DUSSELDORF, Aug 20 — The German supermodel will take visitors of Düsseldorf’s Kunstpalast museum on a personal journey through the fashion industry in the forthcoming exhibition “Fashion Photography From the 1990s.”

Also featured in the exhibition will be moving images, music and never-before-seen memorabilia from the supermodel’s own private archive, allowing visitors to catch a glimpse behind the scenes of legendary fashion shows and afterparties of that decade. 

“The 80s was when I fell in love with fashion, but the 90s was when I learnt what fashion really was. It was an intense and amazing time that had not been seen before, when shoots lasted for days and fashion was front-page news for weeks. Myself, and the other supermodels lived and breathed it and for the first time we realized together, we had the power to make change,” Schiffer said in a statement. 

“Fashion Photography From the 1990s” will be on view from March 4 through June 13, 2021 at the Kunstpalast museum in Düsseldorf, where Schiffer was notably discovered by a modelling agent at the local nightclub Checker’s in 1987. 

“I am delighted that we have been able to get Claudia Schiffer to curate an exhibition about the fashion world of the 90s. With this show, Germany’s most successful model — whose career began in Düsseldorf — will reflect in a very personal way an era that set standards to this day,” Felix Krämer, General Director of the Kunstpalast, noted. — AFP-Relaxnews
