"TIG Talk with Heidi Klum"

 

http://thetig.com/tig-talk-heidi-klum/

 

Last year at a Golden Globe after party, I spot what can only be described as the most beautiful person I had ever seen. Yes, empirically speaking, Heidi Klum is gorgeous. But it was more than that that had me relatively spellbound. It was seeing her in a regal off the shoulder white gown, hair perfectly coiffed à la Lana Turner, eyes highlighted with a frosty shadow - channeling a screen siren of decades past - and smiling so broadly, laughing so organically that she dispelled this idea of perfection being perfectly poised. She looked not just beautiful – she looked real. Like the kind of chick you would want to grab a drink with, who juggles mommy hood with being a producer/host/model/designer, and isn’t afraid to get messy or laugh at herself. Oh wait, she is that chick. It’s perhaps the latter that took her from the small city of Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, and propelled her modeling career from Europe to the States. But it was in 1998, when she landed the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition, that the game changed for her – catapulting her curvaceous frame into a multitude of campaigns and high profile shoots. And I think it’s safe to say that everyone’s jaw dropped when just two months after giving birth she strut the runway of the Victoria Secret fashion show, scantily clad, and proud as a peacock – deservedly so – she looked flawless. But it’s her savvy and ebullient energy that keep everyone coming back for more. Today’s TIG Talk is with a megahouse role model who used her beauty to open doors, and stayed in those rooms because of her wit, intelligence, and inimitable personality.

 

My nickname is: HK or Kluminator.

 

The first thing I do when I wake up is: Jump in the shower.

 

I can't live without: My 4 children.

 

If I had one week to escape: I would sleep.

 

If I only had $10 in my pocket: I would put it in my wallet so it wouldn’t get ruined in the washing machine.

 

Everything tastes better with: A little love.

Interview with American Way magazine (10/2014):

 

Superwoman

 

http://hub.aa.com/en/aw/superwoman-heidi-klum

 

 

Heidi Klum is one of the world’s most famous faces — and figures — but she’s so much more than a model. Her multifaceted career speaks for itself. And while she may love putting on a costume for Halloween, she’s not afraid to be herself either.

Supermodel-TV show host and judge-­television executive producer-designer-businesswoman-philanthropist-mom.

Heidi Klum is the quintessential hyphenate. She’s even truly ­German-American, having received her American citizenship in 2008, while retaining citizenship in her native Germany. But what’s most striking is the grace and humor with which she seamlessly balances everything on her plate. As soon as Heidi returned from hosting the live finale of Germany’s Next Topmodel in May, she had 12-hour days filming America’s Got Talent as one of the judges. When that ended, another season of Project Runway began. This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Heidi has shown her support for the cause via actions rather than talk. She’s an ambassador for Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C), which raises awareness and funds for innovative cancer research with “Dream Teams” of scientists. The work of SU2C’s Breast Cancer Dream Team recently led to a “breakthrough therapy” designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a new breast-­cancer drug. Heidi has also worked in tandem with designer Michael Kors for the Key to the Cure campaign.

A role-model philanthropist for a host of causes, she’s slated to receive the Children’s Champion Award from UNICEF this month at its annual gala in Boston. An award previously bestowed upon Nelson Mandela, Sting and Trudie Styler, it is given to those humanitarians who help make a difference improving the lives of children the world over. Heidi is also a hands-on mom to her own four children — 10-year-old Leni, 9-year-old Henry, 7-year-old Johan and 5-year-old Lou — with ex-husband Seal. And still, these distinctions but scratch the surface of the real Heidi Klum.

When I arrive at Quixote Studios in Los Angeles for our interview, she’s still finishing up a shoot for the print ad and look book for the Heidi Klum for New Balance (HKNB) line of workout clothes she designs. She’s wearing a sports bra and workout pants, has no visible body fat and claims to work out by running 2 miles a couple of times per week when she’s not too busy — while some of us run that just to get to the gym.

She explains this to me as she sits in a makeup chair while going from sporty to glam and using my iPad as a tray for her In-N-Out Burger. If it’s any consolation, she turned down the milkshake and didn’t finish all of the fries. She says she prefers McDonald’s fries. Disclaimer: She’s also been a spokeswoman for McDonald’s.

Heidi woke up at 6 a.m. and had breakfast with her kids, which she says is normal. I’d heard she has a green smoothie for breakfast, so when I ask her about it, she looks almost insulted and says, “Actually, there’s no green in it,” thinking a second before adding, “well, sometimes a kiwi goes in there, and that’s green I guess, but it’s all fruit: pineapple, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, apples and pears. That’s not breakfast — that’s just the drink with breakfast.”

She would usually drive the kids to school afterward, but since she had to be on set at 8 a.m. today, she couldn’t. Fast-forward to 6 p.m., and she’s changing for the last HKNB look.

