When one thinks of the most beautiful women in the world, one
can not help but to think of Claudia Schiffer. Ms. Schiffer was
born in Rheinberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany, on
August 25th, 1970. At age 17, she dropped her plans to become a
lawyer at her fathers' law firm, after she was discovered by the
head of Metropolitan Model Agency, who signed her. The stunning
blonde haired, blue eyed beauty, standing 5 feet and 11 eleven
inches tall, with measurements of 37, 24, and 36 inches, would
emerge to become one of the greatest supermodels in the
world.
After finishing her degree, Claudia achieved print work success
in France, where she was a hit, landing the cover of French Elle,
among others. When designer legend Karl Lagerfeld chose her to
become the new face of Chanel, her supermodel status was firmly
cemented world wide. Her fame grew more great, thanks to the
massive campaign as the Guess? girl, which made her the object of
desire for young men and boys around the world. She was now a
mere age 19. Her famous look helped launch Guess? in to a more
famous brand as much as the brand helped catapult Claudia with
more fame. Contracts with Revlon, runway shows for the biggest
designers in the world, and over 500 more magazine covers
followed.
After conquering the modeling world, Claudia went on to make
appearances in a number of respectable films, including Richie
Rich, Love Actually, and Zoolander. In addition to more work on
T.V. and music video, she also released four exercise videos
which achieved best seller status. With her associates, models
Elle MacPherson, Naomi Campbell, and Christy Turlington, Claudia
Schiffer opened the legendary restaurant chain, Fashion Cafe. She
made more fame, after nearly marrying one of the wealthiest entertainers
in the world, billionaire illusionist David Copperfield. She later married movie
producer Matthew Vaughn, with whom she had two children.
The hobbies of this smart, talented, and amazingly beautiful top
model include painting, tennis, snow skiing, and riding horses,
among more. Claudia also tells us that she is currently working
on launching her own fashion line, which will include cashmeres
and handbags for starters. Ranked one of the wealthiest German
women of all time, she is treated with great reverence in her
homeland.
She didn't set out to become famous, or even a model, but this
once shy girl known as Claudia Schiffer admits that modeling
helped her get over being timid. With her timeless look, the
world can be thankful this star succeeded in her goals. Claudia
Schiffer is for certain, one of the Top 10 Hottest Models of our
time. Creative, brave, and beautiful, she is one of the greatest
fashion icons in the world.
