Subject of large argument in alt.supermodels regarding disparaging
comments from J-P Gaultier, Jil Sander, Ellen Von Unwerth. Fans and
critics took sides and shot up the place. She's still Claudia, but
the fickle fashion press seems to be tired of her.
Even Ellen Von Unwerth has admitted Claudia is not as much a "model".
Claudia is a "look" If she changes it, she is not what "Claudia" is.
Outside that, don't underestimate a girl who was at the top of her class,
and on the road to becoming an attorney when she was discovered. She
speaks several languages, and was raised well by her father, who is a very
successful attorney, and her mother. Money is not that new, nor important.
Fiance David made $33 million last year. They could both retire at will.

She is having a documentary filmed about her life, and will probably be

Seymour, Stephanie
Height: 5'10" [1.78m]
Bust-waist-hips: 34B-22-35 [86-56-89 cm]
Dress size: 6-8
Hair color: Light Brown
Eye color: Blue-Green
Shoe size: 10
Agency: IT
Born: Aug 1968 in San Diego California, USA
Stephanie Seymour has modeled swimsuits for Sports Illustrated, and
was also the primary spokesmodel for Victoria's Secret Catalogue.
She has done at least two pictorials for Playboy; the first in
March 1991, the second in February 1993. Was going with Axl Rose,
the rock star, but broke up in early '93. Rumored to be seeing
Peter Brant, Publisher: Interview mag, who is married with five kids.
She has a son, Dylan Thomas. Lying about her age, probably 30+.
Told Cosmo that she was 25, back in 1989 (+5 = 30) Still is
everyone's favorite Lingerie model. Shows up in the CD-ROM game
"HELL" as "Cynna Stone" explosives expert. Game uses her voice.
From her photographs, I have assumed that she has breast implants.
With the low amount of body fat she has, her breasts could not be that
firm or large without some silicone support. Check Victoria's Secret
to decide for yourself.
contributed text: (not yet paraphrased)
Former supermodel of the 80's, She was the favorite of designer Gianni
Versace. Then she dissed her image and changed it to grunge when she
began a relationship with rocker Axl Rose. The demise of that
relationship, together with the birth of her second son, and the
supposed impending marriage this summer to publisher Peter Brant (the
father of the child), has turned her career into high gear. Voted
this year by Paris's MATCH Magazine as the 2nd most beautiful model
in the world (Claudia was 1st), that makes her the world's sexiest
mom. Not bad for a model who started her career 10 years ago (age 16,
when she was reported to be having an affair with
John Casablancas, the CEO of ELITE Modeling).
[As you can see, there is some doubt as to her correct age. If someone
can dig this up and set this issue to rest, I would appreciate it.]
Shepard, Cybil
Height: 5'9" (175 cm)
Former model, actress. Best known for her roles in "The Last
Picture Show", "Taxi Driver", and the TV series "Moonlighting". In
the 70's, she so defined the image of icy coldness, that the role
in Taxi Driver was written with her in mind. Now starring in her own
sitcom "Cybil" on CBS.

Amber's ambition is to be America's #1 pin-up girl. She is

of Amber" she says.
(February, July 1994 SI Calendar)
"This Rita Hayworth look-alike from Miami comes by her modeling
talent naturally, following in her mother's footsteps.
Independent, hard-working and very private, Amber takes every
assignment seriously and has an instinct for graceful movement
before the camera. Away from the modeling scene she jogs, sings
and enthusiastically pursues acting, which has already brought her
an HBO film role and a number of commercials." [Jule Campbell, SI]
