  • “I met Ellen von Unwerth in Paris when I was 17. We were both starting out and got on like a house on fire, just mucking around next to the Centre Pompidou in my own clothes. Cut to the Guess team who saw the pictures and wanted us for the Guess Jeans ad campaign. That was the beginning. . . ”
    —Claudia Schiffer
