Heidi Klum Then
Heidi Klum is known for a lot of things, including being the first German-born person to model for Victoria’s Secret. Having a hairdresser for a mother put her in the perfect spot to be discovered, which is what happened in 1992. After defeating over 25,000 contestants in the Model 92 contest, she received $300,000 and a modeling contract with Thomas Zeumer.
Not long after her signing the contract, she would appear on the covers of Vogue magazine in France, Germany, Portugal, and Spain. Heidi also collaborated with body painter Joanne Gair and was featured in the book Body Painting, Masterpieces.
