It's about time! Claudia Schiffer, 45, uses her fashion industry know-how to design luxury cashmere range (and models it all herself, of course)
- Former supermodel, 45, designed collection for luxury cashmere label, Tse
- Mother-of-three showcases classic cosy cashmere knits and burgundy skirts
- Explains that she wanted to design clothes to last
She's hailed as one of the original 'supers' and has grown up in the fashion industry, so it's hardly surprising that Claudia Schiffer has turned her hand to designing.
The former supermodel, 45, has unveiled her new collection for luxury cashmere label, Tse - and models it all herself, of course.
The German mother-of-three showcases classic cosy cashmere knits, cable knit cardigans and burgundy skirts in the new campaign shots.

Speaking to Vogue.co.uk about the 18-piece collection, she said: 'I'm trying to apply what I have learned working as a model with the most amazing designers for over 25 years.
'I have not only learned a lot, but also in particular formed many ideas of my own.'
The model explains that she wanted to design clothes to last - things that can transcend seasons and trends - just like her own wardrobe.
Claudia had so much fun designing for the brand, which she actually approached about the collaboration, that she's got a second range coming, too.

Claudia has been off the scene for a while, after covering the Chile edition of Harper's Bazaar last month.
Earlier this year, the former supermodel enjoyed an Alpine break in picturesque Tirol, western Austria, with husband Matthew Vaughn and their three children - Casper, 12, Clementine, 10, and three-year-old Cosima.
The statuesque blonde previously told Jonathan Ross that despite gracing the covers of Vogue and Elle, she often feels pressured to look good when she collects her children form school.

She admitted: ‘First of all I knew I had to dress up a bit, because all the other mums looked really pretty when they took their kids to school.
'I didn’t really mind it, I just thought, “Pretend they’re not there and just do your thing and don’t really watch out for them”.’
Claudia also revealed she has no concerns about getting older, adding: ‘I just think it’s a part of life.’
