Career
Heidi Klum  is a model, actress, television host, business woman, fashion designer, producer of television , artist, and occasional singer. Her career as a top fashion model and swimsuit star began almost by accident when, on a lark, she submitted photos to a model competition hosted by Petra, a young woman's magazine. Klum won the competition, and signed with Metropolitan, the German modeling agency. After modeling in Europe for a few years to great success, she went to the United States to pursue modeling there, and met with more success, culminating in her relationship with Victoria's Secret. This brought her to the pinnacle of modeling and, in 1998, the coveted cover of Sports Illustrated's annual Swimsuit Issue, cementing her status as one of the world's top models. Along with that came lucrative marketing opportunities, including her own signature lines of sandals, jewelry, and perfume.

Klum has been on the cover of fashion magazines, including Elle, Marie Claire, Sports Illustrated (SI) and after the SI photo cover shoot she became famous and great for her work with the Victoria Secret. Heidi Klum hosted the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2009 and started the "Project Runway" television series in that same year. She works hard and even though she is mom to four children she is still the glamorous model, beautiful and charming.
