The German beauty initially wanted to be a lawyer and worked at her father’s law firm until she was discovered in a Dusseldorf night club at age 17 by the head of of Metropolitan Model Agency. She then went on to become the face of Paul Marciano’s Guess? Jeans, and with her gorgeous Brigitte Bardot looks quickly became a worldwide sex symbol.

She would grace the covers of over 1,000 fashion magazines throughout her career. Along with the likes of Cindy Crawford, Naomi Cambell and Linda Evangelista, Claudia becamse what was coined ‘supermodels’ for the women’s dominance over the modeling world throughout the ’90s.
