Marketing, Coach, Protagonist, Manager, Founder

FIV. Hello dear Michael, thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions about yourself and your agency. Maybe you can tell our readers a little bit about yourself first. What has been your career so far and your professional successes? What did you study and why did you choose this industry?

Michael: I studied communications with a focus on marketing and communications and completed training as a business and life coach. I was able to gain leadership experience in the areas of marketing, sales and HR at an early stage and worked in various consumer goods industries, for which I am still grateful today. In addition, I have worked for various TV productions and broadcasters. From casting protagonists to casting presenters, there was a lot involved. During my time in advertising, I had a small online start-up on the side, which worked well, but unfortunately did not bring in any money – my first failure, so to speak. laughs I was able to gain further experience in the field of people and model management and I worked as an independent coach, while in 2013 I founded one of the first talent management agencies with partners, which also covered the digital component in the placement of advertising and talent. In 2020, we parted ways. With mf-mgmt I founded a new agency, which is still specialized in talent management, but has a completely new focus and different content.

Model management: foundation, tips, experiences

FIV: How did you get the idea to start your own business? Was there a specific moment or have you been thinking about starting your own business for a while?

Michael: I started working on the side very early on and tried different things on my own as well. But the decision is generally always based on my convictions. If I’m convinced of something, then I have to implement it and try it out. The content of the agency is the sum of my collected experiences and adventures. Both the positive and the negative.

FIV: You’ve had some experience and you’ve certainly had your ups and downs. What would you recommend to new people in the industry? Do you have any tips you can give us?

Michael: It’s important to stay true to yourself and not sell yourself. The more successful you become, the bigger the tasks and problems become and the harder it is to shape the internal structure in a way that suits everyone. But probably the most important tip is to always try to look at the values of those you work with. Ideally beforehand.

FIV: What was your greatest success so far? What do you always remember fondly and what are you particularly proud of?

Michael: Oha … Over the years there have certainly been a lot of different things that have been successful, but also a lot of things that have not been successful, of course. But I guess my answer is different than you’d expect: Over a period of time, I coached people who had different, deeper issues for free. It was very emotional, honest, and grateful (on both sides). I’m proud of that.

Success or happiness?

FIV: What is more important to you: professional success or happiness? What is your opinion on this?

Michael: My job makes me happy, so I don’t really have to ask myself that question. But since you’re asking it: happiness! Because I know that I live healthier when I am happy. Career success without being happy means “gut wrenching” and at worst, draws health consequences. Especially during my active coaching days, I’ve unfortunately witnessed the consequences all too often in others and it’s not worth it. It is even worse when ego and profile neuroses are added … Both often go hand in hand with the need to want to stand outwardly for professional success and to be recognized (in short “show”). From a lack of social competence to illnesses (physical or psychological), everything can be observed here as a consequence. In my opinion, no one can really want that and yet it happens frequently.

Private life, hobbies & conservation

FIV: Do you have a professional role model? Is there a particular person you look up to or admire professionally?

Michael: I find some personalities exciting and respect them, but I would not speak of role models now. One of these personalities is, for example, the journalist Dirk Steffens. He is constantly campaigning for the protection of species, educating people and working to ensure that this absolutely important issue is enshrined in the German constitution. This because he has recognized that otherwise we will probably get far-reaching problems with food in the future due to our population density. Both for us and for future generations, honestly addressing this issue should be one of the most important tasks.

FIV: Your everyday life can certainly be stressful and quite busy. Do you still have time for your private life? What about hobbies?

Michael: I already work a lot, but I also make sure that I take time off and have time for myself. Admittedly – I spend more time with my job, but that’s okay. Because of the pandemic, I discovered kayaking on the Alster for myself last year. One of my best friends got me to order an inflatable kayak from Amazon. No sooner said than done, we had a lot of fun! I will be doing that again this year. Apart from that, I’m busy with, who would be surprised: species conservation.

FIV: We’d like to know a little more about you as a person. Tell us something about your daily routine. Do you have certain rituals? How do you relax after a stressful day?

Michael: I relax anti-cyclically. This means that I go running early in the morning, do sports and take enough time for a healthy, vegan breakfast with vitamins. Personally, I really can’t start the day any more relaxed than this. I have peace and fresh air in the morning. Body and mind get what they need and so I have enough power until late evening, sometimes even into the night.

