"It was insane … it was like being a rock star." This is how Claudia Schiffer (49, "Richie Rich") describes her life at the height of her career in the 1990s. "You couldn't reach your car unless a way was cleared for you," Schiffer reports in the British edition of "Elle". But her fame led to much stranger experiences.
Everywhere people tried to get photos of her and the other supermodels at that time. Some would even have cut holes in tents to snap the models. "We had bodyguards at every fashion show," explains Schiffer. Security personnel were even hired at some point for her underwear. The model laughs: "When I was outside on the runway and came back, my underwear was constantly gone. My bra, my panties … just gone!"
She doesn't mind age
In the meantime, she has no problems with getting older, as Schiffer continues: "In my time, I was given many wonderful compliments." Then you continue to develop. "You don't have to be called beautiful all your life. It's a nice memory, but then the new generation comes and you give up the scepter." She was not jealous or jealous of the youth. The supermodel couldn't imagine anything worse than being offered a magic pill that would make her look like 20 again.
