Tatjana Patitz, one of the original ’90s supermodels and star of George Michael’s “Freedom! 90” music video, has died aged 56.
Enter Peter Lindbergh, the fairy godfather of Patitz’s career. The German photographer, noted for his unretouched images and preference for a “natural” beauty look, would shoot Patitz for the famous image, “White Shirts: Six Supermodels, Malibu,” in 1988, and again for British’s January 1990 supermodels cover. When George Michael saw that issue, he invited the same cast of “girls” to appear and lip sync in his “Freedom! ’90” music video.
Tatjana Patitz had long-standing working relationships with Lindbergh, Herb Ritts and Patrick Demarchelier, who often shot her on location. Her more recent appearances in, a supermodels-in-denim story shot by Annie Leibovitz. In 2012, Patitz and her son Jonah Johnson were captured in a pastoral idyll at home on their ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley by Lindbergh. Again in 2019, the mother and son made an appearance in a Tina Barney portfolio.
