The fashion world mourns the death of Tatjana Patitz, former face of Vogue, considered the first of the so-called "super-models" who had their rise on the catwalks between the eighties and nineties. He was 56 years old.
Raised in Sweden by an Estonian mother and a German father, Patitz began to pose at the age of 17: «She has always been the European symbol of what is chic», said Anne Wintour, historic editor of Vogue, comparing Patitz to «a mix between Romy Schneider and Monica Vitti».
Tatjana, the most reserved of the catwalk divas, hadn't chosen New York, London or Paris as a base, but a ranch in California in the Santa Ynez Valley.
