German supermodel Claudia Schiffer has decided to quit the runway and launch her own clothing line. Following the footsteps of fellow supermodels Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford the 39 years old beauty is now all set to launch her own fashion line and enjoy the show from the front row rather than doing a catwalk. I have been approached so many times over the last 20 years but it has never been the right time. Now, I would consider it but it would have to be the right thing. They would need to be clothes that I would want to wear, Schiffer confirmed to the sources. I have finished with the catwalk and not miss it, she was reported in media. Of late Claudia Schiffer and designer Karl Lagerfeld two of the most recognized personalities in the fashion world, were in Argentina for a photo shoot for Chanel. Both were invited by the Argentine model Ivan de Pineda. The shoot was delayed due to climatic conditions. Ultimately, this was done a few weeks after the supermodel announced her retirement from the catwalk. According to sources, Schiffer informed that she will not get on the runway though she will continue to work in fashion.
The interesting part is, not long after she was first discovered; many people thought she would never be more than a catalogue queen, as outlined by Aline Soulier’s memories of Claudia’s first shoot. However surprisingly, during her hay-days, Claudia was arguably one of the most recognizable faces in the early-to-mid 1990s. Also, the supermodel holds the record for the top model with the highest number of magazine covers. Yes, the German babe has been featured on more than 900 magazine covers. But despite this, her raw beauty shone through and she will forever be remembered as the ’90s it girl. Now all eyes are glued to her new fashion line that promises to be as chic and the chick herself.
