How would you describe yourself in a few words?
I’m a wild fighting spirit who’s always up for new adventures, constantly striving for the best while never loosing my base. I love to be free and independent, surrounded by beautiful things and people and I love to dance, do yoga and try to cook as good as donna hay haha
How long have you been a model?
I wouldn’t consider myself to be a model, but I would say I’m very happy to see pictures of me that turned out really cool and that I can be proud of. Since you lovely people from b-authentique asked me to be featured I do felt like one for a moment, though … #biglove
How did you get into modelling?
back in school my parents always gave me money so I could buy some lunch, but instead I bought fashion magazines cause I’ve always admired and loved the aesthetic of models and shootings. later I studied communications design which then naturally brought me closer to the world of fashion and photographers.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
a few years ago when we had a shoot at our dance center, I got really excited and wanted to look as good as I possibly can, so I ate even more healthy, worked out everyday, shopped the coolest clothes and slipped under the solarium a few times (i know it’s bad but it just feels SO good to be tanned). preparing for it was just as exciting as the shooting itself and seeing the results was the greatest gift for all the hard work beforehand!
What does modelling mean to you?
that I don’t take my health and body for granted. it also means capturing a moment in my life, which I will always be able to look back to and be proud of — a moment of beauty, reality, and progress.
A model you particularly admire?
Toni Garrn.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
somewhere nordic with a gray rock silhouette in the back or in front of a banana or palm leaf setting would be really cool
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
sporty chic. mostly black. a combination of Lululemon and Zoe Karssen.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
LA or Vancouver Island.
What is happiness?
happiness to me is doing what I love as often as I can. being healthy and fit and knowing that I always have a choice.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
most likely dancing in my favorite clubs in Hamburg!
What’s your next goal?
a free handstand — I’ve been envying girls who are able to do this! really need to get on this and start practicing. my promise to you: by the end of 2017 I’ve posted a handstand picture on Instagram!
