Perhaps it is unimaginable that the fashion industry is now inseparable from the appearance of this incredible woman. But few people know that the fashion industry can't get Claudia because she initially aspired to be a lawyer.
Karl Lagerfeld's muse was born on August 25, 1970 in Rheinberg, a wealthy suburb of Düsseldorf. His father was a lawyer and his mother Gudren was a housewife. In addition to Claudia, sons Stefan and Andreas and daughter Anna Carolina also grew up in the family. Schiffer lived in isolation, and the head of the family strictly raised the children.
The model is German, this nationality is considered confident and pragmatic in everything. In the biographies of celebrities, there are no black spots, as they write in the media and on the catwalk, in life she does not fall in the literal and figurative sense.
Now it's hard to imagine Claudia being shy and clumsy in her childhood because she was different and complicated from other men. A meeting with the director of the Met's modeling agency at a nightclub in 1987 set the stage for the rapid start of a career as a model. Michel Levaton managed to convince her parents to let a 17-year-old girl go to Paris for a test shoot.
In the fall of 1987, a college friend of Claudia's invited her to his birthday party. In the nightclub where the men celebrated the event, the girl was noticed by the agent "Metropolis". Soon, a contract was signed with the cosmetics company Revlon.
Soon after, a Spanish photographer provided Claudia with photographs taken for World magazine. As a result, in late 1989, Schiffer appeared in a glossy magazine. This moment was a turning point in the fate of a good girl: she firmly decided to become a model. In 1990, the director of the Met's modeling agency invited Claudia Schiffer to move to Paris and start her modeling career. The girl agreed. A few months later, Schiffer worked at the Lagerfeld fashion house.
After that, Claudia's popularity began to grow rapidly. At the same time as the popularity, the status of young models also increased: in the early nineties, Schiffer was the highest-paid model on the planet for several years.
Thanks to Claudia's agent, who carefully selected every commercial offer, Schiffer maintained the image of a fresh, sexy girl who enjoyed every moment of her happy life.
Of course, the girl's beauty has always attracted a large number of fans, but she behaves quite modestly and does not want to become famous. Before she got married, only her two relationships were known. In 1993, the young beauty became engaged to David Copperfield, but this did not lead to a wedding. Sometimes she participates in magicians' shows as an assistant.
Six years later, the young people broke up and freed themselves from their mutual obligations. The reason for the break, which they call a tight work schedule, actually does not allow them to meet. Reporters believe that the relationship between the two stars is a PR action to attract media attention, but David and Claudia flatly deny this, saying they have serious feelings between them.