FIV: Thank you for taking the time to answer some questions. FIV Magazine and I wish you all the best for the future and stay healthy

Angelina Lilienne: Hotspots in Berlin & Motivation from Community

FIV: You have over 500,00 subscribers on Instagram – the focus on your channel is on beauty, fashion and lifestyle. It’s probably a great feeling when you know that your followers are behind you and like what you post, right?

Angelina: Absolutely! I am incredibly grateful for all the support and encouragement from my community and of course for the interest in my content. This motivates me every day anew to produce inspiring stories and posts.

FIV: You currently live in Berlin. You are probably on the road quite a lot, especially because of your job. Do you have any favorite places to hang out? If so, can you name 3 of your favorite hotspots in the capital?

Angelina: Basically I’m on the road a lot, that’s true. But unfortunately that’s not possible due to the current situation with the Corona pandemic. Nevertheless, I like to spend a lot of time outside, go for a walk, jog or just get a Smoothie To Go. My favourite place to be is Charlottenburg. The Kudamm or Gendarmenmarkt are great for that.

“I think that’s exactly what was the key to my success” – Angelina on unexpected life in the public eye

FIV: How did you actually get started with Instagram so intensely? Was it your plan to live the way you currently do? Instagram puts you in the public eye a lot – yet you try to keep your personal life private as much as you can. Do you ever wish you had a job that wasn’t so public? If so, what would it be?

Angelina: I never expected to be a full-time influencer one day. I also think that was exactly the key to my success. It was totally unexpected and took me completely by surprise. I am super happy to be able to share my everyday life with my amazing community, however, I keep my private life out of it as much as I can. Certain things should just stay private and I’m doing quite well with that.

FIV: You produce content every day – I don’t imagine it’s that easy to always have new ideas for posts. Do you have role models that inspire you? People or your own motivations that you regularly keep in mind? If so, what would they be?

Angelina: It has also happened that I run out of ideas…. Luckily my girls always inspire me with new ideas. Otherwise, my outfits are mostly of my own creation. I have a few profiles that I like to look at and get inspiration from every now and then. But that I follow someone meticulously is not the case. I prefer to do my own thing and that’s also what my community appreciates about my profile.

Angelina’s tips for balanced nutrition & sport: How to achieve your dream body

FIV: On your profile you give – besides your super beautiful style – some insights into your diet and fitness. Can you name 5 things that one should consider for a healthy and balanced diet? Do you have a certain routine, that is, what should not be missing in the morning, at noon and in the evening?

Angelina:

• I eat 3 meals a day and 2 small snacks (fruit, nuts) in between.
• Fluids form the basis of a healthy and balanced diet: 1.5/2 litres per day – water and unsweetened tea are ideal.
• I make sure my intake of unhealthy (!) fats, carbs & sugars is low, as these components are high in calories and low in vitamins, as well as minerals. Good carbs like quinoa, wild rice, sweet potato/potatoes I love to eat. Giving up sugar is a bit difficult for me especially in times of gingerbread…:)
• I avoid dairy products (they slow down the muscle building process).
• In any case, you should not starve, it destroys the metabolism.

FIV: You seem to do sports regularly – as one can easily see from your body! How often do you exercise per week and how do you incorporate the workouts into your daily routine? Can you give us 3 tips on how to best conquer your inner pig?:)

Angelina: I also have phases in which it sometimes runs better and sometimes worse. Currently I’m happy when I manage 3 workouts at home. In good times I go to the gym every day and take 1 day off. When you really want something, you quickly develop the motivation and discipline to follow through with sports activities. And the successes push you even more.

FIV: Finally, I have two questions for you: Do you have any specific plans and goals for the future? If yes, which ones? Do you have things that you absolutely want to achieve?

Angelina: Yes! I would love to launch my own fashion collection. That’s something I’ve been dreaming about forever! – Like really cool everyday pieces. But so far these are just thoughts that haven’t made it to fruition yet. But who knows what else will happen….

