The 90s were a time when the 'Supermodel' reigned supreme. Kate Moss had just burst onto the scene, challenging everyone's idea of what a model should be with her flat chest, 'small' stature and 'heroin-chic' bone structure. She had not yet been subjected to the body odour of Pete Doherty, and Naomi Campbell had not yet become infamous for her phone-throwing temper tantrum of 2001.
