Wellington - Nina Schubert, 25, a German fashion model who strutted the catwalk in London, Paris, Milan and New York for six years, is working at an abattoir in New Zealand, a newspaper revealed on Saturday.
"I need to learn a trade. I only know modelling," she told the Taranaki Daily News.
The 1.8-metre, long-legged, blue-eyed blonde who has been pictured in swimsuits in the world's leading fashion magazines, said it was hard, strenuous, physical work.
