Since a photographer discovered Christie Brinkley when she was studying art in Paris, she has been one of the most recognized faces in the world.
Appearing on more than 500-magazine covers worldwide, photographed in more than 30 countries and on six continents, Brinkley is noted for her Sports Illustrated photos, where she was the first model to appear on the cover for three consecutive years, as well as holding the longest running contract with cosmetics giant Covergirl.
This summer, Brinkley will host the Social Life Magazine St. Barth’s Gala in the Hamptons, as well as being featured as the July cover model. In her recent Social Life interview, Christie talks with Lizabeth Zindel about her bucket list, her love for animals, what makes her laugh, and more.
On her bucket list:
“I want to drive across America and sail around Greece and Sicily. I want to see the Aurora Borealis and the icebergs before they disappear. I want to speak fluent Italian and learn to dance hip hop,”
On what makes her laugh:
“My kids and friends, my puppies, music, trying to dance, SNL, Stephen Colbert, and trying to yodel always cracks me up.”
On her love for animals and her work with “Hands Off Our Elephant”
“We were looking for elephants to be in the background of our Sports Illustrated Swimsuit pictures when we suddenly broke through some bushes, and I found myself eye to eye with a surprised and angry mother protecting her baby. She raised her trunk and trumpeted a warning! If I had large ears, I would have flapped them back at her [but] we clapped our car doors to show that we meant business too! We were two moms willing to die to protect our babies. I knew from that day forward I would always love and try to do my part to protect this matriarchal society of loving, intelligent, majestic animals.”

Fashion is one of those rare things that allows you to say everything without speaking a single word. Designer shoes are just a form of this unspoken sartorial communication, but its one so subtle that only other sneakerheads are likely to pick up on it. And its this understated luxury that makes tennis shoes so appealingat least to us. Over the years with the release of exclusive collaborations, limited-edition lines and one-off collections that sell out in mere minutes, its easy to see how collectors can drop thousands of dollars on sneakers. But there are plenty of designer kicks that cost just as much, if not more, then pre-owned, special-edition Jordans. The only difference is you dont have to spend months on resale sites trying to hunt down your preferred size, color and brand. Here are the most expensive kicks you can still own. None of these bad boys have sold outyet.
