Following Kate Moss's revelations that she
suffered a near nervous breakdown as a teenager after being pushed into posing
topless, another top model has expressed her own concerns.
Supermodel Heidi Klum may have made a name for
herself by posing half naked on the cover of Sports Illustrated naked on the
cover of GQ and as a lingerie-clad Victoria's Secret Angel.
But she insists young models should say no to posing nude.
Speaking to Ocean Drive
in their 20th anniversary issue, the
39-year-old revealed how over the years she has learned to toe the line between
tasteful and obscene at a very young age and says young girls have to remain
strong.
Game changer: Heidi Klum rose to fame as the the
bikini-clad (and first German) cover star of Sports Illustrated in 1998, left,
and has posed nearly-naked many times - but says girls should think twice before
posing nude
She said: 'When you have a good body, photographers will often be
like, "Yeah, let’s take this off, and why don’t we lose this too," and you can
quickly end up not wearing much clothing.
'You have to be careful and strong at saying
no, especially when you’re younger and on your own. Not everyone is cool and has
your best interest [at heart].'
Baring all: The German supermodel is no stranger to posing
half naked and has also graced the Victoria's Secret catwalk
Fully clothed: The mother-of-four says young girls should
be strong
The German-born beauty also opened up about
her favourite photographer Rankin, who has captured her in a variety of
poses.
The mother-of-four said: 'But Rankin has
always made sure, when some of my shoots would be more on the naked side, that
they wouldn’t look raunchy. They were sexy, yes, but very classy.'
In fact, Rankin shot the very cover shot of
her in a fitted, one-shoulder black dress for Ocean Drive's anniversary
issue.
What's certain is that Heidi has forged an
extremely successful career for herself. In May 2011, Forbes magazine estimated
her total earnings for that year as $20 million.
She is ranked second on Forbes' list of the
'World's Top-Earning Models', behind Gisele Bündchen.

spoken out about her own anxieties when it comes to posing nude at such a young
age
