Who: Christian Gherhard, from Romania.
Why: This handball player was discovered in the Hamburg metro by Yannis of Place Models, who describes him as a “rock Jesus”. And we can really appreciate Christian’s heavenly good looks. Christian’s beauty is idiosyncratic – very strong features and blue/green eyes offset by his quirky ears. We predict that Christian will become a new world religion!
Where: Place Models in Hamburg.

Who: Mario Bonath, from Berlin, Germany.
Why: Mario is a Berlin boy with leading man looks and a lot of charisma. Mario’s cheekbones, strong jawline, aquiline nose and blue/green eyes are a perfect combination. An ultimate male model (classic, but not corny), super Mario has the goods.
Where: Place Models in Hamburg.

Who: Juri Simon, 19, from Hamburg, Germany.
Why: Hamburg homeboy Juri has a distinctive look which immediately captures attention. This brooding blond has already done some world traveling, but we’re hoping the next place he visits is a fashion capital!
Where: Place Models in Hamburg.

Who: Vanessa Hegelmaier, from Hamburg, Germany.
Why: A mathematics student from Hamburg, the numbers are all adding up for Vanessa. With a strong first show season behind her, Vanessa is off to an exciting start in NY. This girl has a look that is both powerful and elegant.
Where: Place Models in Hamburg / IMG in NY & Paris / Why Not Model Management in Milan.

We are just transfixed by Katharina Friedrich, and you’ll understand why simply by viewing her polaroids taken by mother agency Place Models. Signed with Supreme Management and Women in Paris and Milan, Katharina has amazing bone structure that translates into old school total beauty. Recently on the catwalks of Moschino and Cavalli, Katharina is the kind of girl we want to see everywhere! View more info on Katharina’s profile.

When 15 year old Karolina Schwabova was discovered she was having a really bad hair day! Scouted at an Elite Model Look casting in Slovakia, Karolina’s strong beauty overwhelmed despite having hair in 4 different hues and a horror cut. This now brunette intense beauty is with Elite Prague, Elite Paris and Place Models in Hamburg. New York, Milan and London agencies, start your bidding now! View more info on Karolina’s profile.

Sixteen year old Eliza Duca was discovered early this year in her hometown of Chisinau, Moldova. Nicknamed “Panther” by her mother agency Mandarina Models, Eliza has worked very hard over the past few months to become both camera and runway ready. We are completely wild about her sleek, dark and intense glamour. Oh Eliza! View more info on Eliza’s profile.

Fabulous fraulein Nastasia Sedlig is a stunning newcomer from Berlin. With Place Models, Nastasia has finished school and is ready to go global. We love her dramatic bone structure and almost severe elegance. Nastasia is the poster girl for uber cool. Keep an eye out for this Berlin bombshell! View more info on Nastasia’s profile.

Benedikt Schich is a Hamburg boy with the lot – style, charisma and total cuteness all rolled into one. Discovered by Place Models, Benedikt’s strong lines are classically handsome. Whether he’s dressed down or dressed up, there’s no mistaking this pretty boy’s potential. View more info on Benedikt’s profile.
