Research on fashion Icons, Now and then in Germany





"ANITA Pallenberg is everywhere. Open any magazine and there she is, looking out at you through that dirty blonde fringe, the tease with the fox-fur jacket (Dolce and Gabbana) and floppy hat pulled down over kohl-rimmed eyes (Marni). This winter the look that's emerged as the frontrunner is straight out of the German actress, model and Rolling Stone muse's late Sixties wardrobe: skinny cords, tasselled hipster belts, chunky fur jackets. She was the inspiration for Bella Freud's last winter collection, "And now I use her as a reference point all the time," says Freud."

Heidi Klum was born in Bergisch Gladbach, a small city near Cologne, Germany, in 1973. Her career as a top fashion model and swimsuit star began almost by accident when, on a lark, she submitted photos to a model competition hosted by Petra, a young woman's magazine. Klum won the competition, and signed with Metropolitan, the German modeling agency. After modeling in Europe for a few years to great success, she went to the United States to pursue modeling there, and met with more success, culminating in her relationship with Victoria's Secret. This brought her to the pinnacle of modeling and, in 1998, the coveted cover of Sports Illustrated's annual Swimsuit Issue, cementing her status as one of the world's top models. Along with that came lucrative marketing opportunities, including her own signature lines of sandals, jewelry, and perfume.
