So I met topmodel Julia Stegner this morning during the Berlin Fashion Week Press conference and she was exactly like I imagined she would be. Very tall, unbelievably beautiful and incredibly sweet. The press conference started around 10 am and of course Julia was the center of attention. I got the best seat in the front row and kept smiling at her and lucky me….she noticed and smiled back several times. During her short speech she seemed rather insecure, which I liked, because it shows after all she is just a normal girl. She told us that she is very excited to be the face of Mercedes Benz Berlin Fashion Week, because she thinks that Berlin is an inspiring and creative city and she is happy to be here, because her best friend lives in Berlin so she gets to see her more often ( some journalists laughed when she said that, but I thought it was a sweet and personal comment ….sigh…. journalists and photographers can be so arrogant ). After she sat down again, Almuth Nehring-Venus (Secretary of State at Senate for Economics, Technology and Women’s Issues) said that Berlin will definitely keep on supporting the Fashion Week and for the next few seasons Bebelplatz will stay the location of BFW. She ended her lil speech by saying ” Maybe next time we will have a second runway”. Huh??? What is that supposed to mean??? I dunno…anyways…after that Julia posed outside the tent for some pictures and was very patient in contrast to her damn agent or whoever that was who dragged her away after a few minutes. So mean! She would have stayed for some interviews, but no….she wasnt allowed to. Oh well….it was still a great experience for me to see her and I’m sure she will be around until sunday so I might meet her again. Here are my pics….enjoy!
P.S. How awesome are her boots???!!! ….and…more pics later ; )
