Did Claudia Schiffer Predict Her Own Hermes Bag? A Look Back at a Supermodel's Prophecy

A recent social media post by user 'ideservecouture' has brought to light a curious anecdote from the fashion world involving supermodel Claudia Schiffer and luxury brand Hermes. The video references an old interview from Elle UK where prominent supermodels were asked to offer advice to their 17-year-old selves. Naomi Campbell advised to "Always trust your instinct," while Niki Taylor suggested, "Be still...and truly know what that means." However, it was Claudia Schiffer's response that has garnered attention. Schiffer reportedly predicted that in five years' time, Hermes would approach her to name a bag after her, following the precedent set by the iconic Kelly and Birkin bags. She advised her younger self to "Ignore your agents and say yes." While Hermes has not officially named a bag after Claudia Schiffer to date, this historical tidbit offers a glimpse into the confidence and foresight of one of the most influential figures in fashion during her prime.
