Born June 1st, 1973, Heidi Klum entered the world in Bergisch
Gladbach, Germany. At 18 years of age, Heidi's friend Karin,
persuaded her to enter a national modeling contest in Germany,
with the chosen winners shown on a top German television show.
She won. Around a year later, she stopped her ongoing study as a
fashion designer, and decided to pursue a career as a model, her
dream job. Not only was she incredibly beautiful, she was smart.
She stayed grounded, got a lawyer, and stayed close to her parents
with the telephone. She learned the ropes in Hamburg, then in
Paris and Milan.
Heidi Klum was 24 before she walked the runway for the first
time, and oh my was it a show! The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
to be precise, which is one of the most press covered shows in
the world. She was now a star. A year later, she becomes the
first German cover girl for the 'Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
Issue' being seen by 55 million. She was now a mega star. She
made more fame when her legs were valued to be insured for nearly
2 million dollars by a London auction house.
She went on to do some acting on the show Spin City, hosting on
Mtv, Entertainment Tonight, and many other shows, and even
singing. With an amazing body, Heidi confesses that she does not
diet. She says that she stays in good shape by getting enough
rest and eating healthy. She also tries to drink plenty of water.
Heidi Klum studied ballet and jazz since she was a young girl,
which she still stays proficient in, taking classes in New York
City, where she resides. Heidi also spends time traveling the
world, spending time with family and friends, skiing, and
painting on large-size canvases. She likes to rock out to one of
Michael Jackson's biggest influences, James Brown, and she also
likes Dido, U2, Nikka Costa, and Moby among more. Her husband,
the amazingly gifted artist known as Seal, of course goes without
question!
Heidi Klum proved further her talent as the host of Project
Runway, which went on to become a phenomenal success, which she
also serves on as Executive Producer. She has had 7 primetime
Emmy Award nominations. Heidi's presence gives the show its
allure, excitement, and credibility. But this amazing woman has
not stopped there, she recently launched her own fashion line of
swimsuits, which are custom made for each person. Having worked
with the biggest photographers in the world, for the biggest ad
campaigns, and having appeared on the biggest magazines ever,
Heidi Klum, standing at 5-9 and a half inches tall, is an expert
on fashion and beauty.
As Heidi herself states, 'who better to design a customized line
of swimsuits than someone who's been in every possible style of
bathing suit in every possible weather condition in every
possible remote location of the world? Trust me girls, I know
what looks great on the beach and what doesn't.' She continues,
'Keep in mind, this isn't a big manufacturing business for me,
far from it. Instead, I'm really interested in craft & design,
and each suit is a true labor of love. That's why you'll find
that the swimsuits are more expensive than ones you may find in
stores, because my suits are made from the finest materials,
(...) Each suit takes a lot of time to create, and is customized
just right for the wearer, so they're special order only.'
Heidi Klum, the legend, is without a doubt one of the Top 10
Hottest Models of our time. Don't miss the rest of our countdown
