Inside Claudia Schiffer's English Countryside Home Filled With Wonderful Objects | Vogue

well I would always say hello hello Carl and then he would say hello Claudia he would always call me clodia Hi V it's CL shaer here welcome to my home in the beautiful English Countryside I can't wait to show you around some of my favorite things okay let's [Music] go this is the house we live in and work in me and my husband Matthew our three children and then we've got also a German Shepherd Rolo and a cat cat chip what's so special here are these very big glass windows they have this most amazing view we're in the middle of nowhere pretty much Countryside all around and you can see like a fox going by every day so my taste to Interior Design is a mixture of Scandinavian mid-century 50s 60s 7s furniture everything has to do with something it's not just randomly put together for example I buy art not because it's an investment but because I fall in love with it it's the same with the furniture I sort of buy it cuz I like it and then I work out the space for it afterwards it's actually one of the things I love to do often when the kids have been in bed I sort of move start moving furniture around it's one of my passions so I have a large collection in my archives of all kinds of things that I've been given during my career in the9 90 s kaga has been always very generous at R he had an atellier where he did all his creations and designs for example this bag it was just a black canvas bag and he had the idea last minute to paint over it and I was like oh my God this is amazing and then when the fitting was finished he said oh you know what Claudia you can have one held was sort of my magic dust I was a very shy girl and transformed me from this shy girl into the a super model and I remember when I first met him he somehow thought there was something special about me and said you know what I'd like you immediately to start tomorrow you got to go to dille and we're going to shoot the Chanel campaign and as the day went on I warmed up a little bit more we then spoke German together and realized that we had a lot of things in common and lots of energy and we both didn't drink we didn't do anything naughty at 3:00 in the morning we were still up and running and full of energy and everyone else was getting very tired and he said to me yeah you're just like me you very German titonic and disciplined it was that sort of bonding moment that started our long relationship together and then this is quite fun as well we had my picture put on a Chanel bout that I wore in the in one of the fashion shows and this is a bag such a great trip that we took in the AL malfi coast and it was in one of the campaigns and I love it because it's just so unusual for for Chanel so fun so this is one of my favorite paintings it's SED who's an American painter it's called Point Blank it's a reference to a film from 1967 so I don't have any advisor for the art I go into an art exhibition or art fair and I see something I immediately feel a connection to it I can't stop thinking about it and you know if I can afford it then I would then buy it well anything from edret is really special to me because it reminds me of the time when I first met my husband in Los Angeles we had met edri ourselves there and we went to his student studio and looked at the way uh he painted and so that's sort of a connection to me now so that when I look at that painting I think of that story back then so we're here in the kitchen the most important room in the house where we spend most of our time as a family and even when friends are coming everyone is always in this kitchen I do not cook but I'm very good at presenting it's very important for me that everything is in beautiful bowls and flowers and vases and the candle is always burning it just makes me feel really good another object of My Affection this beautiful butterfly vas I collected Ceramics from this Portuguese company for years until one day I called them up and said I'd love to know more about you and perhaps we can do something together and so I created this collection with all the butterflies I love the idea of transformation and a butterfly symbolizes that for me and so we're lucky we have a wonderful view outside this is where we have our breakfast and lunches and dinners [Music] here I've got another object of affection which is my secret stash of chocolates I actually did not like English Chocolate when I first moved to England I was obsessed with German chocolate and then one day someone brought this as a present and it's the best chocolate in the whole world I think it's got really soft liquidy caramel inside I'm obsessed German chocolate still good this is just a little bit [Applause] better very good don't not open this is the dining room where we have dinner parties or meetings and while you eat you can enjoy the great View and now I'm going to show you something in this dining room close to my heart follow me this is my collection of tortoises wherever I go around the world I always look for one that I can bring home when I met my husband I said that I loved tortoises and I never had one and next thing I noed a real tortoise sh up at my house tortoise also represents love and protection so it's sort of the symbol of the relationship of me and my husband and something to protect the family and this is a very special object of affection it's Chip the cat chip is in a in the film of my husband called Al CHP Hadad is was sharing his trailer with Matthew and became bit of a star so he's now sort of like a napple kitty he's even written his own Memoirs now he's got his own chip Instagram you know it's quite rare I spent time with him nowadays cuz he's so busy this is one of his Tantrums it's a new thing since he's become a star so cat's aside there's something else I really wanted to show you this is my jewelry box my favorite rings from Solange they all gifts for my husband and my nickname is cloudes because as in cloudia cloudy but actually like cloudy as in clouds in English and so there's one here with a scenery with a cloud and another ring as a cloud which is me and then a lot of animals the first one was the tortoise obviously another piece I want to show to you this is an English artist Damen Hurst and this is a DOT painting the reason I like it so much is the classic dot painting has a white background and this one has unusually a dark background since the piece has like literally every color you can imagine I thought it needed a really plain background and that's why I hung it here CU there's absolutely nothing else besides the plain wooden wall I have ENC counted the dogs huh that's this probably one of those things to do when you have nothing to do which I never have so we're now in the basement this is not your usual basement it's um the place where I work where my husband works and where we have a cinema room for work and pleasure and now is something I really want to show to you which is my wedding dress by Valentine my dear friend it was designed in Rome by his Valentino atellier took them 6 months to do so when I um told Valentino that I I got engaged first of all he then threw me an engagement party which was really sweet of him and so on I said to him well actually I was going to ask you if you could design my wedding dress and he said fun you ask I already did it and so he had a b c d options of what I would like off the shoulder rounded neck was all these different different options and then I went to Rome with my mom and my two bridesmaids and I put on the dress in Rome looking out the window thinking oh my God this is L Chita so goodbye Vogue it's been lovely showing you all my favorite things and now one very last object of affection Rolo bye [Music]
