Claudia Schiffer launches fashion line

Supermodel Claudia Schiffer has launched a fashion company in a bid to create a lasting legacy that she can pass on to her children.

"I don't want this to be a celebrity line. It is meant to be a lasting business not a quick celebrity licensing line... I want the product to live without my name so that it does not really need me. As a company, I hope it builds up over time so that one day, hopefully, I can hand it over to my children," dailystar.co.uk quoted her as saying.

The collection inspired by her outfits as a working mother include cashmere clothing.

Claudia Schiffer too shy to ever model on the catwalk again

London, Mar 12 – German model Claudia Schiffer has vowed to never step on the catwalk to model clothes again, and she put it down to the fact that she is “shy”.

Schiffer, 40, also missed out on making an appearance at Paris Fashion Week because she had some last-minute work to do on her debut cashmere collection, which launched this week, also in Paris.

“Nobody believes me but I’m very shy,” the Daily Mail quoted her as telling Vogue. 

“I understood that I had to do it when I was modelling but now, since I don’t have to do it, I’d rather not,” she said.

She admitted to being “much better in small groups of people than on a stage with everybody looking at me”, and she said that no amount of persuasion will change her mind.

“Designers are very clever at trying to persuade me to do it each season and it’s flattering that they do, but nothing would change my mind,” she added. (ANI)
