Eva Herzigova: I Was Unbearable to Work With

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models,

Eva Herzigova admits she was "unbearable" to work with at the height of her fame as a supermodel.

The 40-year-old Czech beauty has confessed she was "irritable" and would throw tantrums on shoots as well as display other unpleasant behavior when she was known across the world for her famous "Hello Boys" Wonderbra campaign in the mid-90s.

But Eva insists the only reason she acted like a diva was because she was overworked: "I was unbearable at one point and probably difficult to work with, but it was to do with exhaustion, trying to do too much. Going constantly from one plane to the next, from a fashion show to a photo shoot in a different time zone didn't help matters. I was irritable and had tantrums."

Eva admits to ''losing'' a sense of herself at that time, but maintains she avoided many of the pitfalls of fame and the fashion industry such as drugs. "Losing myself, yes; going off the rails and taking drugs, no. My education has given me a strong will to resist temptations like drugs. They make you feel like the person that you want to be. But it's just an illusion. I used to see people get off their faces, and I was never interested," she explained.

Naomi, Claudia, and Eva Smell and Look Good

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,

Approaching the age of 40 doesn’t stop supermodels Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, and Claudia Schiffer from looking fabulous.

The trio showed up to Milan Fashion Week to promote the Dolce & Gabbana Perfumes Collection, for which they had previously appeared in the D&G Anthology ad campaign.

Turns out that the folks at Dolce & Gabbana went for an androgynous theme—all five scents are not gender specific. In fact, each of them are named after Tarot cards and represented by a different model.

“We chose Claudia, Naomi, and Eva for the iconic value they have in the minds of everybody,” Domenico Dolce said.

“They are icons, not just for young women but older women too. Sometimes they are better known than actresses. People need to create icons, to see people they recognize.” Stefano Gabbana added. I couldn’t agree with them more!

Claudia Schiffer Poses Topless Without Photoshop

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,

In the fight against Photoshop, supermodel Claudia Schiffer definitely threw a mean punch.

Posing topless for Tank magazine in front of photographer Luis Sanchis, Schiffer bears a striking resemblance to her iconic Guess? campaign back in the nineties—all without retouching.

Whatever she does, the near-40 year-old has it going quite well for her. One thing we can rule out? Botox: “It’s poison in my skin and no one knows the long-term effects. I’m far more scared of that than a wrinkle on my forehead.”

But don’t worry about her, much like Evangelline Lilly, Schiffer embraces her age: “All of my friends are my age and we are all aging at the same time. We talk about it and moan, but it doesn’t bother me.”

This isn’t the first campaign at this age that she’s done without clothes, either; the German model starred alongside Naomi Campbell and Eva Herzigova for Dolce & Gabbana’s campaign ad for their Anthology fragrance. According to her, we can count on seeing her shed clothes in the future.
