It only takes 15 to 20 days’ work a year for Christy Turlington to maintain her title as the world’s best-loved supermodel – one she’s held for nearly 30 years. With fashion’s ongoing appetite for older faces, the ravishing 43-year-old is still the industry’s paragon of beauty. But modelling is just a side project for Christy, also known as Christy Turlington Burns. She devotes her other 345 days to realising the United Nations’ commitment to improving maternal health through her charity, Every Mother Counts. Based in New York since her days in the notorious Ford Models townhouse, Christy loves Twitter and has been known to post 15 tweets in a day.
