In an interview with published on Nov. 1, Klum spoke out about her decision to wear revealing clothing.
“I’m not shy about my femininity. I love dressing up where I have my cleavage showing, wearing miniskirts, high heels, gorgeous stockings — but that doesn’t mean I want to go home with you,” she said.
Klum continued, sharing that it’s “just my personality. Why not? I want to have fun and show my body, but I have boundaries, as do all women.”
She also talked at length about her interest in fashion, even as a child. “There’s this carnival in Cologne every year and I used to go on the float. My grandmother was a seamstress so I always had lots of outfits, or my mum would make something for me and my Barbie to match, which is amazing as Mattel rang me one day and I have my own Barbie now,” Klum pointed out before revealing that her Barbie is the only one with underwear.
“it always bugged me that they were naked. I didn’t like how none of them wore any underwear, it’s undignified. Mine has a cute pair of pink knickers and a bra painted on. I’m very proud of that,” she said.
