Model of the Month | Julian Hennig, Round II

Do you have any fond mem­o­ries from work­ing with a spe­cific photographer?

Julian Hen­nig: I shot a very arty edi­to­r­ial with Mar­i­ano Vivanco and Nicola Formichetti just a few months after I began mod­el­ing and I think the work turned out great and is very dif­fer­ent from every­thing else I’ve shot. But the same goes for a lot of the other great pho­tog­ra­phers I had the oppor­tu­nity to work with, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel and Terry Richard­son in particular.

If you could do any­thing career wise, what would you do?

Julian Hen­nig: I have never done shows in New York because I don’t agree with many design­ers only doing “trade” instead of actu­ally pay­ing a salary. Lov­ing New York as a city so much makes me won­der if I shouldn’t do at least one sea­son just for the expe­ri­ence of a show sea­son there.

How was your time as a D&G boy?

Julian Hen­nig: A lot of fun. It felt good to not only be the “Prada boy” any­more (though that was a ton of fun, too). Work­ing with Mario Testino was always hilar­i­ous and we shot at some very neat loca­tions such as a ruin in Berlin, a very stately home/​park in south Eng­land and best of all on a yacht on the Seine cruis­ing through Paris.

What do you see your­self doing in the future if you could do anything?

Julian Hen­nig: I am start­ing to grow fond of the idea to con­tinue work­ing within the fash­ion indus­try later on. Out­side of fash­ion world, I could imag­ine work­ing in Brazil at some point and start my own busi­ness because I see many busi­ness oppor­tu­ni­ties there (with Brazil being one of the fastest grow­ing economies in the world).
