Patitz died Wednesday from breast cancer, her agent Corinne Nicolas told CNN. She's survived by her son, Jonah.
The German-born model appeared on dozens of covers for Vogue and countless other fashion magazines beginning in the 1980s. Her most famous cover, which she shared with fellow supermodels of her generation, inspired George Michael to cast her in his music video for "Freedom! '90."

2. A very familiar face to me.

The 90s models has so much style. Fashions and models since then have sucked (just my opinion). I used these fashionistas as my foundation for many, many illustrations and inspiration for dressing the mannequins at Macy's in the 80s and 90s.
