Tatjana Patitz has now settled into Santa Ynez after spending two decades in front of the camera. German-born but raised in Sweden, Patitz is known for her 100-plus magazine covers as photographer Peter Lindbergh’s muse and for being a key member of the 1980s super-model elite, which included Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell (all of whom were cast in George Michael’s iconic “Freedom” video). While enjoying a slower pace of life in the valley with her young son and menagerie of animals, the 45-year-old stunner demonstrates that beauty and a career can only get better with age.
“I honestly never thought I would still be modeling in my 40s,” says Patitz. “I think it’s great that there is a strong market for real women and that they can have longevity in the fashion business.”Photographs by David Cameron.
