The jury has two new faces and two familiar faces

This year again, the girls will be supported and promoted by a professional and experienced jury. The four-man jury accompanies all participants on their way and will do everything to get the best out of their protégés. At the end of each episode they decide who was convincing and for whom the dream of the title “Curvy Supermodel 2018” is unfortunately over.

Curvy Model Angelina Kirsch

Already for the third time the German Curvy model Angelina Kirsch sits in the jury. It is highly successful in Germany and internationally and represents brands such as Zalando and H&M. She knows exactly how the business works and what is expected of the girls. At the same time Angelina can put herself in the shoes of the young candidates and support them personally.

Jan Kralichka: The Men Model

Yan Kralichka will be there for the first time in 2018. He became famous through the TV show ” der Bachelor” in 2013, but even before that he was already in front of the camera, because he is a professional model.  Through his experience he has the best tips for the girls in front of the camera.

Jana Ina Zarella for Power!

The second woman on the jury is Jana Ina Zarella. She is a model, TV presenter and designer, a real multi-talent. The participants can judge her through her versatile career from different points of view but also help to try themselves out. She was already with Curvy Supermodels last year and was so enthusiastic about the development of the girls that she definitely wanted to be part of the jury again in 2018.

Oliver Tienken is coach, choreographer and dancer

Oliver Tienken completes the jury this year. As a successful coach, choreographer and dancer he will rehearse great performances with the girls. From him they learn how to move as a successful model and present themselves on the catwalk to be successful. Oliver knows how to do it! He ran across the runway ready with Naomi Campbell.

What must the Curvy supermodel 2018 bring?

charisma and self-confidence! A very important topic, because a Curvy model must be able to inspire people and get them on their way. She must be able to present herself and her body self-confidently and above all with pride. Discipline and ambition are also part of it. It’s often a tough job and you really have to want it to be on top. It is important to fight for one’s dreams and to keep working on oneself and improving. It is a job where you should always be in top form to satisfy the customers, you have to be able to deal with precipitation and sometimes stamina. One of the most important things about a Curvy model is of course the curves. A beautiful hourglass silhouette and no hunger hook is sought. There is no minimum size and no exactly specified dimensions. You can take part from 16 years upwards there is no limit. 2016 was the oldest participant 32.

The last episodes decided about the big chance

More than 5,000 girls applied for the show this year. On the basis of the application photos, the jury made a pre-selection and invited the more than 50 girls selected to the casting in Düsseldorf. The girls were allowed to put together their outfits themselves without any specifications and so some walked down the catwalk in evening wear and others in bikinis. As a surprise, the girls received professional make-up and hairstyling before their performance. Then we went onto the catwalk for each one separately. To go one round further, the girls had to convince at least three jurors. For the girls who did it, it went directly to round 2, where they had to present themselves in a group walk, the difficulty was that it was a photo shoot at the same time. In the end Ines, Victoria, Tessa, Larissa, Tessa and Yolanda made it to the next round.

In the second casting there was the same principle and the same Prerequisites as a model. Before the Canadians came onto the catwalk, a voice message recorded by them was played on which they introduced themselves and tell what influenced them and thus made them a strong, self-confident woman. They also completed a rehearsed group catwalk in round 2.

In the next episode the last potential models will be selected! It’s the last casting of this season and then it really starts! In the last casting, touching stories of models who talk about the negative experiences with their bodies await us once again.

The last winners of Curvy Supermodels

The first season 2016 was won by 23-year-old Celine Denefleh. She was present throughout the season and delivered. All in all, she had the greatest development of the participants and gave the jury goose bumps. The 23-year-old was delighted with a great model contract with Ted Linows Model Agency and became the face of a winter campaign for a well-known plus-size fashion label.

In 2017 Hanna Wilperath surprisingly won the title. She wasn’t one of the favourites but that only strengthened her fighting spirit. The 24-year-old convinces with her naturalness and her motto “The curve with the most sex appeal is your smile”.

This year the winner is expecting a cover and a model contract

This year the winners of the show will be on the cover of the German fashion magazine “Joy”. In addition, she is awarded a model contract by Peyman Amin’s renowned agency Pars Management.

TV casting shows: trade privacy for some more

Fast money does not exist

A little preface to the casting shows: Of course, there are many great models on the shows. If you want to try your hand at a casting show, do it. But it’s also worth briefly considering the pros and cons of TV shows. Every year, thousands of contestants and candidates come to live auditions to prove their talent. What many of them are looking for is the big stage as a self-promoter. What modeling agencies are looking for are models who take the job seriously. If you are a model in the context of a TV show, you have an everlasting stamp. Casting shows are a two-sided sword for young models. On one hand they promise you big success, on the other they put you in extreme situations for good visuals. The fast money doesn’t exist. Fast money always comes with trade-offs here: Loss of privacy, uncontrolled footage and extreme situations that are then aired abbreviated. Many see casting shows as a stepping stone. But they only bring you short-term success, if at all. In addition you get an eternal stamp as “the one from show XY”. Many customers will no longer book you.

In real life, you can’t bitch on the shoot set or argue with the other models. You can only do that on TV. Drama, drama, drama. As viewers, we then enjoy curious contestants. TV shows should not be your path. Who has long-term success? Three or four out of tens of thousands? TV shows are designed for a season, not a career.

Fast money always comes with sacrifices. Many see TV casting shows as a stepping stone. Yet they only bring you short-term success, if any at all: and yes, an eternal stamp in the industry. Many clients may not book you again. Every year, thousands of candidates and contestants come to live auditions to prove their talent. What many of them are looking for is the big stage as a self-promoter. What model agencies are looking for are models who take the job seriously. In real life you can’t bitch on the shooting set or argue with the other models. That’s only possible on TV, when that’s exactly your job: drama. As viewers, we are then happy to see curious candidates. TV shows should not be your path. Who has long-term success? Three or four out of tens of thousands? TV shows are designed for a season, not a career.

For model: Love your job, not the big stage

In the modeling industry, many “just want to be on the cover of VOGUE”. That modeling is really work, many do not understand at first. The cover of “VOGUE” is an absolutely beautiful goal. But at first it doesn’t have much to do with the everyday life of a model. Your everyday life consists of commercials, online shops and lookbooks. You stand on the set for eight or more hours and are the only person who has to smile all the time. Over and over again. Until your book is so good and your agency likes you so much that you get the chance to do your first magazine shootings. But it’s a long way to the cover.

Models who make it to Vogue love their job. Models love to work on showrooms, are happy to be on photo shoots and incidentally motivate the whole production team with their positive energy. They work hard on their careers for years without much attention. They often start small in their own country. After school they go abroad. They live in model shared flats with three, four or five strangers from different countries. Without constant conflicts, of course. This is the everyday life of a model.

The way is the goal – also for models

Models who lose sight of the path quickly fall by the wayside. If you want to make your first steps to work as a model, you must be able to honestly assess your own skills and talents. Only if you assess your own possibilities well, you can plan your way as a model well.
