Christy Turlington: I'm not as body-confident anymore

Former supermodel Christy Turlington admits she no longer feels as confident with her body as she did at the height of her career.

The former supermodel - who is best known for representing Calvin Klein from 1987 to 2007 - says her days of starring in raunchy underwear shoots are behind her and claims she no longer feels as body-confident as she did when she was at the height of her career.

She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "You know, I'm 44 years old, I'm not 14. I'm healthy, I haven't done anything to myself, I exercise. But I'm not entirely comfortable with myself in underwear either! Well, I did tell Calvin, with Eternity [fragrance], 'If you name something that and you put me on it, what the hell do you expect?' "

Despite quitting the catwalk to pursue other projects, the brunette still enjoys the occasional shoot and says she appreciates modelling work all the more now.

Christy said: "Now I feel like it's a treat again because I do it so seldom. I can appreciate it in a new way."

The star also discussed her old friend and fellow supermodel Kate Moss' recent comment about her wearing an old fashioned looking twinset.

Christy laughed: "Oh, I thought it was funny! Kate's one of the funniest people I know. And it's true - I've never been afraid of a twinset.

"I think she's talking about when we went to South Africa for this Nelson Mandela charity fashion show. Excuse me, what are you gonna wear, Versace?"
