Throughout her career, Claudia Schiffer carefully cultivated an image of Miss Proper, but now that she is approaching an age where a little more daring is required to stand out, she is up to the challenge.

Schiffer is dressed in [Dolce & Gabbana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) for the [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club) Italia March 2009 edition, photographed by Patrick Demarchelier. Slouching seductively (or drunkenly) in the back of a limo is, apparently, the new, more comfortable, catwalk for Ms. Schiffer.

**Implications** - In order to stay relevant with new fashion and pop culture crazes, businesses and artists must adapt to create images and products that will appeal to younger viewers. The use of [celebrity endorsement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/up-next-campaign) will boost the media attention surrounding an item or company, especially if the ad is in any way controversial or shocking. By showing a public figure in a different and unfamiliar light, a company can create consumer interest in their product.
