The Supermodels reminisce about their early days of modelling Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista unite for the new issue of Interview magazine, recalling the early days of their careers. Interview magazine has dedicated its new model issue to seven Supermodels: Amber Valetta, Christy Turlington, Daria Werbowy, Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Stephanie Seymour. Photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott in semi-naked (and subsequent fully nude glory), each of the Super's accompanying interviews paints a nostalgic picture of when they started out as genetically-blessed youngsters. Take south Londoner Naomi Campbell, who notes how much the modelling world has changed. "When I started out modelling, there weren't casting directors and there weren't stylists, so you just dealt directly with the designer," she says. We were all much closer back then - we had direct communication with each other, and we all hung out when we weren't working. IN PICTURES: Supermodels still going strong Campbell hung out with designers Gianni Versace and Azzedine Alaïa, the latter whom she refers to as 'Papa' because "he basically took me into his home at 16 and told my mother he'd take care of me." Every year she remembers the late Versace by lighting a candle in a church "no matter where I am in the world" on the anniversary of his death. The interviews highlight the camaraderie between the top models during their rise to the top. 43-year-old Campbell considers Kate Moss to be like her little sister, "No matter how old she is - she's going to be 40 next year." Meanwhile Moss credits Naomi, Linda and Christy with showing her the ropes. If I hadn't been with them, I would have been screwed. They really protected me," reveals Moss.

They wanted me to take my clothes off and shoot me naked. It was a nightmare and I panicked and basically the Canadian Embassy helped me out. I was there about two days and went home, saying, 'I don't want anything to do with this ever again'. The Hotel La Louisiane in the 6eme arrondissement in Paris was home to many young models at the time, and the hotel is still trading now. Evangelista was upgraded there by her mother after she got bed bugs at her first hotel in Paris, while Stephanie Seymour, 45, recalls: "Christy, Linda, and I all lived there at the same time. Christy's mother came with her, so she used to have to hide in our room if she got drunk [laughs]. READ: Claudia Schiffer said no to having an Hermès bag named after her Moss recalls how she almost missed her first show for John Galliano because no one backstage knew that she was supposed to be modelling. "All the girls were lined up, and I remember Stéphane Marais said to me, "Are you in the show?" I said, "Yeah." He's like, "Who are you in the show?" I said, "I'm Lolita." He's like, "Oh my god, get her done quick." [laughs] I was just sitting there all day. I'd been there since, like, 10 in the morning. With huge fortunes and archives of designer clothes now under their still-trim belts, it's interesting to hear the less glamorous anecdotes from the seemingly glossy world of modelling.
