German Supermodel Tatjana Patitz No More

Considered one of the "Original Supermodels," Tatjana Patitz died of metastatic breast cancer. The German supermodel, a sweet soul, has gone far too soon.

The quietest yet the most intense of the original supermodels, Tatjana Patitz, has passed away. At the age of her death, she was 56 years old. Her family confirmed that the cause of the death was metastatic breast cancer.

A Vogue model, Tatjana Patitz, landed on many fashion magazine covers in her four decades of career after shooting to fame in the 80s and the 90s. The iconic supermodel was best known for her Vogue work.  In 2019, the son and the mother got a chance to appear in a Tiny Barney portfolio. 

The lady starred in George Michael's "Freedom! 90" music video opposite Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, and Cindy Crawford. Based on a Polaroid, she was placed third by Elite Model Management founder John Casablancas.

Further, Tatjana won a contract and moved to Paris with a limited-time modeling contract. The portrait of the five women is regarded as the cover that sparked the supermodel phenomenon of the 1990s, aiding each woman to attain global appeal.

In a 2020 interview, Patitz said," Patitz was born in Hamburg to a German father and Estonian mother. In 1983,  as a 17-year-old competitive horse rider and tomboy, she stepped into an Elite Model Contest in Stockholm. Success didn't happen overnight, as she had no work for a year.

Furthermore, Mr. Patitz had a long-career working relationship with Patrick Demarchelier, Herb Ritts, and Lindbergh, who shot her on location. Her recent appearances focused on family events. The model was reunited with her friends for "Good Jeans," a supermodels-in-denim story shot by Anne Leibovitz.

One fan wrote," I just saw that Tatiana Patiz died of breast cancer! This is so sad! She was one of those models that were effortlessly cool. I saw her on a photo shoot early in the morning in Soho. It was freezing, it was February, and she was wearing a sheer tank top bra and body suit with sheer leggings.
