In this episode of Model Moment, we look at the calculated risks that defined Nadja Auermann’s career. From her breakout in George Michael’s “Too Funky” video to the transformation that fast-tracked her into fashion history. We explore her transition from the leading supermodel of her time to her quiet retreat from the runway in the early 2000s.
