BIOGRAPHY

Aurelie Claudel
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP | BLOG

Aurelie Claudel, born on August 7, 1980, in Saint-Mars-d'Outillé, France, is a French model.

Claudel 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, Claudel 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, Claudel 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.

Claudel 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.

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.
