German supermodel Heidi Klum has joined forces with New Zealand based lingerie company Bendon to release Heidi Klum Intimates, launching worldwide in January.

The company had previously had a long-standing partnership with Elle Macpherson, with whom they released several collections. Klum, who's both creative director and model of the range, commented 'I have many companies that come to me, but I wanted to be with someone who was as big as them, as established as them, as successful as them'.
