Birthday, Prestel Verlag published a book (above) the Fashion Highlights of the previous Supermodels. On the Cover: a Nude photograph of the three-fold mother, by Mario Testino in 2007 for Vogue Paris photographed.
Duck, Blondie, ice Queen – all nickname in Spite of Claudia Schiffer with her blue eyes, the wild mane of blond hair and the pouty mouth is one of the top models of the 1990s. Her appearance helped the once-shy young girl from Rheinberg to stardom. They stand for the Haute Couture Label Chanel on the catwalk, represented but also fashion chains like Mango and Accessorize. Your face the title-page of more than 1,000 journals – all in all, a very profitable business, graced with Claudia Schiffer, presumably, to the 51 million Euro earned.
This the face of a woman who worked during the decadent Supermodel Era in the 90s, hard and disciplined, and in their 30-year-old Supermodel’s career is always very own set new standards.
No wonder that the Prestel-Verlag now brings a tribute to the German Supermodel, a 272-page illustrated book with the simple title “Claudia Schiffer”: in it favorite recordings, and Fashion Highlights of the fashion icon, from Schiffer self-selected; the texts are by the companions from the fashion industry, ladies, fashion photographers and designers.
If fairy tales are true
“In the last 30 years, I had the reputation of being a kind of ‘ice Queen’,” says Schiffer in the Preface. “A little cool, professional, and out of the spotlight to always be dominated. “A little hard description, says Schiffer, but “unfair.”
Cooling they had been, in order to get the “shyness”, she explains today. Her fairy tale had begun in 1970 with her, the “ugly duckling” with the “X-legs and cantilever from the rear part of the” how to hänselte in the school.
As Claudia Schiffer, the expression on the Supermodel for the first Time I heard it …. she had to laugh
She was later called in a breath with Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington, have dreamed of to be to Paris and through this Model of burning to show it all. Today, you pinch yourself sometimes to make sure that “everything is just a dream.”
Career in front of and behind the camera
Schiffer excuse in the book for their cool aloofness, in all the years, as if it was going to be a late reparation for their companions in the industry. It emphasizes the joy of the work for the book and thanks to all that were involved in it, the praise and comments to the image band to grace.
The German photographer Ellen von Unwerth made in 1989 for the German edition of “Elle” pictures of Claudia Schiffer and compared the 19-year-old Model – a “healthy German girl with a dazzling Smile,” with Brigitte Bardot.
The Similarity with Brigitte Bardot is not to be overlooked
Your photos of the beginning of a steep career, both for Schiffer as well as for von Unwerth, as she writes in her Foreword to the book. Claudia Schiffer is an important part of your life, the star photographer: “Claudia has brought us unforgettable images. It is and remains a true icon.”
As an “exceptional Venus, the enchants all with her beauty and humanity,” praised the Model of the Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
The “body of a goddess”
The beauty of Claudia Schiffer is praised not only in the accompanying texts, but also in the photographs of Peter Lindbergh, Richard Avedon, Steven Klein, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel and many others. For them, Claudia was always a style icon, write Dolce and Gabbana: “Lush, gold blond, shimmering Curls, eyes as blue as the sea off Sicily, the ancient goddesses is reminiscent of the body statues of attitude.”
Shyness Claudia Schiffer is on the photos of your 30-year-old Model’s career is not noted – at least not in front of the camera, “a place where I felt safe,” as she notes in the Preface to the book.