Career: From creative director at Gucci to fashion designer

Fashion designer Tom Ford is shaping an exciting success story. As a former art student, today’s successful man paved his way to becoming a designer for Gucci and YSL, until he founded his own brand in 2005. We introduce you to Ford’s inspiring career as a famous fashion designer and director.

Youth & Education

Tom Ford was born in Austin, Texas in 1961. In the course of his youth, Ford tried out many courses of study, including art history and art, which, however, did not make him happy. Even at a young age, the 59-year-old was interested in fashion. Thus, in his early 20s, Ford applied for internships with well-known designers, eventually landing a much-coveted internship with fashion label Chloé. During this time, he moved to Los Angeles where, in addition to many internships, he also took on modeling jobs, mostly for television commercials.

However, Tom Ford was determined to have a degree, so after his time in LA he decided to study architecture at Parsons School of Design in New York. He completed a year abroad at the French partner university in 1984 and 1985. Since Fort had discovered his passion for fashion, he took all his electives in fashion design. In 1986, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in architecture and interior design.

Marc Jacobs, Chloé, Gucci & YSL

For Tom Ford, designer Calvin Klein has always been a great role model. After his internship at Chloé, Fort was sure: he also wanted to enter the fashion industry to become a designer. After graduating from Parsons, he applied to Calvin Klein several times but was not hired. He had luck with the Korean designer Cathy Hardwick, where he worked for her in New York as a design assistant. Ford landed a second success in 1988 with Marc Jacobs, who hired him as a designer for the Perry Ellis jeans line.

But how did Tom Ford get his job as creative director at luxury brand Gucci? Ford was recruited 12 years after working at Marc Jacobs, by former Bergdorf Goodman chief buyer Dawn Mello to work for Gucci as a designer in Milan. The young designer accepted the job offer and moved to Milan.

Since Ford did his job as a designer at fashion label Gucci very well, he was appointed design director in 1992. Two years later, he was appointed creative director. In 2000, Gucci and fashion brand Yves Saint Laurent merged. Ford took on the role of women’s prêt-à-porter designer at YSL in Paris, in addition to his post at Gucci.

Vogue Interview: Tom Ford’s secret to success

In his interview with Vogue, Tom talks about his career, his success and his motivation as a designer and director.

Emergence of the designer brand Tom Ford

In April 2005, Ford announced the creation of the Tom Ford brand. Domenico De Sole, who was former president and CEO of Gucci Group, joined Fort. In the same year, the designer announced that he would collaborate with the Markolin Group to manufacture and sell eyeglass frames and sunglasses. He also formed an alliance with Estée Lauder to co-create the Tom Ford beauty brand. In 2007, his first flagship store opened at 845 Madison Avenue in New York. The opening ceremony coincided with the debut of Tom Ford’s men’s and accessories collection. The long-awaited showcase of the womenswear collection took place in September 2010. Since then, the Tom Fort brand has enjoyed a strong reputation, with quality and elegance combining to create a luxury fashion label. With his previous experience at Gucci, YSL and Marc Jacobs, the designer had the perfect prerequisites to start his own brand.

From fashion designer to film director

In 2009, the designer created the film “A Single Man”. Many then wondered why Ford suddenly became a director instead of just focusing on the fashion business. What many didn’t know, however, was that Tom Ford sees himself as a designer whose true artistic side lives from filmmaking. Doubts about his film career were finally laid to rest when it became known that the designer was making his directorial debut for the famous actors Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. Seven years later, Ford released “Nocturnal Animals,” his long-awaited second film. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams, the designer once again created a highly acclaimed film, which even earned him a Golden Globe nomination for his direction.

Family & Spouse

The now 59-year-old designer, has lived with Richard Buckley since 1987. Buckley, former editor-in-chief of Vogue Hommes International, met Ford at a fashion show in 1986. At the time, Richard Buckley was living in Paris but moved to Italy to join Ford as he was suffering from cancer. The editor-in-chief gave up his job at Vogue as the commute became u exhausting for him with his illness.

Tom and Richard became parents for the first time in 2012. Together they gave birth to their son Alexander John Buckley Ford in Los Angeles. Two years later, the couple decided to get married. Now the fashion designer lives with his family alternately in Los Angeles, London and New York.

