Claudia Schiffer reached the height of her popularity during the 1990s, and along with Cindy, Naomi, Linda and Christy helped define the term supermodel. She was discovered in a nightclub in Düsseldorf, Germany, in 1987, and was hailed as the spitting image of Brigitte Bardot at her most beautiful. Just weeks later she appeared in Elle and within a short time she began modelling for Chanel. 5' 11" tall Claudia still holds the record for the supermodel with the most magazine covers. She has graced over 900.
