The former muse of designer Karl Lagerfeld (1933-2019) gave small insights into their family life three years ago. She answered the question of whether her three children are allowed to emulate her mother and get into the model business: “We would always encourage our children to follow their dreams.” She and her husband, film producer Matthew Vaight (53), have “deliberately tried to enable them as normal childhood.” Because: “Having me as a mother is a double -edged sword – you can learn from my experience, but you are also examined more closely.”

With her British husband, whom she married in 2002, and her three children Caspar, Clementine (20) and Cosima (14) she has lived in England for many years, in a country house in the county of Suffolk. In the 1990s, she was one of the most famous models worldwide, no longer going to the door without anyone recognizing her. “It was crazy. As if you were a rock star” ,.

Today she enjoys her calm life in the country – and the British humor: “I even picked up a kind of English humor who has already brought me into difficulty with my German friends who did not understand British sarcasm,” reported shipper from the daily newspaper.
