Vogue editor Anna Wintour mentioned that Tatjana was one of her favorite models. In the 1980s and 1990s, she was in high demand both on the catwalks and as a photo model. Her pictures often appeared on the covers of the world’s most famous fashion magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Vogue.

Cheryl also developed her own clothing line which was very successful: in less than ten years, she earned close to a billion dollars.

Paulina became a model at the age of 13, and in 1988, she signed the biggest contract in the history of the modeling industry (at the time) with Estée Lauder worth 6 million dollars.
