Claudia Schiffer: Nothing Would Get Me Back On The Catwalk

Claudia Schiffer recently revealed that nothing would get her back on the catwalk.

The supermodel told Vogue UK, "Nobody believes me but I'm very shy...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. 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."

Instead of strutting her stuff, Claudia's been spending time designing her debut cashmere collection with German knitwear brand Iris von Arnim.

Take a look at several of her creations and head over to Vogue.co.uk for more. And check out Claudia then & now.

Wait wait "nothing" will compel her to walk 75 yards down a ramp in clothes. Ohhh the tyranny how rotten and evil life is.

I seem to recall back in the 80s when a photo of her showed a weight gain, it was captioned 'elephant terrible'.

Still a very good looking woman, not like the super thin, anorexic type. And she seems to be happily married with the producer of such gems as Snatch, Layer Cake or Kick-Ass, Mathew Vaughn. She has a few kids and enjoys life far away from glamour and celebrity bs. Like Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi do. It is refreshing to see that people are able after their successfull careers to lead a relatively normal life

People always change their tune when they get old and then say they were always that way.

(grin) You betcha -- and they don't lie.

There is some evidence that genetic influences (as opposed to those of our parents, peers, and social groups) on our character traits intensify as we get older. This would suggest, in a way, that as we age, we become more of what we were "meant to be" (roughly and genetically speaking).

Perhaps it is that we come into who we are, and don't give a damn what others think.....parents, peers and social group all push us into who they want us to be.

You must have 55 aliases so you can fan yourself. I can't imagine anyone in their right mind fanning your screaming gibberish.
