Tatjana Patitz

Model Tatjana Patitz’s death was reported by Vogue on Jan. 11, 2022. She was only 56.

The German model was one of the most famous faces of the 80s and 90s. Editor Anna Wintour paid tribute to the beauty, writing, “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.”
