When it comes to supermodels, everyone is familiar with it, but many people don't know that the concept of "supermodel" was first born in the 90s of the last century, and the first models with sky-high remuneration began to appear in this era.
Among the first supermodels, it is necessary to mention one of Germany's top models, Claudia Schiffer, who recently celebrated her 51st birthday.
The French are extremely fond of the German model because she looks like Brigitte Bardot, a French star of the fifties.
Claudia was born on August 25, 1970, to a high-society family in Düsseldorf, Germany.
As the eldest child in the family, Claudia enjoyed playing tennis, painting and riding horses, and according to her plan, she was supposed to inherit her father's business when she grew up, study law and take over her father's law firm.
Unfortunately, after Claudia went to a nightclub, she has since embarked on the road of no return for a supermodel.
In 1987, Claudia, then 17, went to a nightclub to play, and while playing, she was favored by the owner of a modeling agency.
The boss graciously invited her to Paris to shoot a blockbuster, and the young Claudia was not timid, saying that she would go away, and accidentally appeared on the cover of the French fashion magazine Elle.
After only a year in the industry, Claudia was replaced by Karl Berger, the most influential fashion designer in Paris, known as "Lafayette". Karl Lagerfeld became the royal model of Lafayette and the model of Chanel.
Because Claudia was having a good time in the French fashion industry, the French media even helped her make a small calculation: Claudia made about $120 million as a model.
She has photographed more than 700 copies of fashion magazine covers alone, and in addition to being Chanel's model, she is also the darling of designers such as Gianni Versace, Ralph Lauren and Yves Saint Laurent.
In addition, Claudia has also endorsed big names such as Versace, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana.
As early as 1995, the French media Paris Match had passionately commented: "the most beautiful woman in the world". In addition, People magazine also passionately praised: one of the world's 50 most beautiful people.
However, Claudia's relationship did not go as smoothly as her career.
In 1993, Claudia met her first husband, American magician David Copperfield, at a dinner party in Berlin. Just a year later, the two became engaged. After another 4 years, the two announced their breakup.
For this marriage, some people say that these two people are just contract couples, using each other's fame to hype.
By 2002, Claudia married British director Matthew Vaughn and had three children. It was also because of this marriage that Claudia decided to retire for the sake of her family.
Recently, Claudia said in an interview with the French media that in addition to being the advertising spokesperson for chanel J12 watches, she also cooperates with a French fashion brand: "I like the cool daily French aesthetic, so it is natural to work with French brands. ”
It is worth noting that Claudia is not only loved by the French fashion industry, but also in Portugal next door.
In Portugal, Claudia's brands are mainly glassware and ceramics.
Although 51 years old, Claudia says she's not afraid to get old:
"I get a lot of compliments, these are good memories, but you can't always be praise in your life, and sometimes you have to forget the past to move on. For me, it's normal to let go, I don't envy the younger generation and I'm not afraid to get old. Each age has a unique beauty for each age. ”
According to the News of the French Media, in the next month, Claudia will make a comeback in the French fashion industry, so, are you looking forward to it?
