SUPERMODEL STEPHANIE SEYMOUR ON THE BEACHES : THROUGH THE DECADES...

Last fall, Vanity Fair magazine had the brilliant idea of rewriting fashion history by bringing together the 21 most famous supermodels from the 1950s to the 1990s. The photo shoot featured big names, especially those who made a name for themselves in the 1990s, a decade considered to be the golden age of the fashion industry, with great designers or brands such as : Versace, Chanel, Lagerfeld, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and Ralp Lauren.

Vanity Fair's guests for this dreamy photo shoot include supermodels Iman, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer and Stephanie Seymour, true super stars of the 1980s and 1990s, whose fame went beyond the realm of fashion.

The photos taken by Luigi and Iango for Vanity Fair show these G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) in their best light, and prove that, even in their fifties, they have lost none of their talent and beauty.

Through the years, some of these supermodels have lauched their own clothing lines or their parfumes. This is the case of Stephanie Seymour. In 2017, she founded the lingerie line RAVEN & SPARROW line which features high end vintage inspired pieces designed for comfort, ranging from camisoles and rompers, to silk robes and nightgowns.

In fact, Seymour has a personal collection of original vintage clothing amassed throughout her career that spans four decades. It is a part of her net worth estimated at 110 million US dollars.

The little Stephanie already wanted to become a model when she was only five year old. She was born in San Diego, California, on July 23, 1968. At the age of 14, she was hired by the modeling agency ELITE and fell in love with her boss John Casablancas, 42, who was married to model Jeanette Christiansen.

It was the early beginning of a rather tumultuous love life that led her to spend time in the arms of guitarist Tommy Andrews (1989 to 1990, with whom she had a child), Warren Beatty, Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose (1991 to 1993), and business man Peter Brant, whom she married in 1995 before filing for divorce in 2009.

At the time, her husband blamed her for having problems with drug and alcohol use. Finally, the divorce petition was canceled, Seymour reconcile with him in 2010. She had three children with Brant, who already had five from a previous marriage.

Stephanie Seymour has starred in a few films (Pollock, 2000) or TV series (Crazy, an episode of Law & Order : Criminal Intent, 2002). She appeared in major fashion magazines such as : Vogue, Sports Illustrated, and Vanity Fair.

Seymour once caused a scandal by posing nude for PLAYBOY (1991 and 1993), and Vogue (1992). She repeated the experience for INTERVIEW (2013) and LOVE (2017).

Stephanie was one of the first angels for VICTORIA'S SECRET in 1997. The previous year, it was the prestigious brand ESTÉE LAUDER that made her its new face.

In 2021, she had the pain of losing her son Harry, who died of an accidental drug overdose. She's struggled to get over it and says her grandchildren (her husband's, and her first son Dylan's whom she had with Tommy Andrews) helped her through it.

Stephanie Seymour has worn a lot of clothes from top brands, including lingerie and swimsuits. Here's a sneak peek at her looks on the beaches when she has posed for magazines or when papparazzi photographed her when she was on vacation...
