German supermodel Tatjana Patitz has died at the age of 56.
Vogue reported Patitz’s death on Wednesday. A specific cause of death is unknown.
Patitz’s New York agent, Corinne Nicolas of the Model CoOp agency, confirmed the news Wednesday, telling the Associated Press only that the model had died of an «illness» in the Santa Barbara, California, area.
Patitz graced some of the biggest fashion magazine covers in the 1980s and 1990s.
She was also known for starring in George Michael’s famous «Freedom ’90» music video.
Patitz was born in Germany and raised in Sweden, but later lived much of her life in California.
