Claudia Schiffer


Claudia Schiffer was born on 25th August 1970 at Rheinbach, Germany. It can be said that her life can be more interesting than an interesting novel. Claudia was from a small town and had a very limited view about different aspects of life. The year was October 1987. It was a nightclub in Dusseldorf where the director of the Metropolitan model agency Michel Levaton was in a very bad and boring mood. He was staying in Germany for almost two weeks and still he has unable to find some meaningful beautiful girls when suddenly a sweet girl on the dance floor captures his attention. She was Claudia, with a business card in her hand. As he saw her he walked up to her. Claudia had an initial thought that Levaton was trying to pick her up. Levaton was so impressed by her that he took her phone number. They meet again in the next day in a tearoom with Claudia`s mother also present there. Her mother was not in a mood to hear about photos and Paris. She was first interested in her daughter`s completion of studies but due to severe persistance and many phone calls of Levaton Claudia decided to go to Paris to give photo tests. Levaton introduces Claudia to his partner Aline Souliers who was immediately impressed after seeing her charming smile. Claudia gave her first test with photographer Marie-Francoise Prybys in Paris. Then Souliers and Levaton introduced her to the crowd but they got a negative response. Most of the people thought that she looked a bit fatty and also had a babyish look. The said that she will only be a catalog queen and nothing more. It was Friday 4:30 P.M. when there was a meeting fixed with Odile Sarron, casting director of ELLE. When Sarron saw her sarron had an impression that she was heavenly and she booked her right away for the following week which is a very rare achievment for a beginner like her. After two weeks Claudia made her appearance for ELLE and Levaton went on to sign her. Levaton said that he had complete believe in her abilities. They went on to work for her days and nights. The girl was a professional nicely guided by Levaton and others just like her parents. Souliers once said that some girls does all the shows, works on all the ad campaigns because they are good and have good qualities, but they`ll never be able to become stars. Claudia started liking a racing car once Launched by ELLE. All the Italian, the German, and the English newspapers began fighting to capture her. Europe was drowning under the spell of Claudia. America hinted that they wants to make a deal with her but it was too early for Souliers and Levaton. They felt that she must be associated first with some designer's name. Souliers said that Claudia`s look wasn`t all that great at that time but took a chance by sending her files to Chanel. But a surprise was just waiting for them. Karl Lagerfeld, the legendary designer of the Chanel wanted to meet Claudia. It was Claudia`s first show and Souliers spend hours trying to teach her how to walk but was so disappointed with her that Souliers ended up calling Karl to tell him that it was impossible to teach her. But he replied that it did not matter for him as he wanted her to walk as if she was walking on the street. After all this Claudia was ready to spell her magic on the United States. She was introduced first to the American market via Guess, a very young company which is specialized in sportswear and jeans. Claudia then went on to appear simultaneously on 5 magazine covers in the United States and 7 in Europe with the outstanding `Guess` campaign. It all started from there and it is still flowing like an endless river.