Shay Mitchell’s house in Los Angeles

The 33-year-old actress decided four years ago to settle down in a glamorous 1920s house on the West Side of Los Angeles. The property is known for its Mediterranean style, which is characterized by round entrances, colored tiles and open spaces. Shays goal was to design the house exactly to her taste: cozy and unique. But not only she, but also partner Matte Babel and daughter Atlas share the Spanish-inspired villa. The actress worked with numerous interior designers to make her dream house come true. But none of them could convince Shay as much as her friend and stylist Chad Wood, who arranged suitable pieces of furniture for her. He knew Shay’s taste and knew that she had a soft spot for old pieces of furniture. The 30-year-old has a special eye for decoration and visited various vintage stores to make the Canadian’s villa perfect. Her love of traveling, as well as a lot of already existing furniture should be included in the design of the house.

“Once I walked inside, I fell in love.”

revealed Shay Mitchell Architectural Digest.

Chad Wood: Friend, Architect & Stylist

But Chad Wood is not only known as a stylist. He is also famous for his talent as an interior designer, which he demonstrated at Shay Mitchell’s house. For the actress Chad is also her best friend, stylist, florist, painter and even as a cook he helps the brunette. He selected numerous decorative items and furniture for her. Among them are an old tree stump that serves as a side table, round wooden lamps and a dark green velvet sofa. The designer made almost all his finds in the LA Pop Up Home Store. This is a vintage boutique for home furnishings, from golden candlesticks to giant wooden cabinets.

Here you can see the location of Shays house:

Characteristics of the house

The property of Pretty Little Liars is limited to a large entrance area, a kitchen, a dining area, two living rooms, a room for her own small bar, her bedroom as well as her daughter’s, several bathrooms and a cozy outdoor area including a swimming pool. Another highlight of the house: the numerous small balconies that line the inside of the property. All these rooms have a Moroccan or Spanish flair, which Shay likes very much. It makes your entire home feel cosy and at home. The character of the house abounds with uniqueness, which the Canadian is more than proud of. Until the birth of her daughter, the house was often rearranged and redesigned: The then dark red wooden floor was bleached and the fireplace painted white. Now, new decorative items often trundle in, but the basic finishing touches to the house are done! Perfect timing, right?

Interested in Shay Mitchell’s house? Then check out her house tour here:

House Tour: A tour of Shay’s estate

In the entrance area the huge chandelier immediately catches the eye. It has a total of 450 kilos of crystals and is enthroned in the middle of the room. High green plants line the area and the high ceiling, as well as the vaulted entrances give the entrance area the finishing touch. Turquoise tiles on the stairs underline the Moroccan flair of the house. White painted walls and golden doorknobs complete the design of hab. The chandelier was probably owned by Shay for quite a while, but he never knew how to hang it up correctly. Now it found its place here. On we go to the living room of the actress, of which she owns two!

The living room

Shays living rooms have one thing in common: they are both unique. While one is more in darker colors, the other shines in light tones. Sexy and cosy: Shay Mitchell proves that this is possible. Grey painted walls, high bookshelves and a dark green velvet sofa are the heart of this room. Once again characteristic are the round entrances and high ceilings, which also give this room a Mediterranean style. The books in the individual shelves, sorted by color, give the living room a certain order, although at the same time it looks a bit messy. Many cozy living accessories can be found in Shays rooms, including colorful decorative cushions, numerous candleholders and small plants. Meanwhile, her other living space is characterized by a fresh, bright appearance including golden details. Several vintage pieces have found their place in this room, like a giant marble table or a lamp that Shay got from Morocco.

The kitchen

Shay Mitchell’s kitchen radiates a sense of security: tiled walls, dark brown wooden furniture and many lamps fill the room. A cooking island and a huge refrigerator are essential for the 33-year-old. Everything was refined with golden details and once again many small plants.

“I remember that the agent sent me a link, and I realized the kitchen was the same that I had saved from years before”,

she said. After her agent showed her some photos of her current house back then, Shay realized that it had the dream kitchen that she had hung on her bulletin board a while ago. This was a sign for the brunette to choose this house. Although she repaired some parts of the kitchen equipment, it did not lose the character it had at the beginning. This room also has many windows, which make the kitchen seem much bigger.

