Patitz was also featured on the famous 1990 British Vogue cover alongside fellow supermodels Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turlington, cementing her status as one of the five “original” supermodels of the 1990s.
She also starred in George Michael’s Freedom! ’90 music video and worked on campaigns for Chanel, Calvin Klein, and Versace.
Anna Wintour, global editorial director of Vogue, said: “Tatjana was always the European symbol of chic, like Romy Schneider-meets-Monica Vitti… She was far less visible than her peers – more mysterious, more grown-up, more unattainable – and that had its own appeal.”
