What’s the best-kept secret about your hometown?

The best-kept secret about my hometown is for sure all the little beaches that are kept hidden from most tourists, I’d say.

What was your introduction into the modelling world?

My first introduction into the modeling world would be my first runway show I did for the brand GmbH, during the Paris FW Fashion Week.

Do you have a lucky trinket that you wear or carry with you at all times?

At the moment I don’t have a lucky trinket anymore, but I used to have one.

Who’s the number one person you talk to the most every day?

The number one person I speak to right now is for sure one of my current flatmates Phil or Julian.

What does style mean to you? And what are three adjectives to describe your personal style?

Style means to me first of all: freedom. That means that I can express myself through my style and communicate with my environment pretty much without even speaking a single word. Three words to describe my style would be sporty, Berlin street style-esque, and Y2k high fashion

If you weren’t modelling, what’d you be doing professionally?

I’m not 100% sure what I’d be doing because I dropped out of high school when I started modelling. However, I’m pretty sure that I would have been doing something in the creative world.

Where do you shop?

I usually shop on Vestiare Collective, KadeWe, or local second-hand markets in Berlin.

What’s your favourite song?

So that usually changes every week for me, but for now my favorite song is either, ‘Where My Twin’ by Future and Metro Boomin or, ‘Dubai’ by Gola Gianni.
