'Modelwerk' - Hamburg

At 5'10" with long, flowing blonde hair and stunning blue eyes, Modelwerk's Toni Garrn is on the road to becoming one of the world's most sought-after supermodels.
Though she was only spotted two years ago, various high-profile campaigns transformed this German stunner into an overnight sensation, after which she began receiving unbelievable recognition by the world’s biggest designers and was later selected to be the new Calvin Klein girl in 2008.
By now, Toni had appeared on the cover of the Russian, German and Italian Vogue and walked the catwalks for a veritable who’s who of the big names, including Gucci, Karl Lagerfeld, Versace, Fendi, John Galliano, Gianfranco Ferré, Prada, among many others. Apart from being one of the most stunning and beautiful models on FMD, Toni has also a great personality. This combination may be one reason among others why find her in the Top150 of the IFDAQ and decided to interview her...
