With a name as striking as her camera-ready features, German
eye-catcher Antonia Wesseloh took her first step into the modeling world after
making a standout runway debut during Berlin Fashion Week back in 2011,
where she walked for brands such as Escada.
According to her own statement, the now nineteen year-old stunner was always
interested in fashion and tried to apply at several agencies when she
was just fourteen years of age. She was then discovered by Hamburg giant
Modelwerk, the same agency which a number of years earlier introduced
her fellow countrywoman Toni Garrn to the fashion industry. So it did not take
long before big-name designer houses started knocking on Wesseloh’s doorstep
and advertisements came pouring in. Shot by none other than the widely
renowned fashion photographer Steven Meisel, the first major campaign for
which the nonchalant beauty was recruited was for the Autumn/Winter 2011
collection of the Italian luxury label most models can only dream of fronting;
Prada.
The five-foot-ten-inch mannequin thereafter had the privilege of working once
again with the noted American lensman, this time for her introductory appearance
in the pages of Vogue Italia, arguably considered by most the crème de
la crème of all international editions of the highly saught-after fashion bible, in
its July 2011 number. Subsequently that year, the charming brunette with the
hooded blue eyes and porcelain complexion made her grand international
catwalk debut, taking the “Big Four” Fashion Weeks of New York, London,
Milan and Paris by storm with a total of thirty-five combined shows which
included prominent high-end brands such as Anna Sui, Balenciaga, Chanel,
Giles, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Prabal Gurung, Prada, Miu Miu and Valentino.
Determined to extend her mark in the modeling scene, Wesseloh has continued
to grace top fashion publications, campaigns and runway spectacles
across the numerous style capitals of the world.
