Tatjana Patitz
That 1989 image became the cover of the January 1990 issue of British Vogue and heralded the birth of the supermodel.
The five models on the iconic cover were seen by George Michael who asked them to appear in the video for “Freedom 90” and introduced supermodels to MTV audiences globally.
It’s a testament to the rapid rise of the supermodels that Tatjana appeared in a car advert by 1993, not typically a progressive format, along with Linda, Naomi, Christy, and Kate.
A muse to many photographers, including the ground-breaking Peter Lindbergh and Herb Ritts, her piercing eyes captivated designers and the public.
A keen horsewoman, Tatjana had long spoken out about environmental issues and animal welfare, and continued to do so up until her unexpected passing in 2023.
Dipping a toe into acting, with credits including “The Larry Sanders Show” and “Rising Sun” with Sean Connery, Tatjana continued to model, on catwalks for designers such as Chanel & Jean-Paul Gaultier, and in magazines, 30 years on from that famous cover.
