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.

Cindy Crawford, 45, still has her sensational supermodel figure as she slips her curves into a bandage dress for new campaign

She began her career in the early 80's at just 16-years-old.

But almost three decades later, Cindy Crawford proves that she still has her supermodel figure as she poses for a new campaign for Deichman Shoes in the middle of a busy New York street.

The 45-year-old beauty looked stunning as she showed off the sexy curves that made her famous in her heyday, by slipping into an aubergine Herve Leger bandage mini-dress for the shoot on Tuesday.

The brunette stunner paired the frock with a cropped black leather jacket and grey suede lace-up stilettos, and had her long dark hair coiffed into voluminous waves which fell over her shoulders.

Her flawless complexion would be the envy of a woman half her age and she displayed her long, toned legs that only great genetics and a lifetime of workouts could perfect.

Cindy was one of the original supermodels alongside Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, and Christy Turlington who reached the peak of their careers in the early Nineties.

The star recently said she felt sorry for today's models as she thinks it's much harder to be one these days.

She said the girls on the runaway and in magazines are shrinking and haven't got the curves of their predecessors.

'I just saw the CoverGirl commercial with Taylor Swift and I thought, "Wow, it is so hard for models to get a job these days".

'You have to sing and act, too. There doesn't seem to be as much work specifically just for models.

'And I also think when I was modelling, size 6 (UK size 10) was a normal size and now it's like 2 (UK 6) or 0 (UK 4).'

She firmly believes that it is ok to look older, and has forgone using the various fillers and botox available to women these days to slow the ageing process.

'I don't look the same as I did 20 years ago, nor should I. Sometimes I get that little pang, like "Oh, bummer, I wish I did". But at the same time, I see my children and I see them growing up and I look at my husband and the marriage that we've worked on and have together, and if all that is good and working, it's a lot easier to be kind to your little fine lines or where gravity's gotten the better of you.'

Cindy has been married to businessman Rande Gerber for almost 13 years and they have two children, Kaia, nine, and Presley, 11.

In shape: Cindy flaunted her slim toned body in the thigh skimming mini dress and heels

Recently she said she wanted to set a good example to her daughter and make her realise that you don't have to be skinny to be beautiful.

'Having come from the world I come from and you know having to maintain a certain weight for most of my career which fortunately hasn't been too much of a struggle...I don't want my daughter to think, "wow I have to deprive myself in order to be pretty".

'So if we go have ice cream as a family I will order an ice cream. I don't usually eat the whole thing but I don't want her to associate being pretty to being thin. It's really a balance, I can be an example by living it.'
