Claudia Schiffer Goes Unretouched on Magazine Cover

Claudia Schiffer may be more supermum than supermodel these days but she found time to strip off for a rare au natural photoshoot ahead of her 40th birthday.

Posing topless on the front cover of Tank magazine, the German model shows she's still got the same amazing figure which first captivated fashion designers in the late Eighties. In the earthy, unretouched shots, the 39-year-old looks fresh-faced as she lets her true beauty shine through.

The Tank cover shot is reminiscent of Claudia's early modelling days, in which she posed topless in a pair of jeans for Guess. In the provocative shoot photographed by Luis Sanchis, the mother-of-two poses in several shots wearing little but her underwear and a Van Cleef and Arpels necklace.

The magazine shoot is the second time Claudia has appeared topless in recent weeks. She teamed up with fellow Nineties catwalk queen Naomi Campbell and Eva Herzigova to strip off in the adverts for Dolce & Gabbana's new fragrance Anthology.

And despite growing closer to her 40th birthday, Claudia insists she will continue to strip as she ages. Claudia told the Daily Mail's Richard Kay: 'I'm happy to do it.

'I didn't work out, I didn't do anything special for the advert and I wasn't even nervous. Of course, as a model it is normal to be taking your clothes off all the time.

'I wouldn't think I was ever too old to do something like that. I mean, maybe if I was 60 or 70, then yes, I'd stop doing nude shoots, but then I guess it depends who is asking. 'With Mario Testino, for example, who is such a brilliant photographer, you would do anything.'

As she prepares for her 40th next year, Claudia insists she will age gracefully without the aid of surgery or Botox. She said: 'It's poison in my skin and no-one knows the long-term effects. I'm far more scared of that than a wrinkle on my forehead.

'All of my friends are my age and we are all ageing at the same time. We talk about it and moan, but it doesn't bother me.' Her sexy image in the shoot is a far cry from Claudia's appearance yesterday, as she dressed down in jeans and a sweater to join other mum's outside her children's school yesterday.

Later on, she donned a leopard-print dress to attend a Vogue magazine party at Burberry in Bond Street. To see more photos of Claudia, visit Tank magazine's website at www.tankmagazine.com.
