This is actually an interesting question.

If we are talking about actual "supermodels" then Claudia Schiffer takes the crown, since she was always a high fashionmodel working for some of the top designers in the world including Chanel.

She was also internationally well known.

Heidi Klum is really more a "regional" supermodel, who is most famous in the United States because of Swimsuit Illustrated and Victoria Secret, and for her endeavours in television, most recently "Project Runway".

Karl Lagerfeld was interviewed in Germany a few months ago, maybe last year, and during the interview he was asked what he thinks about Heidi Klum... and he was drawing a blank, because he had never heard of her.

That said, I have no experience on a "personal level" with Claudia, but had interaction with Heidi and saw her last at the taping of the final show of "Project Runway" at the Olympus Fashionweek. And from all I can tell, and also the interviews I saw with Heidi is that she is a doll... extremely charming and lighthearted person.

I like her a lot and I think she looks much cuter, but she never had the supermodel status that Claudia Schiffer had.

I would have to say Claudia. I think she's more well known like the others are saying, but personally, I'd kill to look like Claudia, but I wouldn't want to look like Heidi, but that's just me.

My opinion would be Heidi. She is very beautiful, great body, and seems to be fun to be around, which is always good. She doesn't seem stuck-up or anything. Of course I've never met her in person, so...who knows.

Having worked with both Claudia and Heidi(Fashion Cafe, Victoria's Secret/7th on 6th), I would have to say Claudia because of her "Presence" when she walks into a room.  Heidi is cool as hell, but she doesn't command the attention when walking into a room like Claudia.  When Heidi walked on set, she was all friendly and cool and greeted everyone.  When Claudia walked on set, the room was silenced! Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and acknowledged her existance...

Heidi is your friend you wish you had benefits with, Claudia is the woman of your dreams...

Yes, and both of them (and Heidi as well) show b(0)(0)bies, whereas Cladia is just a prude.

Heidi has such natural beauty and Claudia seems to only look good when her eyes are masked with dark make up in my opinion.

Let me also throw Iman in with that list. I know I'm going off-topic and that the OP had a specific criteria in mind, but if you made that contest between Iman and Naomi, I'll take Iman every time.

Maybe I'm just too old-school...

These are not accusations, these are facts.

In Heidi's hay-day she was busted at Heathrow with .5 grams of cocaine in her purse (mid 90's).

Claudia just married a close (but not close enough) heir to the throne of some country.

Might wanna read-up prior to asking redundant questions big_smile

Hey you got me - I tend not to read that much or watch tv preferring to live the life - not sample the soundbites

My guess is that like many of us - as a young man you probably smoked a little grass /weed /herb  ( maybe you still do ) Does that make you a "pothead "

And in your experience - do you know any woman who would marry a poor guy over a rich one ( everything else being equal )

Many top models, with lotsa money did coke in the 90's... wanna guess if Claudia powderd her nose too?

Re: Golddigger... the guy is RELATED to line of counts, but he is NOT in the lineup for a title, EDIT: as explained in the Wikipedia article below... so... she certainly is not oogling at a throne!

Claudia Schiffer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_Schiffer
[...]On May 25, 2002 she married film producer Matthew de Vere Drummond, born as Matthew Vaughn, son of George Albert Harley Drummond (also known as George de Vere Drummond).

It was widely reported at the time of Claudia Schiffer's marriage that one day she could become the Countess of Oxford because her father-in-law was in line of succession to the Earldom of Oxford and Mortimer. She is disqualified on two counts: Matthew's illegitimacy would bar him from any succession and George Harley Drummond is not in line for succession as he is not descended from the male line.
