From the waist to the heels - 112 cm Back in the 90s, Nadia became the first fashion model, whose legs "hit" in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest. All fashion brands at one time tried to get a beautiful German woman for photography.

From Berlin

This blue-eyed blonde was born in West Berlin in 1971. Her parents were we althy, thanks to her banker father, the family did not need anything. Nadia has an older sister, who sent the future fashion model into the arms of the modeling business.

In 1989, Nadia Auermann left school. For a year she worked as a waitress and thought about what she would do with her life. Then I decided to take a chance and went to Paris.

Paris life

Career, starting with the agency Karins, rapidly went up the hill. Strikingly long beautiful legs Nadia became her hallmark. Her job search as a model brought her to Elite Model Management. In addition to fantastic legs, it was necessary to somehow still be able to excel. She made a beton platinum hair color, repainted, causing a serious outcry, and did not lose. Her hair color brought her success, since then she has never changed it.

And now the glossy covers with her photo finally saw the light! From that moment on, the biography of Nadia Auermann was full of big names: Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Prada - all eminent houses wanted to get a long-legged diva. Nadya took part in the shows of Anna Klein, Prada and many other famous designers. Her dreams gradually came true, she entered into an agreement with Versace. Remember the famous photos of girls in minis with Christy, Cindy, Claudia and Stephanie - the work of the world famous Richard Avedon?

At one time she was the inspiration of Karl Lagerfeld, the brilliant Valentino compared her with none other than Marlene Dietrich. She was invited to work by world celebrities Helmut Newton and Peter Lindbergh, Versace, Prada, Anna Klein, Valentino.

Family and children

In the second half of the 1990s, the modeling business ceased to interest the Aryan beauty. After earning a name and fortune for herself, she abandoned everything without regret, choosing a normal human life. Nadya Auerman gave birth to a child - daughter Cosima from Olaf Bjorn (in 1997), but the marriage did not work out with him. A couple of years later, Nadia gave herself another chance by marrying fellow countryman, actor Wolfram Grandezcu, and she failed again. Having given birth to their son Nicholas in 1999, Nadia and Wolfram decided not to torment each other. The marriage ended.

Cinema, memoirs, life position

FollowingAn example of many models, Nadia released her own perfume of the same name. In the early 2000s, she tried her hand at cinema in the films of her compatriots Dornröschens Leiser Tod (2004) and Letztes Kapitel (2005). Apparently, on this path, too, somehow did not work out.

Model Nadia Auermann, like many Germans, is not flexible and expresses a rather uncompromising position. She was one of the first to oppose the strict rules regarding the parameters of the bodies of girl models. In a word, against excessive thinness. A lot of models, being thin themselves (Nadya's weight hardly reached 55 kg), stand up for a he althy appearance. Who, if not them, understand the complexity of being in the "antibody". Nadia argued her point of view also by the fact that models that are similar one to one, made as "carbon paper", completely lose their face and individuality, becoming uninteresting.

Besides, Nadia sincerely believes that girls should study, go to school, and not jump on the catwalk, at least until the age of 17. This is due to the fact that the image of a young girl, available for frank views, contributes to the flourishing of pedophilia, which is unacceptable for a he althy society.

But Nadia Auerman is the author of her memoirs, in which she describes her life in a very exciting and colorful detail. They are easy to find, they are named simply: "Nadia". They contain not only a storehouse of information about the thorny path of the model, but also a lot of unique photos of the beauty that have not been published before.
