Supermodels descend on Lincoln Center to honor beloved friend

If you happened to be passing Lincoln Center mid-afternoon on Tuesday, you might be forgiven for thinking you’d slipped through a time tunnel into 1990, the height of the Supermodel Era. Cindy Crawford, Stephanie Seymour, Christy Turlington, Amber Valletta, and Veronica Webb, electrified the post-lunchtime atmosphere of upper midtown Manhattan, dressed sharply in head-to-toe black with skyscraping heels, in full hair and make-up. It was reminiscent of the George Michael music for “Freedom!” or Gianni Versace’s Fall 1991 runway, and was a far cry from what NYFW had delivered so far.