The bedroom

Shays and Partners Mattes bedroom is different from the other rooms. Here the two decided to keep it rather simple. So they did without a lot of decoration, so that the individual objects of the room are better shown to advantage, like the huge box spring bed. A golden mirror attracts attention, as does the side bed of the small alto, which is a must for the family. Once again, a few plants should not be missing to give the room more harmony. Light beige painted walls and a large carpet in front of the bed complete the design.

The room of the common daughter resembles Shays and Mattes bedroom. The walls painted in old pink make the room look very cosy. The actress is more than enthusiastic about the reading corner on the balcony and the picture wall above Atlas’ bed. Photos of her and Mattes vacations together should make the room look more personal.

The outdoor area

Palm trees, big trees and a green meadow invite you to spend a lot of time in Shays garden. Also the colorful tiles on the pool and walls definitely attract attention.

“I don’t really utilize my outdoor space as much as I would like to”,

Shay admitted. But after investing in an outdoor pizza oven she hopes to spend more time there soon. Because why not? An outdoor pool lined with a fountain and several comfortable sunbeds on the lawn definitely invite you to relax!

The actress definitely has a unique taste! Shay is not only happy with her house, but also with her family.

Taylor’s home

Taylor Hill has lived in the cities of Arvada, Los Angeles and New York. But due to the many journeys for her modeling job she is hardly ever at home.

For Taylor, the term home is very important. Maybe this is the reason why one learns so little about her private realm. While other Instagramstars publish house tours on Instagram and YouTube, Taylor keeps a low profile and only offers insights into her private realm through her Instagramstories or posts.

Under the heading ‘Home’ she lets us take a look into her realm. An important protagonist: her dog.

Take a look into Taylor’s closet!

Models are always perfectly styled in front of the cameras: Haute-Couture from big fashion houses. But what does Taylor’s fashion style look like in private? Which pieces of jewelry does she hide? Are we still talking about a closet or a whole dressing room? Here we tell you all about our insights into her closet.

Taylor Hill’s closet is one thing above all: bright, inviting and cosy. A little paradise to go shopping in your own closet every morning. Lovely details, all in simple, bright tones. A large window offers a beautiful view over the streets. Perfect to have a direct look at whether it should be the rain jacket after all!

A small comfortable paradise

When you come in you are greeted by a large round Vogue carpet. Taylor can make herself comfortable on her little grey sofa – and if Taylor does not make herself comfortable, her little dog does. A cute highlight is definitely the small white fur stool, which serves as a table for drinks or magazines.

We all agree: Taylor has good taste not only in fashion but also in interior design!

Black and white pictures on the dresser show Taylor’s love for detail. A stack of books in the dressing room – no surprise for a bookworm like Taylor! We wonder which book she is currently reading. Is it a game-of-thrones volume?

Taylor’s fashion: a dream in all colors

On the left side we see numerous jackets, sweaters and blouses, but Taylor closet is not monotonous. A jacket with leopard pattern is the first thing that catches our eye. Jean pants are stacked in a small cupboard right at the entrance – quite practical.

While other celebrities have entire shoe rooms, Taylor lines up her shoes on shelves above the dresser: sneakers to high heels. A good tip for all shoe lovers who want to keep an eye on their shoes.

Unlike her shoes, Taylor’s handbags are hidden. If you look up, you will find Taylor’s bag collection. From the classic black to a gaudy pink, everything is there! Accessories like numerous hats can be found in the spacious drawers of the chest of drawers.

Taylor’s favorite pieces

Matching the leo jacket, which was an eye-catcher for us, she also has the matching shoes. The shoes are ideal for her: Maybe a little bit unusual, but stylish and individual. Can be combined with everything.

One designer who deserves a place of honor in Taylor’s closet is Alexander Wang. A short leather dress by him is one of her favorites. It is an all-rounder and always a good choice when she doesn’t know what to wear: For the cold months the Instagram Star always has her long black coat at hand. The model has a great love for her small pastel blue Chanel handbag. Next to her dog she is the second great love of her life.

The allrounder: Sunglasses

How do you round off the perfect look? With sunglasses of course! An absolute favorite accessory! Well protected they are kept in the commade and earn their own drawer, because of course different looks make different highlights.

The model has a great love for her small pastel blue Chanel handbag. Besides her dog, she is the second great love of her life.

