How discovered:
The typical discovering story, Steffen from eq – my mother agency – came up to me while I was shopping in Düsseldorf with my sister. And after my mother googled everything we needed to know about modelling, it all started.

Favorite things:
I definitely can’t live or function without my friends, family, iPhone & sunshine! If any of these things are missing, I am not really myself.

What are you listening to at the moment?
My all time favourite band is the Neighbourhood, but recently I have really been into Rap eg Kendrick Lamar & Mac Miller

Favorite movie, tv show:
Lord of the Rings is definitely in my top 3 movies. I also love Game of Thrones and many other shows. It’s probably easier to name the shows I don’t watch, rather than count the ones I do enjoy watching.

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
I have always been in love with the designs at Prada, Celine & Chloe. They create just such strong new looks every season. Actually one of my favourite fragrances is ‘See’ by Chloe. My most important beauty product otherwise must be moisturizer. I just can’t stand it when my face is feeling dry. To prevent that I have been using the ‘Vitamin E nourishing cream’ from the Body Shop for quite some time now.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
If I weren’t modelling, my life would probably be just like any teenage girl’s life. Going to school, seeing friends, etc. But between those things I can now name fashion weeks in Paris or Milan.. If there comes a time, when I am not modelling any more, I am probably going to study something to do with design.

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
My friends did question my fashion sense, when I bought my first pair of Birkenstocks. Otherwise I do stick to my black & white fashion. What most people probably wouldn’t expect is that I am quite the Geek, which you can tell by my favourite movie & tv shows.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
All in all, the Céline Fall/Winter 16/17 show in Paris was definetely a highlight! It was amazing to see how actually all the clothes came together to create such strong and intense looks for the show!

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
Apart from family and friends, my home town’s best feature must be how quiet it is. I know I sound like such a countryside girl, but compared to the cities I go to for modelling, here there is just a special kind of calmness, with I sometimes miss when I am abroad.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
I do dream big! So on my to do list for the future, it says: Vogue cover, open a show in Paris, New York, Milan & London.. It would be a dream come true if any of these things did happen at any of my favourite designers…

Place you would love to visit:
Many places, cities and countries fascinate me! Right now, I am very interested in going to South Africa, and not just because there is a town called Kimberly…

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
Right now is my favourite season! Spring! Everything and everyone seems to be waking up from their hibernation, the weather is nice and I can finally get my leather jacket back out of the closet!
