One of the legendary supermodels of the 90s – EU – has died

Supermodel Tatiana Patitz, one of the participants in George Michael’s iconic video “Freedom ’90”, died yesterday at the age of 56, her agent announced.

Patitz was treated for breast cancer for a long time and unfortunately lost the battle.

German-born Patitz was part of the original group of supermodels who changed the fashion world in the late 1980s and early 1990s. She, along with Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and others. turned the notions of beauty and femininity upside down before Kate Moss’s androgynous look took the catwalks by storm.

She first appeared on the catwalk at the age of 17 at a competition in Stockholm, but the real fame caught her after a photo shoot with the legendary Peter Lindbergh, who actually launched her into the heights.

Singer George Michael saw her photo in British Vogue and immediately cast her in the video for “Freedom ’90” alongside Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell. The rest is history. According to Vogue magazine, despite the elite professional company she keeps, Patitz has always seemed separate from other supermodels.

A famous British writer has died“There was a certain element of mystery about Patitz’s beauty, something in the gentle oval of her face and the shape of her eyes that spoke of self-possession and passion,” the magazine wrote.

“Patitz’s charm was feminine and familiar, not that of a wide-eyed young girl, and with her training as an actor, she was a force to be reckoned with,” the article said.

Born in Hamburg, Patitz moved with her mother (Estonian) and father (German) to a small Swedish town at an early age. Her modeling breakthrough came in 1983, when she won a trip to Paris and a fixed-term contract. She later settled in California, where in recent years she has been photographed around her ranch near Santa Barbara with her son Jonah, Vbox7 reports.
