Model of the Month | Popular on the Runway – Philipp Bierbaum

Walk­ing down a cat­walk seems like a sim­ple task, but what do you do when the lights come up, hun­dreds of peo­ple are a mere feet away and you have to main­tain a con­stant pace? Accord­ing to Philipp Bier­baum, “Hon­estly, noth­ing. You go out, turn (mostly left!), go back and that’s it.” How­ever, not every cat­walk is a smooth expe­ri­ence. Philipp explained one occa­sion where he “for­got to spit [out his] chew­ing gum before enter­ing the cat­walk, noticed half way and stopped chew­ing.” With all atten­tion on him, Philipp con­tin­ued, “I guess that the audi­ence was won­der­ing what was wrong with me even though I hope that no one noticed…that was my only high­light on the catwalk.”
