I watched this twice. It's amazing how interesting just a camera following someone around can be (witness MTV's "The Real World"). Turlington's stunning beauty and her gracious, sensitive personality help. (She's so beautiful, she could be really nasty and get away with it. But that's she's graceful and sweet only makes her more beautiful. Okay, I admit it, I have a crush on Christie!). "Catwalk" is a slight, but enjoyable documentary.

If you're not into fashion scene, steer clear from this one. If you're into the fashion scene or have a curiosity about the world of the supermodels, you'll luv this. Yes, sometimes it gets a bit dull, but some of the behind the scene footage is incredible. Trust me, it's so worth it! If u can find it, buy it. I got my copy from ebay, and believe me I'm holding on to it!

The video documentary "CATWALK" is way better then it should be. Beautifully shot, great Malcolm Mclauren soundtrack, all the supermodels. This video stars the freakishly beautiful supermodel Christy Turlington and takes place when Supermodels ruled the world and lived the lives of rockstars (witness some lady telling Christy, "We Love you Christy" on the way to a fashion show.

Christy takes us behind the scenes to a life of a supermodel during the fashion weeks in Milan, Paris, and NYC. She takes us to 5 star Hotels, Nightclubs, and house parties with other supermodels.

Ms. Turlington doesnt show any of the darker sides of the modeling industry, which is the only thing missing from this film. But, this documentary is wonderful journey that show us a side of Christy, Naomi Campbell, and Kate Moss that is rarely seen by the public.

CHRISTY TURLINGTON IS WONDERFUL IN THIS BIO OF HER ADVENTURES DURING FASHION WEEK. I PARTICULARLY ENJOYED THE JEAN PAUL GAULTIER AND JOHN GALLIANO COLLECTIONS, PLUS THE CATTY CONVERSATION BETWEEN CHRISTY AND VERONICA WEBB WHENEVER THEY SPOKE(THERE WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING BETWEEN THE LINES). A MUST SEE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN WORKING THE THE INDUSTRY OF "FASHION"

Yes they are overpaid. Yes they are overrated...but then again, who wouldn't give their right arm just to be one of them for a day. Catwalk is an engrossing look at a top model going through one season of shows. It would've been more fascinating if the documentary had focused on some no-name lesser known model fighting her way thru the industry to get recognized...but there are some amazing moments in this documentary - primarily John Galliano's show where the models are reminiscent of Russian Princesses in sweeping ballgowns running down the runway like they are being chased to the sounds of "Ride of the Valkyaries" -- the Malcolm McClaren soundtrack is beautiful (you can buy it - called PARIS) - all in all interesting to sit through, but wish there was a bit more depth to the nitty gritty of the industry - i felt as if it was a bit too romanticized.

A surprisingly watchable documentary. Christie is the Audrey Hepburn of supermodels, with all the graciousness and class and poise that Hepburn had, and so is a treat to watch move and talk and walk in CATWALK. When you have big-headed, sometimes nasty supermodels like Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell annoying the public, it's nice to have a kind Christie Turlington to prove that just because you're beautiful doesn't mean you can't be humble. It's a shame that Christie was diagnosed with emphysema at age 31. She said smoking cigarettes from aged 13 to 26 is probably what brought it on. It's hard to have much sympathy for the rich, famous and beautiful, but my heart does go out to Christie because she seems such a lovely, lovely person in every way, as CATWALK shows.

AMAZING, this movie is definately for those who posess a deep interest for the fashion industry. Weather it be the models, the clothes or the designers you are interested in, this movie caters for all. It is true when they say this movie captures the end of an era. The era of the 'supermodels' has come to an end and 'catwalk' definately captures this classic era.Christy Turlington inspires and captivates veiwers with her stunning looks and enchanting charcter.Catwalk captures the intoxicating auora of the fashion world... i have watched it literally 30 times.

For those with a passion for fashion, this movie is well worth the cost. Also, for anyone interested in the modeling industry, the video provides an excellent portrayl of what life as a model is like.

Should I be embarrased to say I found this documentary completely engrossing? From the initial cover shoot at Versace to the closing shots of Christy T. sitting for a Francisco Clemente portrait (it's haunting and beautiful -- he's the artist that did the artwork for the movie "Great Expectations" BTW), I was glued to this movie. The soundrack includes "St. Germain" by Malcolm McClaren, which I love, during the Paris collections. Many parts are beautifully shot in black and white. Some great moments go by quickly: a really funny exchange between Christy and model Veronica Webb, Kate Moss drunk at a club in Milan, behind the scenes at Galliano ("Think Irving Penn, Irving Penn!!"), ALT commenting on the same collection ("This man HAS NO MONEY!"), Christy eyeballing Naomi's gift flower bouquet at the Georges V ("Is hers bigger than mine?"), the whole documentary is full of great stuff.

I really enjoyed this video. It was like a day in the life of Christy Turlington. Since I am a big fan of Christy's it was very interesting to watch. END
