Occupation : German model and actress.
Nadja Auermann was born March 19, 1971, in West Berlin, Germany. The daughter of bankers, Nadja didn't initially hope for the glamorous life of a model that she leads today.
Hoping to pursue a career in architecture, furniture design, or even as the chancellor of Germany, her path took an unexpected twist when she was discovered by a modeling scout while sitting in a Berlin café in 1989. The scout wanted Nadja to pose for a travel catalogue, and although she was hand-picked out of a crowd, the beginning of her career was a failure.
In 1991, she signed with Elite Model Management. Nadja landed modeling gigs, but it wasn't until she bleached her hair platinum blonde for a prêt-à-porter collection that her career took off. Everyone from Harper's Bazaar to Vogue came crawling, as both magazines featured portfolios on the "it" girl in modeling. By 1994, Nadja was the model for runways & magazine photo spreads. This was made clear with a 26-page Neiman Marcus shoot in Harper's Bazaar & consecutive Vogue photo shoots in 1994. She had her picture taken for French Vogue, in addition to appearing in Benetton clothing advertisements. Nadja has modeled for Versace, & she appeared in their classic ad photo in miniskirts along with Kristen McMenamy, Christy Turlington, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, & Stephanie Seymour. In the following years, she was photographed by super-shooter Ellen von Unwerth & appeared in & on the covers of numerous magazines. In 1997, she had her first child with Olaf Björn, a daughter called Cosima.
