AURELIE CLAUDEL FRENCH TOP MODEL

Dear readers of sport&beauty. A couple of days ago I was looking at model pictures when I got impressed by the beauty of one of them. She’s not as famous as Adriana Lima or Bar Refaeli but, as far as beauty is concerned, she has nothing to envy to most of the current top models. Here you are some clues about her identity. She’s French. She’s strutted the catwalk for Gucci, Chanel, Calvin Klein, and Victoria’s Secret and starred in ad campaigns for Calvin Klein, Tommy Hifiger, and Oscar de la Renta amongst others. She appeared in Ricky Martin’s video “Private Emotions” and in the cover of the most important fashion magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Vogue, and Elle. Most probably you already know who she is. Today’s post is going to be dedicated to French model Aurelie Claudel. Here you are Aurelie Claudel. She’s amongst the most beautiful models in the world for my liking.

Born in a wealthy family, Aurelie is the only daughter (she has two brothers) of a distinguished notary and descendiente of the famous French sculptress Camille Claudel. Aurelie’s life changed dramatically when in 1993 at the Paris’ Jardin des Plantes she was approached by Dawn Wolfe, a model agent who tried to persuade her to try her luck in the modeling world. Despite her father’s refusal to allow her to enter the fashion world, she didn’t think about it twice and decided to accept Wolfe’s offer.

Let’s talk about Aurelie Claudel’s modeling career. In February 1997, four years after her lucky discovery, Aurelie made her debut at the New York Fashion Week walking for Calvin Klein, DKNY, Marc Jacobs, and Vivienne Tam’s Fall fashion shows and appearing for the first time in November of the same year in the cover of Cosmopolitan. In 1998, Aurelie was photographed by Mario Testino for “Allure” magazine and in October she graced the cover of Vogue France. In 1999, being already an established model, she was chosen to star in Ricky Martin’s video clip “Private Emotion” (you can see the video clip at the end of this article) and became the face of Chloé’s Spring ad campaign, Chanel cosmetics line and Valentino’s Fall Winter campaign.

Since then, Aurelie has achieved success after success. In the year 2000, the French model walked in Paris for Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix and John Galliano and was chosen the face of Calvin Klein’s “Truth” fragrance. 2001 was one of her best years. Aurelie was photographed by Mario Testino for the famous Pirelli calendar and appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and the Elle fashion magazine. In 2002 she graced the cover of Vogue Italy in four occasions and appeared, together with Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio, in the Victoria’s Secret shoe and accessories catalogue.

When she’s not working in front of the camera, Aurelie spends her free time riding horses and traveling to the islands. Out of curiosity we’ll say that she sports a tattoo on the lower back. We’ll finish today’s post leaving a slideshow with some of her pictures and a video where you can see Aurelie performing alongside Ricky Martin for his video clip “Private Emotion”. Best regards.
