Featuring Eddie Ness, Falco Bartsch, Felix Bayertz, Fritz Richter, Jakob Wiechmann, Jakob Wilhelm, Julian Kassler, Leander Kirschner, Lorcan, Malte Grunicke, Romain Prevost, Vincent Mank and Vincent Taeger, Fischer’s latest work exudes great charm and personality.
Eddie Ness on his favorite food, “I’m a model, haha! Maybe a Japanese detox-soup once a week!”
Jakob Wiechmann
Eddie Ness, Vincent Taeger & Vincent Mank
Lorcan on his extra-curricular activities, “I like 2 party a lot. Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll”
Felix Bayertz on reasons you should visit Berlin, “The Zehlendorf lakes : Krumme Lanke and Schlachtensee. Because, if I have a lot of time I can easily go swimming in summer and ice-skating in winter.”
Falco Bartsch on being a nerd, “I study business informatics…That’s what I wanna to do!”
Romain Prevost on his free time, “Clubbing.. hanging around.. fucking around… kiffing around…”

Malte Grunicke on the perfect breakfast, “Bans, scrambled eggs, lots of meat and cheese, orange juice, coffee and cigarettes.”
Vincent Taeger & Lorcan
Vincent Mank on his plans outside modeling, “After graduating High School, I’d like to go traveling, modeling, or maybe volunteer work in India, and then after a year or two, I want to go on studies. But don’t ask me which ones please.”
Julian Kassler on his personal style, “My style in some words is sporty, casual with some stylish elements like scarves, hats, or great sunglasses. Something between Paul Smith, Weekdays and Quiksilver.”
Jakob Wilhelm on his favorite place, “Berlin-Kreuzberg/Friedrichshain at the Oberbaumbrücke. I just enjoy the whole surrounding, all the graffiti and the Spree-view.”
Leander Kirschner on his favorite shoot, “When Enzo Laera shoot me while I was walking down jannowitzbruecke only wearing underwear!”
Vincent Taeger on being discovered, “Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist) shot a picture of me while I was walking through the city of Berlin. A few weeks later a friend called me and said I am in Vanity Fair mag. After that Nine Daughters and a Stereo plus a good friend of mine wanted to be my mother agency…but now I am truly in love with VIVA Models Berlin.”
