Supermodels Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington have reunited for the front covers of Vogue.

They are set to appear on the September covers of both British and American Vogue, with unique cover images for each publication.

The September cover of British Vogue

The "supers", known for the modelling work they did in the 1980s and 1990s, last appeared on the cover of Vogue together in January 1990.

Talking about the bond they formed, Campbell, 53, told British Vogue: "There was a sisterhood there, defined by caring and loyalty: when one is down you pick the other one up."

She also revealed what it was like to face discrimination in the workplace and said: "Why was it that I was doing the same job as my colleagues and had to take less money?

"Why was I booked for the shows but not the ads? I was not close-mouthed."

Speaking on diversity in the fashion industry, she added: "What's driving me now is seeing that opportunities are being given."

The models looked back on their careers in an accompanying video, discussing "the dawn of the supermodel era".

Turlington, 54, said: "There was something about our early years that really felt very joyful and very celebratory, even though life was certainly not perfect, the business was not perfect, the world was not perfect.

"But when you look back there, is this sense of joyfulness and playfulness."
