    She is best known for representing Calvin Klein fragrances since 1987. She has also worked on various campaigns for Maybelline Cosmetics and Giorgio Armani, has appeared in several films about the fashion industry and was a co-founder of the now defunct Fashion Café.

    She was discovered by Dennie Cody while horseback riding in Miami, Florida, where her father was working as a training captain for Pan Am.

    During the 1990s, she appeared in Unzipped, a documentary about fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, and the fashion mockumentary film Prêt-à-Porter by famed director Robert Altman. Additionally, she was featured in Catwalk, a documentary about life on the fashion runways by director Robert Leacock.

    Turlington also appeared in two music videos. Fellow model Yasmin Le Bon got her husband Simon LeBon of Duran Duran to feature Turlington in their 'Notorious' video in 1986, as well as the album cover. In 1990, singer George Michael drew inspiration from Peter Lindbergh's January 1990 British Vogue cover (which features Turlington, Campbell, Evangelista, Crawford and Patitz) for his 'Freedom' video. The video featured all top 5 female models along with their top 5 male counterparts, lip-syncing the song.