Victoria Secret? Not only on the catwalk!

Who thinks the angel would wear Victoria Secret only on the catwalk is wrong. Another favorite is a vintage kimono with a flat floral pattern. One of the finest pieces of jewelry made of 100% silk. A piece that she will keep for a long time and will always remind her of her Victoria Secret career.

From dream as a ballet dancer to runway model

Whoever claims that Hailey Bieber always wanted to become a model is unfortunately mistaken. With only 1.72 meters and her former hobby as a ballet dancer, Hailey would never have thought that she would be suitable as a model. She told Vogue in an interview that she often felt inferior to other models because of her size.

“I am smaller than most other models”

Despite all this, she signed a contract with the model agency Ford Models in New York when she was just 18 years old. The reason: Hailey suffered a serious foot injury at a young age, which made a huge difference to her career as a ballet dancer.

Ralph Lauren, Moschino and Tommy Hilfiger-Hailey’s career is going uphill

Bieber’s career has been booming since 2016.  Her face was adorned with covers of magazines like Elle or Vogue and she made her debut on the catwalk of fashion label Topshop. This year Hailey joined IMG Models to accelerate her career as a model. As an advertising face for campaigns of big labels, on catwalks for famous designers and as a cover for numerous magazines; Hailey can be seen everywhere! And no wonder; long legs, expressive face and great figure make the model simply an eye-catcher. In 2017, the blonde was even voted the hottest model in the world by US magazine Maxim. Hailey inherited the beauty gene from her mother Kennya Baldwin, who has Brazilian roots.

Hailey and Justins wedding is making headlines!

Shortly after Selena and Justin’s final separation after years of on-off relationship, Hailey is spotted with the singer. The rumor mill is bubbling. The two already know each other from teenage times, they were even a couple once. In 2016 they separated, and two years later they announced their engagement. And that’s not all, Hailey and Justin are secretly getting married in autumn 2018. In the American show ”The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” Hailey told about their first encounter with Justin. At that time she was only 13 years young, Justin was already 15, and despite Justin’s growing career as a singer, Hailey didn’t know him at all.
Well, it can go that fast! And they look happier than ever.
Despite a recent marriage, two cats and a dog, Hailey’s modeling career does not suffer. On the contrary! Hailey is currently part of Levi’s campaign to encourage young people to vote. But that’s not all, a cover shoot for Indian Vogue and the new face of the cosmetics line BareMinerals are of course not to be missed. The success of the 23-year-old cannot be overlooked! Even joint campaigns with spouse Justin do not harm her career.

What is Hailey Bieber’s fortune? This is how much the model earns

Hailey Bieber is said to have current assets of approximately 2.7 million euros. From dancer to high fashion model and married to pop icon Justin Bieber, Hailey could not be better off. Instagram also plays a major role in her income. With nearly 30 million followers on Instagram, the blonde is popular with numerous companies that want the model as a promotional face for their products. A campaign for fashion label Calvin Klein together with husband Justin Bieber has been a highlight in Hailey’s modeling career.

Sexy and intimate; that is the motto of their joint shooting for designer Calvin Klein. Directly after their wedding, the two of them present themselves in underwear and tight clothes in front of the camera for the then current CK50 campaign. Not only Hailey’s fans are thrilled about her and Justin, the fashion world is crazy about the couple. But not only Calvin Klein uses the couple’s obeseness for their campaigns. Vogue magazine also proudly presents the couple on their covers.

Hailey’s wedding dress: The model looked so gorgeous on the big day!

We all know the numerous Instagram Posts of Haileys wedding dress. But did you know that she changed her dress three times at the wedding? Because why look the same all day long if you can’t get more exciting? It all started with the lace-trimmed wedding dress by designer Virgil Abloh, inventor of the Off White fashion label. To conquer the dance floor after the ceremony, the model changed to a neckholder dress, from the brand Ralph&Russo. But to end the evening perfectly, Hailey slipped into dress number 3, created by American designer Vera Wang.

offspring in the Bieber family h3>
Together with her spouse Justin Bieber, the model is determined to start her own family. Hailey’s older sister Alaia Baldwin had a baby in August 2020 and now Hailey can proudly claim to be the aunt of little Iris. But two cats and a dog are not enough for Hailey; she also wants to start a family with Justin in the near future.

