They may be a little older than their successors on the catwalks of the world, but a group of supermodels prove they can still rock and roll in a new photoshoot with Harper's Bazaar.

Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Yasmin Le Bon, Cindy Crawford and Eva Herzigova teamed up for the shoot which sees them transformed into members of Duran Duran.

Each of the five models take a different role in the band, Naomi Campbell, quite predictably, taking pole position as the lead singer.

Leader of the pack: Naomi Campbell takes the lead as Simon Le Bon

Guitar heroes: Yamins Le Bon and Cindy Crawford handle their instruments like seasoned pros

Dressed in a red velvet suit, the 41-year-old wears her hair similar to Mick Jagger in his heyday. In fact, her guise is modeled on that of her model friend Yasmin's husband, Simon Le Bon.


While Cindy Crawford and Yasmin LeBon flank her with their guitars.

Cindy, 45, plays John Taylor in a matching grey pinstripe waistcoat and trousers handling her bass guitar like a seasoned pro.

Likewise Yasmin, 47, holds her guitar with experience wearing an all-black ensemble including a choker around her neck.

At the back Helena Christensen, 42, takes charge of the drums.

Drumming up support: Helena Christensen puts her sticks to work as Roger Taylor

Note perfect: Eva Herzigova wears a fitted white suit for her turn as Nick Rhodes

She plays Roger Taylor and is dressed suitably in all-black like her bandmate Yasmin, this time however with her sleeves rolled up in true rock drummer style.
Youngest of the group at 38, Eva Herzigova works the keyboard as Nick Rhodes, looking great in a fitted white suit.
The five ladies also team up for the magazine's front cover in black Dolce & Gabbana corsets, and prove why they're still highly regarded within the fashion industry, their collective age of 203 no reflection on their modeling capabilities.

The shoot, styled by Vanessa Coyle, was taken in conjunction with a video shoot for Duran Duran's new single Girl Panic - which also stars the five supermodels.

Directed by Jonas Ackerlund, who also directed Lady Gaga's Paparazzi and Telephone (featuring Beyoncé) and Christina Aguilera's 2011 single Moves Like Jagger.

The shoot took place back in June, when they were also joined by designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

During the course of the shoot, editor of Harper's Bazaar Lucy Yeomans tweeted: 'Longest, latest Bazaar shoot in history. Didn't start on cover til 1am & got home at 4, but utterly worth it. One more day to go...'

And later: 'This has to have been one of the most extraordinary days of my life. A little bit of fashion history made!"

She added: 'This has to have been one of the most extraordinary days of my life. A little bit of fashion history made!'

The video for Girl Panic is expected to be serialized virally online before premiering in whole later this year.

Full feature appears in the December issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK, on sale Thursday 3rd November.
