Claudia Schiffer is the "good girl" of the fashion industry
Claudia Schiffer was born on August 25, 1970. Surprisingly, this beautiful German woman often struggled with shyness and nervousness, but despite this, she won world recognition. She is one of the main supermodels and icons of the 90s, and during her career she became the face of many fashion houses. But what is behind the flashy cameras and sparkling outfits? How did the “good girl” in the fashion industry manage to stay on top for so long and what is her life like today?
The unsurpassed Claudia Schiffer is married to a successful film producer, owns her own business empire and still impresses with her good looks. The blond German woman admits that she does not want to look or feel younger, but simply enjoys life and herself.
The blond beauty first came into the spotlight at a party in one of the nightclubs in Dusseldorf when she was 17 years old. Despite the fact that success was chasing the young German on the heels, the girl was tormented by doubts about her modeling career. When she arrived in Paris, she was afraid that she would disappoint the public and be sent back home.
Claudia soon became one of the most sought-after models of the 90s. She walked the shows of Chanel, Versace and Yves Saint Laurent, and also became the face of the Guess Jeans brand. The beauty appeared on more than 1,000 magazine covers, but constantly struggled with embarrassment, being in the rays of glory.
The supermodel admitted that she was often nervous before the shows. She had to tune in for a long time and convince herself to go to the podium.
Despite many temptations in the fashion world, Claudia has always been a "good girl". She was not addicted to alcohol or drugs. Brought up in a decent family, the girl did not even suspect that often everyone in the studio, except for her, was high. Beauty never lost control of herself.
However, the conservative German soon became a sex symbol thanks to her seductive looks. Fans were thrilled at the sight of the blonde with a stunning figure, and the paparazzi hunted her, making holes in the walls to take the treasured shots. Security was always present at every show with the participation of a super blonde.
At the peak of her popularity, Claudia Schiffer was forced to hire a security guard specifically to guard her underwear. It often happened that while the blonde was defiling on the catwalk, someone was stealing her bra or panties.
When the supermodel turned 23, she fell in love with the illusionist David Copperfield. He was 13 years older, and she played the role of his assistant on stage. Their relationship lasted 5 years. David lived in New York and Claudia lived in Monaco. Eventually, the couple separated in 1999.
Soon the beauty met film producer Matthew Vaughn, and in 2002 the lovers got married. Claudia says that she found in her wife everything she was looking for in men. He just blew her away.
The supermodel decided to leave the catwalk and focus on the family. The couple have three children: Caspar, 20, Clementine, 18, and Cosima, 13. Now the star couple lives in a huge mansion in Suffolk.
Despite the fact that the state of Claudia Schiffer is 45 million pounds, she is not going to stop there. The beauty starred in several comedies, launched her own lines of cosmetics and ceramics, and also signed a partnership agreement with the Aquazzura shoe brand. Last year, she produced Elton John's biopic Rocketman under the name Claudia Vaughn and the spy comedy King's Man Begins under the direction of her husband.
Claudia Schiffer says a career in the fashion world helped her get out of her shell. The podium became a kind of therapy for her. Here the shy girl learned to communicate and interact with people.
In 2019, the supermodel returned to the fashion industry, taking part in a candid photo shoot for the Italian edition of Vogue. In 2020, she graced the cover of the Russian version of Vogue. The beauty still looks as amazing as in the prime of her modeling career.
Once a German woman shared the secret of her luxurious curls. She uses beer to strengthen her hair and give it shine. In addition, the beauty uses men's skin care products, including scrubs and peels.
Despite her eternal youth and beauty, Claudia Schiffer is delighted that a new generation of supermodels is dominating the catwalk. She says that you should not return to the past, but you need to enjoy a new stage in life.
When it comes to flawless catwalk looks, genes are everything. The new generation of fashion queens confirms that beauty, grace and charisma are inherited. Here are the most successful models who followed the example of their moms.