“I love children, and I can’t wait to have my own. I’d say this is now a nearer reality.”

Are they as fast with this as they were with their wedding? We are curious!

Traditional Models? Boring!

Influencers and Bots as models, that is the new trend! Sure, conventional models like Hailey Bieber and Cara Delevigne exist. But are they our future? Influencers and bloggers are beginning to take over this role. Since platforms like Instagram and Tik Tok have become very popular, companies also see their advantage in this. Paid co-operations enable them to sell their products perfectly to the respective age group. The influencer becomes a model, wears the fashion of famous companies like Asos, Junkyard or Zalando and posts pictures or videos with you. The perfect marketing strategy. Interested?

Now there is a new hype: virtual models. They are created on the computer to also take on the role of influencers and advertise for companies. Although there is no real person behind the bots, they have an individual character and lead their own lives. https://socialmediaone.de/virtuelle-influencer-lout-zoe-ella-konkurrenz-lil-miquela-instagram/

How a successful influencer lives

Konstantin Georgakis, better known as Kosta Williams, is an international influencer in the field of fashion, lifestyle and blogging. Born on May 5, 1987 in Germany, the 33 year old measures a proud 1.82 meters and beams with his 80 kilograms and his well-trained muscles, every woman a smile on the lips. Currently he lives with his wife and his first son in a beautiful house with garden near Remscheid. His activities include travelling, shopping, social media and designing his own fashion brand called “Forage”, which he founded last year.

• Height: 182cm
• Weight: 80 kilograms
• Residence: Remscheid

In the meantime, he has hired an extra agency for this due to the mass. Although he is busy with his job 24/7, he takes the time for himself that he needs. Instagram is a never sleeping area, but still Kosta reveals how he can switch off sometimes. He goes to the gym as early as 6am to work out and just clear his head a bit. In addition, he has normal office hours, from 7-15 o’clock in which he is at work, in one of the Düsseldorf offices. The rest of the time he spends with his family trying to switch off. Of course, he never misses the chance to post a story or upload a photo in between, but that’s just part of his job, as the 33-year-old family man reports.

Dream wedding and family home: family with wife & child

As a loving family man he takes care of his newly married wife and his first son who is already several months old. After Kosta and his wife, whose name is still not public, moved into their common house, they decided to have a child together. A few months ago his first child saw the light of day. As a small real family they now live in a cozy but modern family home with a beautiful garden in a quiet location near Remscheid. Before the birth of their first child, he asked her to marry him.

Their wedding was small and private, but no effort was spared to create a stunning and fairytale wedding. His wife appeared in a white A-line wedding dress, with straps and an intricately embroidered top. The bottom was white multi-layered tulle. In addition, she wore a discreet veil that ended with the tulle skirt. Konstantin himself wore a dark suit, with dark patent leather shoes, as well as a tie and a flower brooch made to match the bride’s bouquet. However, the two also had a civil ceremony, where he appears in a dark grey suit and she in a white sporty ankle length dress. To go with the look, she wears a loose ponytail and flat silver and gold shiny shoes.

Model, Blogger, Art Director, Style & Fashion Connoisseur

Nevertheless, Kosta always finds enough time to pursue his passionate hobby, which has now developed into his permanent job. Before his success with Instagram, Youtube and numerous collaborations with well-known and trendy brands, he ran his own small Instagram account with a passion for fashion, beauty and lifestyle. Over time, his follower count grew steadily to the current 732,000 followers. During his growth in followers, he founded a fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog called “The Modern Man” with two of his friends and also Instagrammers and Youtubers, Daniel Fuchs and Sandro Rasa.

In the meantime, this was unfortunately sold and renamed. Fortunately, their fanbase remained and strengthen them in their new projects. As an influencer, he posts an incredible amount of Instagram posts on which he tags the brands he works with. These include brands like Marco Polo, Dior, Gant, Pull&Bear, Puma, Levis, Nike and Zara, but also numerous children’s brands like Cybex, since he has his first son.