 

While Heidi’s in the next room, Rankin, the revered photographer who’s done dozens of photo shoots with Heidi, takes a glowing rod from the structure Heidi’s been posing on and has a fake sword fight with his assistant as someone on the team changes the music to the Star Wars theme. The vibe on set is lively and playful, matching the temperament of its subject.

After she returns from the wardrobe change, Stars Wars is replaced by rapper Missy Elliott, and the model bops around like she’s just had a triple espresso — fresh-faced as if she’s just starting the day, rather than starting the 11th hour. She spins around in pirouettes like a kid trying on ballet shoes for the first time, and when it’s time to smile for the cameras, not an ounce of it is forced, because she has a genuine smile constantly plastered on her face. “Good I didn’t have another round of coffee after the one this morning!” she exclaims to a roomful of people sipping cups of coffee.

 

The HKNB shoot wraps at 7 p.m., and Heidi asks for five minutes to FaceTime her kids before bedtime prior to graciously extending the shoot for American Way, a continuation of an already-long day that serves as yet another example of Heidi’s energy and positive attitude. From the open door of the dressing room, I can hear her squeal, “Hi, my sweeties! Hi, my loves!” She likes to FaceTime to say good night if she’s not home before the kids are asleep. Usually, she cooks dinner with her kids every night. “From meatballs to chicken soup to schnitzel to lamb chops, beans and mashed potatoes, I make everything,” she says proudly. “I’m not afraid of the oven or cooking. I love to cook — and I love to eat it afterward. I think it’s important when [kids] learn from an early age the effort that it takes to put food on the table, for them to see the process of it, the chopping and preparing, and they like participating.”

But her kids don’t always take an interest in everything their mama does.

“They don’t really like Project Runway; for them it’s too boring,” Heidi admits. “They’re still younger and they don’t want to hear about hem lengths and what was fashionable two years ago and why are you knocking this off from Alexander McQueen. They love fashion and dressing up in fun things, but they don’t want to hear about it.”

 

She also doesn’t think her children will follow in their mother’s footsteps with a career in front of the camera. “When they watch America’s Got Talent, they say, ‘Ah, I want to do that with my friends.’ Last year they said, ‘Mama, next year we’re going to come and audition,’ and I say, ‘Yeah, keep practicing.’ When they try it and see how hard it is, then they don’t do it.” She doesn’t attribute it to lack of talent or focus, but she believes: “Entertainer kids, they’re born that way. They want it from an early age, some starting at 2 or 3 years old. My kids are not like that.”

But Heidi was.

“I wanted to be a dancer. I danced for 15 years and I loved being onstage,” Heidi says. “Wherever I was, I wanted to be in the front row. I was always the class clown; always wanted everyone to laugh at me. I would never go in the back. I always wanted to be in front so everyone could see me.”

Born and raised in Germany, Heidi had her first break at age 18, after she was urged to join 30,000 contestants entering the modeling contest “Model 92.” She won and accepted the modeling contract that came as the prize after graduating from high school a few months later. Shortly thereafter, New York City became her new home following a brief stint in Miami.

During the early days in NYC, she would get homesick at times. But her work, including 200 days a year of catalog shoots, kept her busy. “I was never running around being desperate or doing things I didn’t want to do, which I know a lot of girls do, because it’s a tough business, and if you want to get ahead sometimes you have to go to a lot of parties,” she says. “But for me, because I was working all the time, I was very focused because I had to look good the next day, so I was never partying.”

In 1997, Heidi landed a coveted spot as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, which she pointed out to Sports Illustrated to show the folks there that she was capable of doing something sexy. A few months later, she booked the SI cover. After that accomplishment, everything came together quickly for the supermodel.

 

Over 13 years, she’d host the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show four times. She left the company in 2010 but said, “All good things have to come to an end. I will always love Victoria and never tell her secret. It has been an absolute amazing time.”

Heidi can currently be found on the 13th season of Project Runway on Lifetime. In 2013, she won an Emmy for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program. She refers to the show as one of her babies because she’s the creator and executive producer. “I was trying to explain to people that, ‘Hey, you haven’t seen anything like this before; there’s nothing about fashion on TV, and it’s actually cool to show the creativity these people have, always having to come up with new things in a super-quick time, and I’m hardly giving them any money.’ ”

While judging designers on the show, Heidi has achieved success as a designer herself and is creating the children’s clothing line Truly Scrumptious Clothing By Heidi Klum for Babies R Us, in addition to HKNB. Yet she says the designers on the show have a harder job than she does. “I don’t have to sew,” she says, “so the sky’s the limit. I can say I want this fabric and I want this color and I have people who can execute it for me.”

