Fortunately for male models, push pins and heels are not a hazard of the profession. The fun captured backstage at shows often extends into the real world. As Philipp Bierbaum relates, one of his favorite bookings–this past season’s Marina Yachting campaign “was maybe not the biggest shoot I had but definitely the most fun. We were in Capri for three days. I was there with Gerhard (Freidl) and Gordon (Bothe) who are two of my best friends in this business. We’ve known each other for three years now and if we are in the same town, we most of the time stick together, probably because we always share the same apartment…To be honest we always do crazy stuff and always have a lot of fun.”
