Liya Kebede & Christy Turlington Burns: The Role Models
Liya Kebede and Christy Turlington Burns are Women of the Year because… "It's maddening that women are dying for no good reason. When women like Christy and Liya get organized on their behalf, things change."
Around the world approximately 800 women die of childbirth-related causes every day. In 2003 Christy Turlington Burns could have been one of them: While giving birth to her daughter, Grace, she suffered a hemorrhage that, had she not received treatment, might have ended tragically. Growing up in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Liya Kebede witnessed that tragic outcome far too often: "When a woman was pregnant, I knew there was a huge risk that she might die."
Turlington Burns and Kebede share, on the surface, a career—as two of the world's most celebrated models. (The Metropolitan Museum of Art once called Turlington Burns the Face of the 20th Century, and at 44, she's still modeling for Calvin Klein Underwear; Kebede, 35, has graced the cover of American Vogue three times and is a face of L'Oréal.) But they are also mothers (each of a son and a daughter), advocates, and change agents. In our conversation, both spoke pas- sionately about the work they're doing in tandem to make motherhood safer for women everywhere.
Turlington Burns founded Every Mother Counts, which helps vulnerable women around the world have safer births. "This really is her life's work," says husband Edward Burns. "And 13 years in, I know that if Christy says she's going to do something, it happens."
Kebede, a former World Health Organization ambassador for maternal and child health, started the Liya Kebede Foundation to support maternal health care throughout Ethiopia, and the results are impressive: In one health center she supports, hospital deliveries increased more than 50 percent in one year, proving that if resources are available, women will use them. "I can say that she is saving lives—confidently," notes her agent and friend Kyle Hagler.
In my travels, I have seen how daunting this issue can be. But as Dr. Helene D. Gayle, president of the nonprofit CARE, says, "When women like Christy and Liya invest themselves, they make the world safer for women and children. It's that simple—and that remarkable."

Our 2013 Women of the Year Honorees and Presenters Share Their Life Mottos
"Get involved. It's a privilege."
It was all about the girl power in New York City on Monday night, as a special group of supermodels, musicians, Hollywood stars and political activists gathered for the 23rd annual Glamour Women of the Year Awards. Hosted by Seth Myers at the famed Carnegie Hall, the event paid tribute to a total of thirteen awe-inspiring women last night, including Lady Gaga, Malala Yousafzai, Barbra Streisand and models-turned philanthropists Christy Turlington and Liya Kebede.
While well-known for their impressive modeling careers— Christy was one of the first supermodels to come out of the ’90s and continues to front Calvin Klein campaigns today, while Liya is the current face of L’Oreal— the two supermodel-mothers also have a shared passion for women’s’ healthcare in common. Dedicated to improving the lives and quality of living for mothers around the world, Christy and Liya have used their star power and drive to establish their own international foundations: Every Mother Counts and the Liya Kebede Foundation respectively. Through Every Mother Counts, Christy dedicates her time to helping vulnerable women have safer births, while Liya looks to support maternal health care throughout Ethiopia on behalf of her foundation.

Diane von Furstenberg, Vogue, and Shopbop Launch Campaign to Eradicate HIV Transmission
Tonight, CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg, Shopbop, an Amazon fashion site, and Vogue launched BORNFREE, a campaign to eradicate the transmission of HIV from mother to baby by the end of 2015. John Megrue, CEO of Apax Partners US, announced the initiative at von Furstenberg’s Meatpacking District studio to a crowd that included United States Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power, Georgina Chapman, Keren Craig, Vera Wang, Pamela Love, John Demsey, Dr. Lisa Airan, Condola Rashad, and Jenna Lyons. "We have the research, the tools, and the moral capacity, we just need to put them to use," said Power. "And get everyone else to do the same."
As part of the campaign, 23 designers (and mothers), including Donna Karan, Carolina Herrera, Tory Burch, Sarah Burton, Miuccia Prada, Victoria Beckham, Stella McCartney, and Donatella Versace, have created a limited-edition collection of women’s and children’s clothing and accessories, available this spring exclusively on Shopbop.com. The pieces will incorporate two prints by renowned Kenyan artist Wangechi Mutu that were commissioned for BORNFREE, and 100 percent of the proceeds will go directly to sub-Saharan countries that need the funds the most. In a film produced explicitly for the project, von Furstenberg summed up the issue: "We already have the solution, we just need to scream it. It's the very beginning of the end of HIV."
