Forget fashion’s face of the moment Agyness Deyn ... the supermodels of the Nineties still reign supreme it seems.
Naomi Campbell is fronting a campaign for Yves Saint Laurent and Claudia Schiffer has been chosen as the face of Chanel’s Autumn/Winter collection.
The German-born beauty launched her career more than 20 years ago and is still one of the world’s most successful models.
Comeback: Claudia Schiffer has been chosen as the face of Chanel
‘I have a new campaign for Chanel coming out at the end of July,’ Claudia, 37, tells me.
‘I love working with Chanel as they also use younger models which is so important to keep the fashion industry developing and growing.’
However, Claudia, who last week launched the new Calleija jewellery store in London, acknowledged that it is hard for young models to emulate her success.

She said: ‘It’s extremely difficult for them to make a name for themselves today.
‘Supermodels have been around since the early Nineties and until the new wave comes along it’s going to be very difficult for anyone else to make it big.’
