Supermodels' First Runway Shows-Vintage Supermodel Pictures of Gisele Bundchen,Adriana Lima,Naomi Campbell and More[br]See their stunning catwalk debuts.By Jun 29, 2015 Media Platforms Design Team[br]Even catwalk legends had to start somewhere. Here, a look back at the stunning runway debuts that launched the careers of Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Karlie Kloss, Kendall Jenner, and more.[br]1of 27Gisele Bündchen[br]At the Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 1998 presentation in 1997, and the final catwalk of her career, at Colcci during Sao Paolo Fashion Week in April. Gisele officially called it quits on her long and very lucrative career this past spring—not long after Forbes estimated that the model was earning up to . (We'd say she's set for retirement, no)[br]But back in 1997, a then-17-year-old Bündchen got her big break when she landed a coveted spot in one of Alexander McQueen's theatrical runway presentations. Three years later, she signed with Victoria's Secret, and the rest is history. Media Platforms Design Team[br]2of 27Candice Swanepoel[br]Walking the Tommy Hilfiger Spring/Summer 2006 show in 2005, and on the Victoria's Secret runway in 2014 .[br]We barely even recognize baby-faced Swanepoel as she makes her runway debut at Tommy Hilfiger in 2005![br]The then-16-year-old would sign with Victoria's Secret two years later, launching a career that's still going strong.[br]3of 27Adriana Lima[br]Walking the Rygy show at Sao Paolo Fashion Week in January 2000 , and at the Balmain Fall/Winter 2015 presentation earlier this year. Few models have straddled the line between commercial and high fashion as expertly as Adriana Lima. After debuting at an Anna Sui show during New York Fashion Week in 1997 (at just 16 years old), Lima signed with Victoria's Secret in 1999 and had her first major runway season the next year.[br]4of 27Cara Delevingne[br]At the Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2013 presentation, and the Chanel Fall/Winter 2015 show earlier this year. She may already be swapping modeling for acting, but Cara's two-year catwalk career was explosive enough to launch her to mono-name status (thanks in part, of course, to those Brows). Given her close friendship with Karl Lagerfeld, however, we wouldn't be surprised to see her take a few more spins on the Chanel runway.[br]5of 27Chanel Iman[br]Walking the Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2007 catwalk in 2006, and the Oscar de la Renta Spring/Summer 2014 presentation in 2013 .[br]With a name like Chanel Iman, how can you not make a splash in the fashion industry[br]The then-16-year-old did just that after nabbing third place in Ford Models' Supermodel of the World contest in 2006, promptly walking several runway shows in her debut season thereafter.[br]6of 27Cindy Crawford[br]In 1990 at the Donna Karan Spring/Summer 1991 show, and walking the Esteban Cortezar Spring/Summer 2004 presentation in 2003. You can't hear the word "supermodel"without immediately thinking of Crawford, who first got started in the late '80s. But it looks like , might be next up for the fam in the modeling biz. Media Platforms Design Team[br]7of 27Coco Rocha[br]At the Christian Lacroix Spring/Summer 2007 haute couture presentation in 2006, and walking the Jean-Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 2014 show in 2013. We should have known Rocha was destined for greatness when, at 17 years old, she graced the catwalk for the first time by opening Christian Lacroix's haute couture show. Now famous for a classic and dramatic approach to walking and posing, Rocha added "Mom"to her resume this year when she gave birth to a little girl, Ioni, in March.[br]8of 27Crystal Renn[br]In 2005 at the Jean-Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 2006 presentation, and at the Cushnie et Ochs Fall/Winter 2015 show earlier this year. Before making a drop-dead- gorgeous debut as a full-figured model for Jean-Paul Gaultier's runway show in 2005, Renn struggled as a young straight-sized model in the industry—something she recounts in painful detail in her memoir, Hungry . The fact that her size is now secondary to her talent shows how much of a trailblazer she is.[br]9of 27Agyness Deyn[br]At the Paul Smith show in 2004 , and the Giles Spring/Summer 2011 show in 2010. Known best for her androgynous look and crop of platinum hair, Deyn brought some much-needed edge to the catwalk during the era when babydoll-faces like Gemma Ward and Lily Cole were the look to beat. After making her debut in London, the It Brit established herself across the pond when she walked into the New York offices of DNA Models...[br]and was signed on the spot.[br]10of 27Jourdan Dunn[br]At Marc Jacobs' Fall/Winter 2007 presentation, and walking the Balmain Fall/Winter 2015 show earlier this year. Now one of an established group of It models (and friends) that includes Joan Smalls and Karlie Kloss, Dunn debuted at Marc Jacobs in 2007.[br]11of 27Linda Evangelista[br]Walking for Calvin Klein in 1989, and in Dior's Fall/Winter 2008 Haute Couture presentation. One of the most iconic names of the original supermodel era, Evangelista launched her career at age 19 in 1984. Nowadays, she doesn't frequent the runway too often, except for occasional cameos like this Dior couture show in 2008.[br]12of 27Walking the Prada Spring / Summer 2004 show, and the Ellery Fall/Winter 2015 runway earlier this year. "Doll-like"was the look of the mid-aughts, and Ward led the movement after bursting on the scene in 2003. At just 15 years old, she scored a Prada runway exclusive and then a coveted place in their campaign.[br]13of 27Gigi Hadid[br]At the Desigual Fall/Winter 2014 fashion show, and walking Sonia Rykiel Fall/Winter 2015 earlier this year. In just a little more than a year, Hadid has skyrocketed from reality TV teen to model of the moment.