Aurélie Claudel (born August 7, 1980 in
Saint-Mars-d'Outillé, France) is a French model. She is
one of three children and has two brothers. She comes
from a relatively prominent family (her father was a
distinguished notary). She is a descendant of the famous
French sculptress Camille Claudel.
At the young age of 13, Aurelie was approached about
modeling by a man named Dawn Wolfe, who had seen her in
the Jardin des Plantes park in Paris. In spite of her
father's objections, Aurelie followed her heart. It was
a gamble that paid off handsomely for Aurelie.
By 18, she was on the cover of a
European edition of Cosmopolitan and her phone hasn't
stopped ringing since. In addition to Cosmopolitan, she
has also been featured in Marie Claire and Vogue, both
in the European and American versions.
She has also strutted numerous catwalks
for most of the designer heavyweights, including Chloe,
Emanuel Ungaro and Gucci, as well as Victoria's Secret.
She also donned a bikini or two in Sports Illustrated's
2001 Swimsuit Edition. Aurelie made an appearance in
Ricky Martin's "Private Emotion" video.
Her ability to shine in front of a camera lens is a feat
that has garnered her the attention of such legendary
photographers as Mario Testino (who photographed Aurelie
in an edition of the Pirelli calendar), Peter Lindbergh
and Steven Meisel (the man behind Madonna's infamous Sex
book).
When she's not in front of the camera,
Aurelie enjoys horseback riding and traveling to
islands. In addition to the ad for Calvin Klein's
"Truth," Aurelie continues to pursue her
modeling career. She will no doubt turn up as the face
of another major campaign very soon.
She's appeared in UK, French, Italian, German and
Australian Vogue, plus Allure magazine, Harper's Bazaar
- twice, Elle, Marie Claire; the list goes on... More
than just a pretty face, Aurelie was also courted by
many a fashion designer to model their work, and soon
she was strutting the catwalk wearing labels such as
Emanuel Ungaro and Gucci, not to mention American's
perennial lingerie favourite - Victoria's Secret. She's
also starred in marketing campaigns for names like Ralph
Lauren, DKNY, Valentino, Chanel, Calvin Klein and Nina
Ricci.
One of her more widely-recognised
appearances includes the female lead in Ricky Martin's
Private Emotion video-clip. Livin' the life, indeed.
She was approached in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris by
Dawn Wolfe at the young age of 13. Her father thoroughly
disapproved of her quitting school and pursuing a career
in modeling but she did it nonetheless.
Claudel appeared as "The Pregnant Model" in an
editorial for the April 2006 edition of US Vogue, called
The Shape Issue. |
