Claudia Schiffer: I store my clothes in a helicopter hangar

Supermodel keeps garments in building next to home

Supermodel Claudia Schiffer shot to fame in 1990 when she became the face of Chanel

Claudia Schiffer has converted a helicopter hangar into a closet.

The supermodel, 38, is keen to hold onto all the designer clobber that's made her famous.

She was inspired to create the enormous wardrobe when her husband Matthew Vaughn asked her to have a clear-out at their Suffolk mansion.

‘I’ve kept all my clothes. I have a hangar that is normally made for helicopters and I’ve got all my clothes in there,’ Claudia tells Vogue magazine.

‘The heli-hangar was Matthew’s idea. I have so many closets of Chanel in there, it’s like a Chanel boutique.’

Claudia wants to pass on the collection to daughter Clementine, 4.
