Simon Paul

The Prada newcomers were a boring bunch, but he is the exception, just perfect :heart:
 
Berlin born new face Simon Paul (Nevs) has been modelling since winter 2012 after being recommended to his mother agency by a fellow model.
The basketball fan, who if he wasn’t modelling would be studying psychology, is now signed to agencies worldwide and about to embark on his debut Fashion Week!

Age: 19
Birth date: 21.08.1993
Birthplace: Berlin
Ethnic Origin: My Mother is German and my Father is from South Africa. So I’m Afro German.
How were you scouted: A good friend of mine worked as a model and suggested I have it a go. So I signed with Nest Model Management in Berlin. I just had my final exams and immediately started modelling. It’s going great so far, I’m having a great time!
Favourite grooming product: Face cream by cosmetic brand Lavera
Hobbies: Spending time with friends and family, going out, dancing, traveling, playing basketball, reading, meeting new people and getting to know new cultures.
Fitness Regime: Running in the morning and going to the gym. But running in the morning is pushed aside “sometimes” haha.
Favourite Movie: I have a lot of favourites: Men on Fire, He Got Game, The Darknight, Pulp Fiction…
What was the last track you listened to on your iPod?: Zoo Look -Over Me (Detroit Swindle Mix)
Do you have any Guilty Pleasures?: I have a sweet tooth
What is your biggest fear?: Not finding “the one”
What is your dream country to visit?: Cuba or Brasil

If you got to relive one day in your modeling career it would be…: The day I got the confirmation for my first Menswear Show in Milan.
If you could be on the cover of any magazine, it would be: Landing the i-D Magazine cover would be sweet.
What’s the funniest thing that has happened to you on a shoot?: Falling in a deep sleep during a long break at a shoot. They were busy shooting the other models, afterwards they had to wait until I didn’t look sleepy anymore. The crew took it with humor and mocked me. I’m making sure that doesn’t happen again.
What’s your favorite fashion city and why?: Up to now I only spent some time in London. I assume it would be New York though. As they say: If you make it here, you can make it anywhere.
Who are your idols?: My father, he made the best out of his situation and always fought for what he believed.
One word to describe yourself: original
Instagram name: garconberlinized (Simon Dube Paul)
How much money would you need to shave your hair off? For a thousand pounds on the spot, I’d be up for it.
