She is the beautiful young lady in the amazing white dress on Streetfashion MagZZine's cover March 2017 and, as you can see on the right, she also presents the little black dress perfectly. Up and coming model Olivia Leps was spotted by us on German model community Model-Kartei and we were immediately fascinated. She convinced us with her intense and in the same time sensitive expressions and her versatility. Get your own impression of Olivia in our interview with her and by watching some of her photos.

What’s been the highlight of your career so far?
My personal highlight was a Fashion Award at an Opera Ball. We all wore beautiful dresses, mine was from a German designer and overall it was a really a nice presentation.
 
Tell us about some of your recent shoots.
One of my last shoots was with a male model. We started in an ordinary manner in the studio, but after some time the photographer noticed the good light outside so we spontaneously decided to make use of the sun and ended up taking pictures on the roof top. It was so much fun and we laughed a lot.
 
What really goes on behind the scenes as a model?
Above all, one has to get along well with the photographer. This always works for me, because you can have a good time as we both love what we are doing. Of course you have to prepare for every shooting, but for me this is less stressful than you might think.
 
Which photographers in the industry do you most enjoy working with?
I am looking forward to meet more.

Your favourite designer is… ?
There are so many good ones out there, I honestly can’t choose just one.
 
Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar?
Both.
 
Is there any particular designer piece you are crushing on right now?
No.
 

What do you hope to be doing in the next 5 years?
Maybe you read this a lot, but yes, I also see myself as a model who has managed to build up a successful career, is enjoying her job, meets lots of nice and creative people and travels most of the time.
 

To succeed in the modeling industry today takes skill, hardwork and dedication. Long gone are the days when a tall, toned body and perfectly symmetrical face would guarantee work (let alone, fame). Although perfection is welcomed, cutting edge editorials and magazines are looking for that little bit more edge these days.

We have all noticed a real change in the industry and how tattoos and body art are perceived.

Any basic principles or belief you stand by?
A basic principle i stand by is be generous, loving and show appreciation. Stay humble and remain true to yourself.

How long have you been modeling?
I have been modeling for 7 months now.
 
What's your favorite part?
My favorite part about modeling is observing your talent after you are done with the photo shoot. I also enjoy networking and meeting new talent/people

What’s a typical day for you?
A typical day for me consists of casting calls, gym, eating all day, photo shoots and then probably homework unfortunately.
 
What is the biggest challenge you faced in your career?
The biggest challenge I have faced in my career is adjusting to the wants of the industry. Tattoos and piercings only take you so far in my opinion so i have been removing piercings and adjusting accordingly to my goals.
 
What has been your biggest achievement?
My biggest achievement in modeling so far has been networking and shooting in Atlanta. I also landed a magazine cover last month and that was something crazy. Landing a speaking role in Tyler Perry's show was by far the best thing i have accomplished thus far.
 
Where do you see yourself in five years?
In five years, i see myself as a main character in a movie. I want to excel and grow as an actor and make worth of my full potential. I will be one of the most known actors and perfect my craft on my way.
 
If you could shoot with your favorite celebrity who would it be. And what kind of concept?
If I could shoot with my favorite celebrity I would probably have to pick Dwayne Johnson. I would love recreate some fast and the furious styles. I think me and Channing Tatum would do pretty well together too in a shoot for the ladies lol.
 
Once act of kindness everyone should follow?
The act of kindness everybody should follow is to show generosity and keep giving.

She is a new face at Streetfashion MagZZine's partner agency Modelemi. Since we expect her to appear occasionally in our editorials, we like to introduce you up and coming model Brooke Manuel with this feature and  welcome her in the Modelemi family.

So with this feature you have the opportunity to learn a little bit about Brooke in the interview, we held with her, and to take a look at some of the photos, she has done up to now. 

What’s been the highlight of your career so far?
The highlight of my career thus far would be starring in a commercial for a motorcycle shop in Odessa called Sparky's Cycle Worx. It was much different than photoshoots and runways because it involved acting as well as modeling. Another big highlight of my career has been signing with Tim Bear's new agency Modelemi. I'm so glad to be a part of the Modelemi family! 

Tell us about some of your recent shoots.
My most recent shoot was with Tim Bear. We shot on location and in his studio in China Springs. I did eight outfit changes so we got quite a few different looks which was fun! 

What really goes on behind the scenes as a model?
Most may believe that modeling is just as easy as standing in front of a camera and looking pretty but that is definitely not the case. Models put a lot of time into submitting emails for model calls, networking with different people in the industry, preparing for shoots, traveling to and from shoots, etc.

Who would you say is your 'style muse'? 
My style muse would have to be Taylor Momsen because she is the epitome of grunge! 

Your favourite designer is… ?
My favourite designer at the moment would have to be either Rocky Gathercole or Midi Soliz of Black Cross. 

Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar?
Vogue..definitely Vogue! 

Is there any particular designer piece you are crushing on right now?
Lately, I've been crushing on one of Michael Kors' Valentine collection purses "Mercer Large Leather Tote". It's a red purse and I just love it because I think it would add a pop of color to every outfit! 

What do you hope to be doing in the next 5 years?
In the next five years, I hope to be growing as a model. I would like to get more publications, shoot for brands, do runway shows, do a little acting, etc. Also, I'm currently finishing my Associates in Criminal Justice and will be graduating in May. I hope within the next few years, I will have worked my way up in the field and scored a job as either a crime scene investigator or a detective. 