[br]14of 27Iman[br]At the Michael Vollbracht show in 1981, and announcing the "Strut: The Fashionable Mom"presentation in 2012. The Somalian-born icon hasn't been seen catwalking since she retired from modeling in 1989—unless it's for special events like this mother-geared runway show she organized in 2012.[br]15of 27Joan Smalls[br]At the Rachel Roy Spring/Summer 2008 Presentation in 2007, and at the Chanel Fall/Winter 2015 show earlier this year. Now a Victoria's Secret Angel and a household name, Smalls looks exactly the same as she did at 19 during her first New York Fashion Week season.[br]16of 27Kate Moss[br]At a Ralph Lauren presentation in 1993 , and the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2013 show. After a now-iconic photoshoot with Corinne Day for The Face put her on the map at 16 years old, a very sexy campaign with Calvin Klein 'Obsession' made Moss the face of heroin-chic in the early '90s. ( captures a behind-the-scenes look at one of her very first shows with John Galliano in 1990.) 25 years later, she still makes a runway appearance on occasion—often for good friend Marc Jacobs, as with his final collection for Louis Vuitton in 2013, shown above. Media Platforms Design Team[br]17of 27Kendall Jenner[br]In 2011 at the Sherri Hill Spring/Summer 2012 presentation, and walking for Dosso Dossi in June in Turkey .[br]It's very hard to "keep up"with Jenner's lightning-paced career these days. In addition to walking for every major label, she can now add contracts with Estée Lauder and Calvin Klein to her ever-growing resume.[br]18of 27Karlie Kloss[br]Walking the 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall/Winter 2008 show, and at the Elie Saab Fall/Winter 2015 show earlier this year. At only 22, it's hard to believe that Karlie Kloss has such an illustrious career under her belt. Then again, she was just 15 when she walked 31 shows during during the Fall/Winter 2008 season—an incredible debut that in retrospect predicted the fame that was to come. Now, aside from the occasional big-name catwalk, her duties as a Victoria's Secret Angel and plans to attend NYU in the fall keep her pretty busy—as does her friendship with Taylor Swift.[br]19of 27Doutzen Kroes[br]At the Oscar de la Renta Fall/Winter 2005 presentation, and the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show late last year. It usually takes Victoria's Secret Angels some time to earn their wings, but Kroes signed with the brand in late 2004 immediately after moving to New York City from Holland at 19. She made her runway debut during the Fall/Winter 2005 season a few months later.[br]20of 27Lara Stone[br]At the Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2007 presentation in 2006, and walking for the Chanel Metiers d'Art Collection in Salzburg late last year. The Dutch beauty has built a platform for herself about motherhood's intersection (or prior lack thereof) with the modeling industry, but back in 2006, she was fresh on her New York City debut with a Calvin Klein exclusive. (And things come full circle: She now has a major print contract with the brand as well.)[br]21of 27Lily Cole[br]In 2003 during Anna Sui's Spring/Summer 2004 presentation, and at the Vivienne Westwood Red Lapel Spring/Summer 2014 show in 2003. Just before Gemma Ward made her major debut, the similarly doll-faced Cole walked her first runway for Anna Sui at just 15 years old.[br]22of 27Liu Wen[br]Walking the Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2008 presentation, and the H&M Fall/Winter 2016 show in March. One of the industry's highest paid faces (thanks to big-money campaigns ranging from H&M to Victoria's Secret), Chinese-born Wen got her start during the Fall/Winter 2008 show season at barely 20 years old.[br]23of 27Miranda Kerr[br]At the Heatherette Fall/Winter 2005 show, and the Sonia Rykiel Spring/Summer 2015 show in September last year. Nowadays, Miranda Kerr is a household name, but she was just a fresh-faced 21-year-old when she made the move from modeling Australian surfwear to walking New York City catwalks in 2004. (Frequent appearances for then-It brand Heatherette helped put her on the map.)[br]24of 27Naomi Campbell[br]At the Yves Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 1988 presentation in 1987, and closing the Zac Posen Fall/Winter 2015 show earlier this year. Her now decades-long career hit octane levels in 1987 (when she was just 17), but like good friend Kate Moss, Campbell is one of the few original supermodels who still makes cameo appearances fairly frequently. Her latest: Closing Zac Posen's latest presentation in a show-stopping burgundy gown.[br]25of 27Natalia Vodianova[br]At the Tom Ford for Yves Saint Laurent presentation in March 2002, and walking the Givenchy Fall/Winter 2013 show. The Russian beauty got started in the late '90s, but a major gig opening the Yves Saint Laurent presentation in 2002 (at age 20) established her as one of the biggest faces of the decade and beyond. (She's not nicknamed Supernova for nothing.)[br]26of 27Rosie Huntington-Whiteley[br]At the Sari Gueron Spring/Summer 2006 presentation in 2005, and Givenchy Spring/Summer 2015 last year. We can barely recognize the now established actress at just 18, during the season when she began to garner international notice for her show-stopping look.[br]27of 27Stella Tennant[br]In the Yves Saint Laurent Fall/Wnter 1999 presentation, and at the Versace Fall/Winter 2014 show last year. Tennant is an anomaly in an industry that sends teenagers up and down the catwalk; at 44, she's still a runway regular. But then again, it was unconventionality—that is, a punk-centric, androgynous look—that first launched her career in the early '90s.
