A heavily pregnant Claudia Schiffer appears naked on the cover of the June edition of Germany’s Vogue magazine.
In a picture taken by fashion designer Karl Lagerfield, the 39-year-old supermodel proudly shows off her baby bump.
Schiffer, who is due to give birth in a matter of days, said she felt it was important to do the cover “to show how beautiful womanhood is”.
“There are probably not many other women who have been photographed as often as Claudia,” said Vogue editor Christine Arp.
“She has never been seen in such a different way.”
Schiffer made her first appearance on the cover of German Vogue nearly 20 years ago, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.
She has appeared 11 times since.
The photo shoot comes shortly after Largerfeld made headlines for saying no one wanted to see “curvy” models.
In 1991 Demi Moore stirred controversy when she appeared seven months pregnant and nude on the cover of Vanity Fair.
