Christy Turlington

Christy Turlington Burns (born January 2, 1969) is an American model best known for representing Calvin Klein from 1987 to 2007. She has worked on dozens of modeling contracts with companies including Maybelline Cosmetics and Versace. Turlington starred in her fashion documentary Catwalk and Isaac Mizrahi's Unzipped. She was added on as the fourth model investor, after Elle Macpherson, Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer of the now defunct Fashion Cafes. In 2010 Turlington founded Every Mother Counts (EMC), an advocacy and mobilization campaign to increase education and support for maternal mortality reduction globally. EMC was founded after the completion of Christy's documentary, "No Woman, No Cry"—a film about maternal mortality in Tanzania, Bangladesh, Guatemala, and the United States.