If you could be anywhere else but here, where would you go?
I would go to New York..I've always wanted to visit the big city because it's such a different pace than what I'm used to here at home. There are so many places that I want to see and experience there. It's a dream of mine to model in New York one day! 

Living and working in London, UK, model and actress Victoria Sviggum is a versatile person, who has a lot of skills. She speaks three languages, plays piano, tennis and football. She can sing and masters several kinds of dances.

All in all she is a fascinating character and caught our eyes immediately with the first view at her photos. We are proud to got the opportunity for an interview with her. Take the chance and get to know Victoria in this feature.

On a personal level, a highlight of mine was reaching my body goals for a fitness shoot I did with Nicholas Dawkes. It was definitely hard work and it felt great seeing the results!
 
What really goes on behind the scenes as a model?
It starts well before the photoshoot. Staying fit and making sure your body is in the shape that you want takes time and consistency. As far as the photoshoot itself goes, there are instances when you spend lots of time on one type of shot and other situations when you just experiment with movement and variation more. Sometimes getting the best pose is as easy as a natural movement of the body; other times it can feel unnatural and difficult but look kick ass on film. An example of this is perhaps a fitness shoot, where you are constantly tensing your muscles to increase definition, which is quite the challenge!
 
Which photographers in the industry do you most enjoy working with?
I love photographers who are willing to experiment and do what it takes to get the shot. Like I touched upon before, Fay and Olga both had this attitude and weren’t afraid to get down in the mud to get a great shot (with Olga we even had to climb a fence!). I think this is important because that is also the attitude I bring to the shoot. They are also both creative and inspired which is a joy to work with. And did I mention they are both lovely too?!

Nicholas Dawkes is also one of the loveliest photographers I have ever met. He specialises in actors’ headshots but also did a fitness shoot with me. He is an absolute pro at what he does- he just knows how to make you look good and keep you laughing the entire time!

Who would you say is your 'style muse'?
Because of my eclectic approach to style, I wouldn’t say I have a particular ‘style muse’. I get inspired by loads of sources, whether it’s a magazine advert, characters on tv or even people on the street – style is diverse and all around us. Don’t get me wrong- I love seeing what the celebs have worn on the latest red carpet, but when you live in London any street can be a red carpet.
 
Your favourite designer is… ?
I wouldn’t say I have a favourite designer. I have never really been crazy for designer brands. I think what they produce is great and of excellent quality but I think what you get on the high street can be just as visually appealing. I do love watching shows like Project Runway though, where you see the creative and artistic process a designer actually goes through. At the end of the day, I’d say I like designers who know how to work with the female form and celebrate and enhance those curves.
 
Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar?
Both- I just love flipping through the adverts and seeing unique concepts for photoshoots and how different models pose.

It was just last week, that we once again discovered a model at German model and photographer community Model-Kartei.de.

Up and coming model and fitness trainer Sabine Bauer from Austria is an eyecatcher, whether she shows up in pants and black leather outdoors or in a long light dress on the catwalk.

Get your own impression of Sabine by taking a look at her photos and reading the interview with her.

What’s been the highlight of your career so far?
To my highlights I actually would count every single shooting, to which I was invited. However, if I had to list a certain highlight, it would be the model competition "Austrias next topmodel" in the year 2015, where I was allowed to represent my region in Austria as 1st runner up.

Tell us about some of your recent shoots.
I recently had a studio shooting with Harald Manzer on fashion. It was a funny shoot with great variations.

Who would you say is your 'style muse'?
Lena Gercke


Your favourite designer is… ?
I’m just saving money for a Michael Kors bag.


If you could be anywhere else but here, where would you go?
New York and Maledives

She is not the common type of model, you normally discover on the German internet community Model-Kartei.de. Midoris Romay, the model, we like to introduce you today, lives in Bavaria's capital Munich in the south of Germany, but born she is in Havana, Cuba. Cause of her special look we noticed her immediately by scrolling through the new entries on Model-Kartei.de. Take a look yourself at her photos and learn more about Midoris by reading our interview with her.

What’s been the highlight of your career so far?
I think, that I haven't reached yet the highlight of my career, but I do had great moments and memories working with very know singers (Mohombi, Willy Williams, Alexander "Gente de Zona, Da Candy) and some others.

Tell us about some of your recent shoots.
Recently I have been in Cuba, where I recorded a new music video and some photoshoots, also have done a photoshoot with an incredible known photographer in Germany for a big project that is in process. I shooted for a Latino's magazine in Spain and other shoots.
 
What really goes on behind the scenes as a model?
Behind the scenes is craziness lol there you can see and feel the most unbelievable things that you can imagine. 
 
Which photographers in the industry do you most enjoy working with?
I love to work with photographers that love their jobs, ppl with passion, I don't have a "type" I'm always trying new things because I want to live new experiences, to explore beyond the thinkable!

Is there any particular designer piece you are crushing on right now?
The Reem Acra dress that Jlo used at the People Choice Awards this year.
 

What do you hope to be doing in the next 5 years?
In the next 5 years I want to finish my career as a business woman but also want to be a good known model and a better person than I'm today. I hope to be doing what I really love business and modeling.
