Biography
Claudia Schiffer is one of the original supermodels of the early 1990s. She gained her popularity and worldwide recognition among men (and women) by appearing in sexy Guess? advertisements in early 1989 and her sultry looks have boosted her recognition internationally.

Born on August 25th 1970, Claudia was raised in Dusseldorf, Germany to a homemaker mom and lawyer dad. As a child growing up, Claudia did not wish to become a model, rather she wanted to be a lawyer and work in her father's successful law firm.

Claudia's aspirations of becoming a successful attorney came to a halt when she went to a nightclub for a night on the town with her friends in October 1987. A modeling agent, Michel Levaton, spotted Claudia and was instantly taken with her. [Full Bio]
