Claudia Schiffer says that new models trying to make it in the industry face much tougher competition than she ever did.
The 43-year old supermodel was a huge hit during the 90s thanks to her long legs and gorgeous blonde hair. And she believes that she and her friends like Eva Herizogova and Helena Christensen dominated the industry.
She told Britain’s Marie Claire magazine: We dominated because it was all about fashion models then. Actors and singers weren’t in campaigns or on the covers of fashion magazines.
"I do think girls are coming through, but there's so much more competition these days and so many more collections. A model can be successful for two seasons and then gone."
In the interview, Claudia also spoke about the industry as a whole and the fact it’s missing its former ‘flair’.
The supermodel misses the eccentric glamour of her 90s heyday and believes models, magazine editors and photographers are less creative and spontaneous these days.
She said: "There were a lot more personalities in the 90s - wonderfully creative, no boundaries, that Isabella Blow craziness. The flair of the 90s is missing now.
"The difference is that today it's very professional, people don't want to waste time and are always thinking about the budget. Back then, it was more theatrical, there was champagne everywhere, everyone hung out. On shoots, someone would open a bottle of red wine at lunch."
