the year is 1993 or 1994. I was just nine years old and a huge David Copperfield Fan. As soon as I have an appearance of decency in the TV guide, and read that, and begging my parents to “screentime”, as we call it today. I was fascinated by his magic tricks. But one day it was suddenly no longer the magician who fascinated me, but the beautiful woman at his side: long blonde hair, soft, symmetrical facial features, long legs that came in a pink mini dress beautifully. You seemed slightly shy, but still confident, and she had a Smile a beautiful, welcoming. I was blown away.
This was the day that I first heard the name of Claudia Schiffer. A Supermodel! Since my mom wasn’t a Vogue reader, I watched Claudia Schiffers career in the years to mostly just happen in TV reports. The fascination was but never. Such a woman had existed before in Germany: she worked for the biggest designers, flew with Karl Lagerfeld in the Concorde to New York, ran hundreds of miles over the catwalks in Paris, Milan and New York – and she has been on the titles of more than 1000 magazines, photographed by great photographers like Herb Ritts, Ellen von Unwerth, Richard Avedon, Arthur Elgort, and Steven Klein.
Fast forward to the year 2007. Even though it has been four years of success in the fashion industry, I was excited so this Morning in London. It is a Cover shoot for the German “Vogue” on it. This was of course an honor, but it was nothing New for me, since I already had often the good fortune to be with my “home edition” of the most important fashion magazine work. But this day was still something Special. My two Shooting partners were the reason for my great excitement. Two German icons had consented to it, for me some unknown reason, to be together with me to scan. The Supermodels of the nineties: Nadia Auermann and Claudia Schiffer. Wow!

After all these years, I would meet the beautiful Claudia for the first Time and even with your work may It is said that one should not get to know his idols, since this is often a disappointing experience. Also, this idea probably contributed to my nervousness. But my Fears were not confirmed. Quite to the contrary. I was already entered in the Make-up, as Claudia in the Studio. She welcomed all so open and friendly that I was immediately calmed. Then she sat down next to me, and we came into the conversation. It was a very normal and beautiful. It took me all Worried that I didn’t deserve even to be with her and Nadia scanned. Everyone on the Set treated them friendly and with respect.
Claudia Schiffer, one of the most famous German and in all over the world-famous Supermodel, is gorgeous remained, of course. Smart, eloquent, funny, incredibly nice and beautiful. I have enjoyed every Moment behind the camera and in front of the camera with Claudia and Nadia and I will never forget this day. Dear Claudia, I wish You the best in love and Good to your 50.Birthday! May all your wishes and dreams come true!
