Nadia Platinum blond hair, ice-blue eyes, and "the longest legs in the western world"—Nadia Auermann (aka Nadja) streaked across the international fashion world of the 1990s like a Teutonic comet, tall, cool and self-assured, with an Amazonian sex appeal and glamour reminiscent of Marlene Dietrich. At the same time, Nadia was arguably the most changeable supermodel of her generation, delighting in metamorphosis. Also, commonly known, as The Blonde Angel.
