Claudia Schiffer is one of the most successful models of our time with more than 1,000 cover spreads.
Beneath the glamor, Claudia Schiffer was lauded as a disciplined professional. The “Ice Queen” maintains her cool at 51.
At the age of 51, the celebrity model symbolizes a bygone fashion era that holds increasing fascination today. Schiffer made her name in an iconic 1989 photoshoot for the Guess fashion brand.
“I never had the urge to be in the spotlight” – she confessed a few months ago in the British edition of Elle fashion magazine.
She was always considered diligent, disciplined — and free of scandal. Unlike the wilder supermodels of the era, like Kate Moss, Schiffer never made headlines for being drunk at after-show parties.
Schiffer retired from the catwalks in her late 20s. In 2018, she once again appeared in a Donatella Versace show together with fellow ’90s supermodels Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Carla Bruni and Helena Christensen.
But the celebrity model still adorns the front pages and continues to be the face of major brands, including Chanel’s J12 watch. Secluded but still busy, she designed her own “Claudia” clothing and accessories collection for a French brand.
Meanwhile, at the Kunstpalast art museum in Dusseldorf, the city where it all began, she is curating an upcoming photography show drawn from her perspective on the dazzling 1990s fashion world.
