Claudia Schiffer is one of the world’s biggest beauty icons for a couple of reasons. Since being discovered at age 17, she’s managed to maintain her sterling reputation, resisted the temptation to fall from grace and for those reasons, has remained one of the biggest names in modeling to date.
Having graced over 1,000 magazine covers worldwide and achieving a 99 per cent recognition rate across multiple continents, you could say that Claudia Schiffer is the ultimate beauty and style icon. Her beautiful, long blonde hair is no doubt her signature look and is just as picture perfect now as it was in the 90s.
Claudia also has quite the entrepreneurial side, having dabbled in acting and fashion design, so her recent move into the lab didn’t shock us. Claudia wanted to create a range of products that would successfully cater to every woman’s hair type and deliver perfect, salon-quality results, easily and affordably at home, so she teamed up with Schwarzkopf to create Essence ULTÎME and Blonde ULTÎME.
Check out how Claudia has maintained her position as a true icon over the decades…
