She wasn\u2019t scouted or discovered, famously willing her way into fashion while boldly approaching modeling agencies herself until one finally said yes. As a quintessential \u201990s supermodel celebrated back then for her androgynous look, McMenamy\u2019s formidable presence and iconic imagery cemented her legendary status in fashion. Whether shot by Richard Avedon in Atelier Versace or walking for Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, McMenamy\u2019s presence has shaped the visual codes of high fashion for over three decades. She also doesn\u2019t shy away from a controversial image, whether drowning in oil for a viral Vogue Italia Meisel shoot or stripping down for fashion\u2019s visual provocateur Juergen Teller. Through it all, she has approached life with authentic candor, humor, and a few candid truths along the way (including a cheeky aside about still not getting that Met Ball invite.) \u201cI\u2019ve got to just go out there and even if I make a mistake, I have to own it.\u201d In the latest video lensed by <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/kloss-films\">Kloss Films<\/a> and shot in the intimate setting of her London home, the <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/rankings\/ui\/Legends\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Models.com legend<\/a> offers a peek into her personal wardrobe, walking us through her favorite pieces and the storied legacy they represent.<\/p>\n<div class=\"introcredits\">\nEditor in Chief: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/stephan-moskovic\">Stephan Moskovic<\/a><br \/>\nEditorial Director and Interviewer: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/irene-ojo-felix\">Irene Ojo-Felix<\/a><br \/>\nDirector &#038; Video Editor: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/kloss-films\">Kloss Films<\/a><br \/>\nManaging Editor: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/sasha-grinblat\">Sasha Grinblat<\/a><br \/>\nDOP: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/martiguiver\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Marti Guiver <\/a><br \/>\nGaffer: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/eddiethedop\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Edward Melbourne<\/a><br \/>\nSpecial Projects: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tomhrdn\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Hardern<\/a><br \/>\nHair: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/patrick-wilson\">Patrick Wilson<\/a><br \/>\nMakeup: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sultz\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tash Sultana<\/a> for <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/isamaya\">Isamaya Beauty<\/a><br \/>\nSpecial Thanks: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/The-Lions\">The Lions<\/a> and <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/christopher-michael\">Christopher Michael<\/a> at Egos &#038; Icons\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kristen McMenamy Is Still Fashion\u2019s Most Fearless Muse Kristen McMenamy has never played by fashion\u2019s rules\u2014and that\u2019s exactly why she\u2019s rewritten them.
