Nadja Auermann (
born March 19, 1971) is a supermodel and actress from
Berlin, Germany.
She is
best known for her
record breaking
long legs.
Auermann was
born to two
bankers in
West Berlin, Germany, who divorced when
She was
young. Nonetheless,
she had a
happy childhood. In 1984, her older sister suggested she begin thinking about modeling in order to
cash in on her
legs, which were unusually
long for a 13-year old. In 1989, she left school with the equivalent of a Higher School Certificate with the intention to work for a few years as a waitress while she decided what to do with her life. That was until another woman recommended she begin modeling. She arrived in
Paris in 1990, unsuccessfully signing with Karins Modeling
Agency in the same year. In 1991, she signed with
Elite Model Management. Nadja landed modeling gigs, but it wasn't until she bleached her hair
platinum blonde for a prêt-à -
porter collection that her career took off. Everyone from
Harper's Bazaar to
Vogue came crawling, as both magazines featured portfolios on the "it" girl in modeling. By 1994, Nadja (now donning a cropped haircut) was
the model for
runways and
magazine photo spreads. This was
made clear with a 26-page Neiman
Marcus shoot in Harper's Bazaar and consecutive Vogue photo shoots in 1994. She had her picture taken for French Vogue, in addition to appearing in
Benetton clothing advertisements. Nadja has modeled for Versace, and she appeared in their classic ad photo in miniskirts
along with
Christy Turlington,
Claudia Schiffer,
Cindy Crawford, and
Stephanie Seymour. In the following years, she was photographed by super-shooter
Ellen von Unwerth and appeared in and on the covers of numerous magazines. In 1997, she had her first child with Olaf Björn, a daughter called Cosima. Two years later, she married German
actor Wolfram Grandezka. The couple welcomed their first son, Nicolas, the same year and divorced a few years later.