But even she doesn’t get to see all of her creative visions come to life. “I wanted to do pajamas with tails on the back because I love costumes. … But, I was told, ‘No, you’re not allowed to have a tail on the pajamas.’ ”

 

Costumes are one of Heidi’s favorite subjects, so it’s not surprising that Halloween is her favorite holiday. She’s currently planning what she’ll be for her 15th annual Halloween party. “When I came to NYC,” she says, “I was surprised there weren’t any really great Halloween parties, and I decided, ‘I’m going to make that my night and I’m going to always set the bar really high and come with the craziest outfits.’ ”

Her favorite costume was her most recent: the chic old lady that shocked people last year. She says the seed for it was planted because “Turning 40 last year, people were always talking about, ‘Oh, you’re turning 40; how do you feel about turning 40?’ It was every interview that I did: ‘How do you feel when you look in the mirror and see wrinkles and the shelf life? Are you worried about getting older? What are you going to do about it?’ It’s always age, age, age and old, old, old, and I don’t even feel that way; I really don’t. I’m quite happy with myself getting older, but everyone around me is buzzing like little bees about getting older, so for me, this was, ‘I’m going to show them old, what I’m going to look like when I’m really old.’ All of a sudden it sparked in my head, and I called my friend Bill Corso, who did special effects for movies, and I told him I wanted to look like an old lady. I wanted varicose veins and the gray stuff around my eyes … everything. It was awesome.”

In reality, Heidi has a long time before she has to worry about age spots, if ever, because to the naked eye she still looks perfect at 41. “I’m not perfect. Nobody is perfect, but I think it’s everything,” she says. “I think it’s happiness, moving your body, drinking water, sleeping and eating right. It’s a mixture of it all.”

Must Watch: Heidi Klum's New Breast Cancer PSA

Out & about, Brentwood, Oct 4 '14

 

Heidi is in American Airlines' American Way magazine this month, and she was in United Airlines' Hemispheres magazine last month (September 2014):

The lifespan of a supermodel tends to be brief. The slightest droop, the faintest crinkle, can consign the most luminous beauty to obscurity. Heidi Klum offers a glimmer of hope. Now 41, she got her start at the age of 18 after winning a modeling contest in her native Germany. Klum’s 13 years as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, along with many appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, made her one of the world’s most, um, visible models. They called her The Body.

 

With age, even the most super of supermodels can expect a career decline—but for Klum, this didn’t happen. As she entered her 30s, she branched out, co-founding the wildly popular television show “Project Runway” and going on to dabble in acting, singing, writing and painting. She has lent her name to fragrances and jewelry, and has designed a line of clothing for Babies “R” Us, along with an active wear collection for New Balance.

 

It’s her TV career, though, that has kept Klum in the spotlight. Now hosting the 13th season of “Project Runway”—for which she won an Emmy last year—Klum is also on her second stint as a judge on the ratings hog “America’s Got Talent.”

 

She spoke with Hemispheres from a television studio in Manhattan, skipping lunch to do so. But that was OK. “I like being busy,” she said. “When I’m not, I feel like something is wrong.”

——

Hemispheres: I understand you’re shooting “Project Runway” today. How’s that going?
Klum: Good. The designers are creating a dress for me this year and that’s a little nerve-racking because, um, you know, I’m going to have to wear one. Some of them were good, but some were pretty frightening.

Hemispheres: People want to get noticed, and I suppose that can go either way.
Klum: Yeah, or maybe they haven’t read enough magazines. I don’t know. There were a lot of “mothers of the bride” walking down that runway.

Hemispheres: “America’s Got Talent” is airing too. You’ve created a niche for yourself as an arbiter of talent.
Klum: I am judging again, yes, but “America’s Got Talent” is a very different animal. On “Project Runway” we don’t have a crowd. “America’s Got Talent” is in front of 5,000 people who are screaming, who are booing.

Hemispheres: And half the time they’re booing the judges rather than the acts—they’re booing you.
Klum: Yes! You know, sometimes we’ll be sitting there for the fifth or the sixth day and we’ve seen, let’s say, five ventriloquists already and now here’s the sixth. I can compare this one with the others I’ve seen from the past few days, but those people booing were not sitting here the day before and the day before that and the day before that.

Hemispheres: You obviously know a lot about the fashion industry and can make informed decisions about that world, but with “America’s Got Talent” you’re out of your element. It’s very different to think, “Oh, that woman’s got a nice voice” and predict that she’s going to sell a million records. Do you worry about making mistakes?
Klum: No. I have been in the entertainment industry for 20 years and I’ve seen a lot of shows. When someone comes on stage and has that special something, you see it immediately. Then other people come on and you’re like, “Eh, I’ve seen better” or “This is nothing new.”

