Born in 1970 in a small town in Germany, the fashion world was not expecting Claudia Schiffer's crazy good looks and winning smile to explode their world forever. From the 90s onwards, she was both the face of Chanel and Guess and a permanent fixture on every teenage boy's bedroom wall, a sizzling blonde beauty whose natural and easygoing charm made her the darling of every world she entered.
Like many supermodels, Claudia never set out to be a multimillionaire and icon of multiple generations. Originally she was set on becoming a lawyer, but a chance sighting of her by an agency head, in a Dusseldorf nightclub, put on her a path that she's never looked back for. More than 1,000 magazine covers later, she's still making us swoon.
