Model Claudia Schiffer fashionin

Model Claudia Schiffer arrives on the red carpet for the screening of the film This …

German supermodel Claudia Schiffer launched her first cashmere collection during Haute Couture fashion week in Paris with the hope of creating a lasting brand that she could pass on to her children.

The Chanel muse said she has been thinking of getting into fashion design for years and had finally decided to start with the kinds of clothes she wore all the time as a working mom such as cashmere dresses and sweaters.

Model Claudia Schiffer "I am always very busy, I have a family life... I want to wear the same outfit when I bring my children to school and then go to work with it and in the evening I want to be able to just change accessories," Schiffer told Reuters at the launch of the Claudia Schiffer clothing line in trendy Paris boutique Colette.

Schiffer's collection included long tube black and navy blue dresses, grey oversized cardigans and cable-knit sweaters costing from 250 to 500 euros.

Schiffer, who lives in Britain, is married to film producer Matthew Vaughn with whom she has three children.

While creating her brand was a "dream come true," the model acknowledged history was full of celebrities who had gone into fashion. For some, such as former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, the venture has been a success, while others have proved disastrous such as U.S. actress Lindsay Lohan at Emanuel Ungaro.

"I don't want this to be a celebrity line. It is meant to be a lasting business not a quick celebrity licensing line," Schiffer said.

Schiffer said she was on a steep learning curve and admitted she still had much to learn as a designer.

She said "I want the product to live without my name so that it does not really need me. As a company, I hope it builds up over time so that one day, hopefully, I can hand it over to my children."

The model created a joint-venture with the German maker of luxury cashmere sweaters Iris von Arnim. She invested her personal funds in the company of which she owns half.

Valentin von Arnim, managing director of Iris von Arnim, said the retail strategy of the Claudia Schiffer brand was to sell to retailers in given cities on an exclusivity basis.

For example, Colette in Paris, Harvey Nichols in Britain and Hong Kong, Boutique 1 in Dubai, Beirut, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, The Corner Berlin in Germany.

Arnim said the sweaters had been bought by about 50 stores worldwide and would also be on sale next week at online retailer net-a-porter, now controlled by luxury group Richemont.

Initially spotted for her resemblance to Brigitte Bardot, Claudia Schiffer began her career in the late 1980s and quickly joined the supermodel elite alongside Linda Evangelista, Elle Macpherson, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell.

Having appeared on the cover of more than 500 magazines, she is one of the world's most successful and most enduring of the supermodels with a fortune estimated at more than $50 million.

Having recently featured in Yves Saint Laurent, Salvatore Ferragamo ads, Schiffer is now in campaigns for L'Oreal make-up and Chanel sunglasses.

She said wished to pursue her modeling career for as long as she could: "I will continue modeling until they don't want me anymore basically because I do love it very much."

Prince William and Kate

Britain's Prince William and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, visit a fire-devastated …

Britain's Prince William and Kate took a side visit on their royal newlyweds' tour of Canada on last day to visit Slave Lake, Alberta, which was devastated by wildfires in the spring.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge toured a severely damaged part of the northern Alberta town, where burned out shells of buildings are all that are left following the May 16 inferno.

Maybe more than a third of the structures in the town of 7,000 people went up in flames.

William and Kate met for about an hour at a nearby college with residents who lost their homes. Then they greeted some of the thousands of royal-watchers who descended on the town.

The couple is due to attend festivities at the Calgary Stampede on Thursday and Friday before ending their Canadian tour and heading to California.

They maybe ending visit of Canada in Friday.They did not announce ther next tour.

Mariah Carey's Upcoming Show

The casting for the upcoming show of the X Factor has been a bit of a roller-coaster ride and it all boils down to a big game of Simon Says. Creator Simon cowell Simon has got his eye on making Mariah Carey Mariah a new, permanent member of his team. Back in April it was said that Carey would have a small part in the U.S. show premiering in September. Her pregnancy prevented her from being cast as judge on the show, but now that she's no longer pregnant they make be looking to nab her for a more substantial role. What would the singer be doing? Originally she was scheduled to mentor contestants for an episode or two, but now it may be for the entire season. A source states, "Now that she has had her babies, it's very possible that she will be involved in some way in the later stages of the show...she has always said she wanted to work with the show, so it's something they will certainly be discussing ideas for soon." Carey has had a highly impressive music career, but is she mentor material? Simon certainly seems to think so saying, "I literally adore her. I love her to bits." That's saying something, especially coming from Mr. Judgmental himself. I hope the world is prepared to handle a bunch of little divas in the making.

The makers of the film have made it clear that they wouldn't do away with the scenes but have assured the actress that they would shoot in an aesthetic manner.