Hemispheres: I think where the judges on these shows make mistakes is with novelty acts. You know, somebody will come out with five watering cans full of flaming oil and juggle them while singing “God Save the Queen.” It’s easy to get caught up in the moment, but that’s not show business, is it? That’s just somebody doing something weird.
Klum: We had this guy on who had five tarantulas. He put them on his face and everyone ran away. Howard Stern ran away, Mel B ran away, Howie Mandel ran away. They were saying, “That was amazing! Oh my gosh!” and I’m like, “Really? Give me those goggles and I’ll put five spiders on my head.” That’s not a million-dollar act.

Hemispheres: You have a reputation for being a nice person. Isn’t that a flaw when it comes to being a judge on these kinds of shows? Don’t you need to have a ruthless streak?
Klum: Well, I do have to say “no” a lot of the time, but you can say it in a nice way. I don’t think there’s a reason for being nasty to people and making them cry and run off the stage.

Hemispheres: There is an element of the Roman arena to these shows, though. I hate to say it, but part of the fun is seeing people run off in tears.
Klum: Yes, but you don’t have to be mean about it. And I don’t want people to stop what they’re doing if it’s a hobby, or they love to perform in front of their family, or at certain functions in the small town where they’re from. Maybe they’re really great there, but not for a big, fantastic show in Vegas.

Hemispheres: How about when somebody comes on and says, “I’m doing this for my goldfish, who has kidney disease”? How do you say no to that?
Klum: We had one guy, he was in the Army and he’s a super shy guy and he came onto the stage and said that when he was at war he would sing to the other soldiers, because they don’t have a lot of entertainment out there. You do hear stories, these very real, emotional and sad stories. But you have to be fair. You have to separate the personal stories from the act.

Hemispheres: You actually got your start due to a talent show, right?
Klum: Yes. I won a contest in ’92, a modeling contest. I cut out a coupon and I entered and I was on TV and Germany voted for me. That’s how I got started.

Hemispheres: Did this come as a shock to you, or were you such a gorgeous kid that it seemed inevitable?
Klum: No, it came as a full-on shock to me—my parents, too. The first few times when I had to go and do the show, they didn’t even come with me. There were so many beautiful girls.

Hemispheres: It must have been a big change of pace when you came to New York. Here you are growing up in a provincial German town and suddenly you’re caught up in this swirl of money and glamour and intrigue. It’s a wonder you didn’t get sucked in, chewed up and spat back out again.
Klum: I think I had a pretty good head on my shoulders from the very beginning. I never got into the party scene. I wanted to go to bed early. For me, it was work.

Hemispheres: You’re making it sound boring. You’re spoiling the modeling industry for me.
Klum: But that’s a part of it. You’re doing your taxes, keeping all of your receipts, dealing with the business side. Even the travel—you go somewhere for two days, then go to the next place, then go to the next place, then go to the next place, and you do that mostly by yourself, because models don’t travel in a herd. Most of the time you’re on your own.

Hemispheres: You have worked hard, and you’ve had obstacles to overcome—people saying things like, “Your look’s a little too wholesome” or “Your boobs are a little too big.”
Klum: Of course. But you can’t get every job you go for, and when you learn how to live with that it makes you stronger. Some people will like you and some won’t. That’s just how it is. It’s not always a yes—there are a lot of nos, and learning how to deal with them, that’s part of life and part of growing up.

Hemispheres: Speaking of which, you have four children of your own now. That must provide a welcome relief from the high-octane, competitive world of show business.   
Klum: Yes. As soon as I come home I kick my heels off, remove my false eyelashes and real life begins—they’re jumping on top of me: “Let’s do this! Let’s feed the dog! Let’s run around in the garden!”

Hemispheres: Did your kids influence your Truly Scrumptious clothing line for Babies “R” Us?
Klum: Yes. I know that kids love color, sparkles, ruffles. It’s very different from designing for adults, who want edgy and cool and whatnot. Kids just want to have fun.

Hemispheres: You also have a line of sportswear for women—which is at the other end of the spectrum: from the least self-conscious members of society to the most self-conscious.
Klum: I like to have fun with that, too, though. When New Balance hired me to do this, they weren’t hiring me to make another pair of black leggings. My things are quite loud.

Hemispheres: I wanted to end by pointing out that you are probably the only woman in history who’s had a variety of rose and a type of bra named after her.
Klum: And a stamp!

 

Hemispheres: For me, details like that seem to be at least as important as money or fame.
Klum: Absolutely. But I’m proud of all the things I’ve done. I can remember running around New York—going to all these studios, showing my book to photographers—for months and months and months. So it’s nice to walk down the street and see yourself on a magazine cover. Even today, after 20 years, I still get a thrill.
