Toni Garrn

The i-D looks good but she looks too sweet for the edgy styling.
 
WOW! Toni's recent editorials are amazing! I actually like the street-look on her. And the ed from Another was just gorgeous!
 
Interview translated from German to English by iguana at supermodels.nl/tFS

"Somebody pinches me!"

Of the PUBLIC Viewing on the catwalks of this world: The 16-year-old Toni Garrn is the new German super model. A conversation over chance, stress and superficiality.

She is the newcomer. The new Claudia Schiffer. The new Kate Moss. The young lady the definitely whom cover decorates of fashion magazines is 16 years old just once. She is Toni Garrn and will be a brand of her own soon. The inhabitant of Hamburg is the new face of Calvin Klein and succeeds of Kate Moss and Christy Turlington with that. It is a mixture of innocence, coolness and childlike naivety which Toni Garrn makes fascinating so. Her story sounds like the classic fairytale of the model.

sueddeutsche.de: You were discovered at the PUBLIC Viewing. What has happened there?

Toni Garrn: This was in summer 2006 with almost 15. I came from the cinema just with friends at the Hamburg Jungfernstieg. We stopped at a football fashion show briefly. Claudia, the boss of the "model work" agency, suddenly stood in front of me. She pushed me her card into her hand and asked me, but dropping in. Well, we then have taken pictures for some days on this.

sueddeutsche.de: " Germany, Next top model, ", and one always thinks there one must to, to get famous. Have you applied there before?

Garrn: I would not have said honestly imaginarily in the life to this. I was somehow always busy with other things. (She twitches with the shoulders.)

sueddeutsche.de: What do you think of the casting show, then? Are you proud to have been discovered classically?

Garrn: On the whole it comes. (She laughs.) As in the case of the hip hop musicians "Old School" against "New School"? The show has a completely different approach. Yes, it primarily is for this there, run the spectators and keep the build-up of tension in the best case, that people switch on again. This cuts wonderfully, the third echelon finally runs.

sueddeutsche.de: You have announced to want to complete the school. It has turned around at most of the top model candidates.

Garrn: I am not special oh soooo with that, however. There have already been many models which have completed their school and have nevertheless advanced their career successfully. All this is a question of the attitude and effort. This is possible then, too, if one wants that it works.

sueddeutsche.de: You are 16 years old, the new face of Calvin Klein. Your agency spoke at the interview inquiry from "stress, stress, stress", ...

Garrn: I must pay attention much better in school to not lose the connection. I need good friends who keep me informed. Not travelling does put me under stress, I have always liked this, the jobs are varied. It is such positive stress.

sueddeutsche.de: What is part of this new life? Can you tell stories in the time-lapse photography the last 12 months?

Garrn: Milan. Paris. New York. Exciting. Fashionshows. Never made. Be together with stars now. Breathing deeply. Only not stumbling. Castings. A call. Calvin Klein campaign. Inquiries from all the world. Please pinch me for somebody! This would be the time-lapse photography.

sueddeutsche.de: A super model from Germany is taken inevitably to connection with Claudia Schiffer and Heidi Klum. Does the comparison disturb you?

Garrn: No, this does not disturb, it did not so often happen either. Perhaps what we have in common is the fair hair the only one. (She laughs.) But we really do not want to get superficial ...

sueddeutsche.de: We do not want. We talk about beauty. You were described as "the new beauty" and "so beautifully and not of this world". What does this mean for you?

Garrn: Beauty is important to the people, otherwise we would not try with all strength to find it, to reflect, to watch. Beauty can lie in everything. In objects in nature in a gesture or an attitude of mind. This is getting very philosophical here now.

sueddeutsche.de: Yes, nothing makes ...

Garrn: Clever people have to say good and more to it but there.

sueddeutsche.de: In pictures you work very thoughtfully, almost melancholy. Is this your manner? Do you like to not laugh?

Garrn: This no is rubbish. Idea which shall be realized in a photo has type directors and determined one for photographers there. But this has to do nothing with me.

sueddeutsche.de: It that they seem easing quiet also stands out pleasantly normal ...

Garrn: I take this as a compliment now ... (It laughs.)

sueddeutsche.de: One always hears of models: Slimness debate, drugs, Diven freaking out. Does one not think over the one path there twice?

Garrn: One thinks about it. But if one is in it first time, one sees an industry working professionally, where it is about a lot of money and working reliably. One cannot afford any failures there. Clearly finally there are also black sheep but this draws itself by the whole society. Generalizations unfortunately also. On the other hand, one must learn there to fortify himself. There still are other terrific clichés: All models are stupidly approximately.

sueddeutsche.de: Yes, Na, you himself make the school ready therefore no danger. Do you still have other aims?

Garrn: Many! And these have to do nothing with the model job! The first aim is my abitur and at the other ones see.
 
I ahven't read through the whole interview but I see some mistakes...:rofl:
and Iguana just put the German text into a translating machine or something like that and thats the result. Don't wonder.
 
so that's all? Blaine Cook got Calvin Klein this time (first time i hear her)
i hope toni will get other big campaign
 
^Blaine Cook is a boy :p so I don't think he'll steal Toni's campaign, he'll probably do the menswear part...
 
i think Toni is beautiful, but I think the industry will probably get tired of her look quickly.
