Christy Turlington | Smart Sensuality New Model Woman

Christy TurlingtonStyle blog Fashionologie reports on the pervasive trend of Supermodels doing editorial gigs at top magazines. The group featured are all models from the Nineties: Christy Turlington at Marie Claire, Naomi Campbell at British GQ, Stephanie Seymour at Interview and Cindy Crawford at Vanity Fair.

In this latest announcement about Turlington, Marie Claire editor-in-chief Joanna Coles says: “she believes readers will take to Ms. Turlington’s prose because she has lived a relatively regular life off the runway. Ms. Turlington, who is married to actor Ed Burns, is a mother of two young children who recently enrolled in a master’s course on public health at New York’s Columbia University. Ms. Turlington also is an ambassador for the humanitarian group CARE, which lobbies for legislation that would improve maternal health care for mothers across the globe.” (via WSJ)

This short piece sums up the essence of what’s happening here at Anne of Carversville.  We recognize that women can be beautiful, sexy, and smart and care deeply about our Planet and its People.

From Michelle Obama to Angelina Jolie to Christy Turlington, high-profile women are no longer afraid to get their hands, dirty, so to speak.

Jolie is probably the gold standard in this trend, but she has a strong following. We wrote about this spirit in Elan last week. It pervades many high-style young women’s blogs and is not only reflecting a new global economic meltdown.

We refer to it as the rise of the Cultural Creatives, in opposition to the Moderns. While both groups have pure core identities, it’s the hybrid Modern woman with Cultural Creative values, who is the most interesting woman of all. She’s the new Style Setter, the woman to emulate, whatever her age.

Clearly, this New Woman needs a name. Whatever shall we call her? Followup: She became the Smart Sensuality woman.
