The strangely elongated couture face, eyes like crevasses: Tatjana Patitz became an icon as a girl on the beach. In private she was rather shy. Now the German supermodel has died of breast cancer. An obituary.

The girls on the beach. What else was there to think when the news broke on Wednesday night? They were really almost girls, only later did they become supermodels, and the German photographer Peter Lindbergh had assembled them on the beach in Santa Monica on this clear morning in 1988. A great story, two years before his death he told it again himself in this well-preserved Duisburg singsong.
