Biography

Tatjana Patitz was a German model who became one of the original supermodels. Born in Hamburg and raised in Sweden, she entered the Elite Model Look contest in 1983 and placed third, earning a contract that took her to Paris. By 1985 she was working steadily and landed her first major cover for British Vogue. She collaborated with photographer Peter Lindbergh, helping to launch the supermodel era. She worked for American Vogue with photographers such as Irving Penn and Helmut Newton, and in 1990 she appeared in George Michael's music video Freedom! '90 as one of the five models dubbed the Big 5. Named model discovery of the year in 1987, she made her first major film appearance in Rising Sun (1993). She later had television roles and her largest film part in Restraining Order (1999). She continued modeling into the 2010s, fronting a Shiseido campaign, and walked the runway for Etro in 2019.
