Model of the Month | Julian Hennig

Before the spring 2007 show sea­son got under­way, Julian Hen­nig received a strange mes­sage on Myspace. He had been con­tacted by Singapore-​​based pho­tog­ra­pher Skye Tan, who inquired about him get­ting into mod­el­ing. Julian did not take him seri­ously, but after con­tin­ued sug­ges­tions, he finally caved in and went to visit Berlin agency Viva. Not con­sid­er­ing him­self right for mod­el­ing, Julian was unsure of him­self, but he was quickly signed, flown into Paris three days later for fash­ion week and the rest is his­tory. From a debut at Yves Saint Lau­rent to the cov­eted open­ing spot at Hedi Slimane’s Dior show, Julian kicked his career off with a bang, going on to become a famil­iar face, known for his numer­ous cam­paign appear­ances for Prada as well as D&G. This month, we will be get­ting to know more about the Ger­man model as we dig into his expe­ri­ences, past and present.
