This portrait of Claudia Schiffer, one of the world’s most successful models, was taken in New York in 1989. It is part of a series shot by Antoine Verglas very early on in his career for Elle France, featuring the most famous models of the time in the confidential setting of their own apartment.

In late 1989, Schiffer starred in campaigns for Guess. After several other magazine appearances including the cover of British Vogue, Schiffer was selected by Karl Lagerfeld to become the new face of Chanel.

The documentary-like approach mixed with the photographer’s unique personality makes anyone at ease and feels very special, giving this photograph a sense of realism and a uniquely intimate and sensual feel which has become known as the “Verglas Signature”.
