^^ part1

With 22 years a classic: Julia Stegner is moving forward with the right appearances, good nerves and a clever strategy on the catwalk.

In the beginning when she sits down in front of the window with a view of Broadway to get styled she still looks like "normal" Julia Stegner. Her hair hangs down smoothly. She wears a Grey-Ant jeans with a far blow as it comes in fashion in Manhattan. And she has not come over here from the East Village by bicycle only therefore because it has a flat foot. While the Hair stylist works on her hair now for one hour, the make-up artist gets to work on her face and Honey, the nail expert, paints her fingernails at the end, Julia Stegner is speaking of her career. With 22 years she has taken not even the first steps as in most lines of business at that age. As a top model she has to talk about hundreds of catwalk kilometres already done.

Some in their age even already have their career behind themselves. "you can hardly see many girls today with whom I have begun. I am lucky that my face is still in demand." And this does not have only to do with luck but also with a carefully controlled marketing. Julia Stegner pays attention, to hold the balance between the artistic claims " high fashion " with catwalk appearances and magazine photos as well as the commercial impulse to advertising campaigns for the really good money. Simply cos she has found this balance, she can afford to select the shows to do during New York fashion week "Im doing approximately one show per day. In the meantime you can do some photo shooting. This is not so stressful and no so many people yell around."
The super model age is past, but perhaps this exactly helps her on her way. "Germany had no more top model since Claudia Schiffer and Heidi Klum. That is a reason im getting attention now although i cannot compare myself with them because I am not a super model."

When Claudia 1987 was discovered, Julia just came into the nursery school. When Claudia 1990 came onto the "Vogue" cover to the first time, Julia was registered at school in Munich. And when Heidi won in the competition "model ' 92", Julia was in the third class. Seven years later she was with friends at the Oktoberfest in Munich. Louisa of Minckwitz, founder and boss of the internationally active Munich agency "Louisa Models", dropped in, saw this 15 years old spindly pupil jutting out of the group with her 1.83 metres, approached her and gave the puzzled girl her visiting card. Her friends joked: "Me too!" But Louisa who had founded her agency in 1981 and developed an incorruptible view long ago did courageously the handle of her life: Julia Stegner who sat in the agency with her parents on the sofa two weeks later is still with "Louisa".



part 2

Julia still made the O Level. But to make for the special abitur (vocational diploma) her career went too fast anyway. A test photo came onto the cover of the French Elle in the year 2002. Jumping at that chance, Louisa sent Julia to the big shows. Tom Ford booked her for Gucci in Milan on March 1st, 2003. And because the super designer liked her alot he let her open and close his Yves Saint Laurent show for autumn and winters 2003 nine days later in Paris. Her fast rising career led Julia on "Vogue" titles, boss advertisements and Chanel catwalks. German "Vogue" August 2007 underlines the alternation of generations under the German models. How natural is it to see her next to Claudia Schiffer and Nadja Auermann on the title there.

In the conversation Julia Stegner sprinkles personal stories while the hair always takes more adventurous forms on her head under the hands of the Hair stylist: that she was with her parents in Munich for three weeks -the longest time for years- and that she had to get used to New York again where she lives for three years now; that she has bought a flat for herself with little roof gardens in the East Village; that she knows at least since she must pay the loan for it off what she works for; that she feels like a bore, doesnt go out that much, however, has to do that sometimes to keep in touch to the scene and that " real a bore ". She does not say this from calculation. She is still the girl from Munich which will already still get her friend to repair the puncture at her bicycle, and which is just booked because of this casual naturalness.

At the same times she has no problems to speak her mind. She doesnt like the way models in the magazine world are treated "All the Hollywood stars on the covers are too much. Models on the covers are more beautiful because they know what they do." Celebrities have removed much from the glamour of the models. But this isnt a problem for her since she can move freely in New York, Paris or Munich without getting too much attention. But she also recognizes a variety of the contempt of models in this.

And she already is at a favourite subject there: the prejudices. "they say models would take drugs,would be anorexic and brainless. Its not that way! The exception is raised to the rule there drugs would for example be never offered to her, "Maybe i look too well-behaved for this. The fact that many girls were getting thin and thinner shouldnt be automatically connected to fashion biz.In addition she makes the casting shows responsible for prejudices: "I have never seen any America Next top model girls in the High Fashion. If a girl has the potential, she doesnt need to go through casting show, then she finds an agency anyway." At the American show the girls had to put themselves in a coffin and got down calm to a pit. Who did not go along with that was thrown out. "Ecuse! This sounds so as if they not had any freedom of making their own decision! If someone would ask me to do that, i would say: "I do not do this! What does this have to do with modelling?"

So not only the right figure and the right face but also forcefulness and stability are part of the model. You need a good agent who steers the appointments she says. "You shouldnt make too little, too much and primarily not the wrong things. Many new girls become virtually burned out. They want to make as much money as possible within a short time cos they fear to be out of biz after two seasons. But this lowers the market value." Although the worlds are no longer as separated as early: Today you can see the same face Prêt-at Porter and the next day in a cheap campaign. "But youve to be careful. And most newbies dont know about the rules of the modelbiz." In addition, youve to be so flexible to get a call in the morning and to be in Miami the next day in front of the camera. "At the beginning this was difficult for me because I have enjoyed planning everything. But I have got more spontaneous."

She had to,like all models. Because the prices are dilapidated. Frequently enough theres is no cent for magazine photos for catwalk appearances often only one dress because such appearances increase the market value in the advertising. The East European models which dominate in the model history today after the "brazilian moment" have pushed the prices down deeply. We are also exchangeably, Julia Stegner says and mentions that Carmen Kass wanted to found a model union once. "Sometimes we are working the whole night and are getting nearly nothing for this. And some are only 16 years old!"

But she does not want to complain. She can work with the best photographers: Steven Meisel, Craig McDean, Peter Lindbergh, David Sims. "I can show myself to be different every time and slip in different characters. Every photographer lets me look different." This particularly applies well to the assistant of Steven Meisel: He became her longtime companion.

At the end, Honey comes to the row which is responsible for the fingernails. "Shes the best" In Paris making the nails last longer than the hair and the make-up sometimes. But Honey is fast and it looks good." Honey says: "She is so easy!", Julia discovers the hair grown to an eighty annual monster a la Denver clan in the mirror, then have to put on a Vintage dress of Vivienne Westwood which does not correspond to her eased style at all, and smiles on yet. The rest goes down in the blast of the hairdryer.
