The 51-year-old supermodel admitted there is a sense of pride when her 20-year-old daughter Leni brings new life to iconic items from the past.

She told People magazine: ‘I get so excited when I see my daughters re-wearing my clothes.

‘My eldest daughter, she also is a model, and she goes to events and when she wears my clothes I’m not just proud but we can upcycle.’

Heidi has Leni with ex-husband Ric Pipino and Lou, 15, Johan, 17, and Henry, 19, with musician ex Seal, 60, who adopted Leni in 2009.

She is enjoying ‘pᴀssing clothes down’ to her children, and pointed out how ‘wrong’ it is to just wear an outfit once and then keep it shut away.

She added: ‘I think it’s so important also to keep wearing your things.

‘I think in the past, we’d wear something once and then we’d never wear it again, and it’s so wrong to do.

‘I urge everyone to wear your amazing things that you have in the closet. It’s the best shop, your own closet.’

Meanwhile, Heidi explained that her children have inspired her to speak out about the environment and the impact of climate change.

She said: ‘I have four kids and hopefully I will be a grandmother one day and what about my grandkids?

‘We have to think about our tomorrow.

‘When I was a kid you knew already it was starting and for people to say there is no climate change, I mean open your eyes around you — it’s happening everywhere.

‘There are so many places that I’ve visited where they’re complaining about these things and flooding and everything going on.’

This comes after Klum said she believes she has ‘lived many lives before’.

she admitted she is a ‘hoarder’ because she can’t resist buying objects she believes she owned in her past lives, and thinks this is the first time she has been born as a woman.

She told The Times newspaper: ‘At work I’m very correct, straightforward and organised, but I’m super-messy at home. I’m a hoarder, so that’s a slight problem. I love flea markets and I’m always looking for things that belonged to me in the past. They talk to me.

‘I have this weird idea that I’ve lived many lives before,’ she says. ‘So I’ll look at something like that antique clock over there and feel that used to be mine and I want it. Our house has become like a museum over the years.’

Asked who she was in previous incarnations, she said: ‘I have always been men before —this is my first time as a woman.’

The ‘America’s Got Talent’ judge is fascinated by fortune telling and believes she is living out a prediction that was made when she was a teenager.

She said: ‘I get my palms, irises, feet, everything read. When I was 16 I had my future read and the astrologer said to me, ‘Millions of people will listen to what you have to say. ‘

‘But I hadn’t even thought of being a model then or hosting Halloween parties. I just used to dream of having a big family, with a big house and garden, dogs and lots of kids. I’m lucky — I’ve got it all now.’
