportunity to be seen as complete human beings.
The Apple TV+ docuseries will, for some, be an introduction to the very idea of supermodels, who don't exist in the same way they once did. In the '80s and '90s, they were not influencers, they did not have Instagram, and many of them were seen often and heard rarely. Even to people who didn't follow fashion, they were celebrities, but rarely were they fully in charge of their own images.
