Lately we have been dreaming of nineties layers and there is no one better to personify the look than runway legend Claudia Schiffer.
If you were born in the seventies then you’ll know. Coming of age in the ’90s was fun. It was all ecstasy and dancefloors, teeny tiny miniskirts and low-riding boot-cut jeans. It was Doc Martens and Dickies. And it was the era of the BIG 5; Cindy, Naomi, Christy, Linda, and Claudia. These 5 women launched high fashion to the masses and were more famous than the couture houses that they walked for.
Claudia’s hair though. It is undeniable. She is a literal shining example of how to do layered hair.
