Moments in fashion not real life: Claudia Schiffer

Supermodel Claudia Schiffer says the fashion industry is "not real life" and though it may be "amazing" to be a part of, it is not a true reflection of the world.

The 47-year-old supermodel, who was first signed to Metropolitan Model Agency aged 17, calls herself as a "realistic person", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I'm a quite logical and realistic person and over the years I've learned that these moments in fashion are amazing but they are short and they're not real life," Schiffer told Vogue.com.

The catwalk icon has vowed to "only" work with companies on projects she "loves", which is why she "dips (her) toes in and out" of the business.