Cooperations with:

• Marco Polo
• Dior
• Puma
• Levis
• Nike
• Zara

To his Instagram account, the Remscheider always finds fun in shooting YouTube videos. He himself finds the elaborate shooting of Instagram stories too exhausting and prefers to fall back on the more sympathetic camera. In keeping with his themes, he shares outfit ideas, styling guides, look books, as well as his snagged purchases. Additionally, he regularly answers questions about influencers and fashion. Kosta documents events, his travels and collections in vlogs and thus always keeps his followers up to date.

Cooperation with Zalando – working with old acquaintances

Together with his old friends, Daniel and Sandro, he was cordially invited to a cooperation with the online mail order company Zalando. The three have created a joint collection, as well as conducted numerous interviews and written styling guides. The focus of the collection is sportswear and how it is becoming “socially acceptable”. The garments and accessories are in subtle and sporty colors and shapes, comfortable and flexible.

The three have set themselves the goal of creating an exciting every day look from individual purely sporty things. With the help of accessories they have achieved this with bravura. The collection consists only of sweatpants, hoodies, capies, sneakers and sporty casual jackets like bombers and denim jackets. This collaboration between Zalando and him, he liked so much that he decided to start his own brand. His brand “Forage” is still in the first stages, but some of his clothes are already sold out. In the meantime he has even brought out his third collection.

From hobby to profession – Kostas Instagram career

The dream of every young person, to turn the hobby into a profession. This unintentional dream has come true for Kosta Williams. How exactly he did it, he tells us in an exclusive interview with FIV Magazine.

Kosta’s career as a designer & blogger

A successful Instagram account, with over 732,000 followers, a Youtube Chanel on fashion and lifestyle, as well as his own men’s fashion brand “Forage”. Originally, it all stemmed from his passion. The passion for fashion. Through that, he eventually started posting on Instagram his outfits, mirror selfies at the time. He never thought much of it and didn’t have a specific goal other than sharing his outfits on the platform. Gradually, over the years, a larger and larger community has formed and Kosta has made the whole thing a bit more professional. From now on he shoots with a reflex camera and tries to produce better content.

That’s how it all started. The Youtube channel was added later. Last year, however, for the reason to offer people more added value on a platform where you can simply convey in video form easier and better. He started the fashion brand with Sandro & Daniel in 2018 and it was simply a dream they wanted to fulfill. Kosta himself never planned to be in the public eye. Kosta explains in the interview that he just always followed his passion, which eventually led him there.

Goals for the future: further great cooperations

When asked which cooperation he liked the most, Kosta answered the following: “I have to admit that I actually like working with all my cooperation partners and also choose them carefully. They are all partners I stand behind 100% and therefore I am always convinced of the products. But a special cooperation that comes to my mind now was the summer campaign of Ermenegildo Zegna, which we shot on Capri in Italy. From the team to all the other influencers that were there, everything just fit perfectly.”

Cooperations with:

• Marco Polo
• Dior
• Puma
• Levis
• Nike
• Zara

Men’s fashion: Forage – The mix of comfort & street style

Foundation inspiration

The reason why he founded his brand was that he was always missing something or didn’t like it in already existing companies. As a result, he founded the company “Forage” with three of his friends. They came up with the name by taking the first two letters of their last names and stringing them together. Fox, Rasa and Georgakis became Forage. Besides, all three of them always wanted to have their own fashion label. Designing a collection was always something very special for them.

COLLECTION III – Fashion for men

After his first two collection was a great success, he decided to give promptly to the third collection. And his effort has paid off in full. A hit in the bull’s eye, as he says himself. The third collection, like the first two collections, was half sold out in just a few hours. This collection consisted mainly of creating comfortable yet stylish pieces that fit the current occasion. He himself describes his clothes as simple and timeless must-haves that can be worn whenever, wherever and should not be missing from any man’s wardrobe. Kosta sees every fashion trend as an extension of a basic concept. This means that every trend can be turned into something completely new with just a few accessories, even though it is basic first. The third collection is now online and this time it focuses a bit on coziness and oversized pieces, which is simply the best at this time.

• Comfortable
• Oversize
• Stylich

Kosta Williams Energy Source

His inspiration and his goal are made up of his passion and the interests of his followers. Since his followers tend to be younger, he naturally makes content for this target group. A top topic for his followers and our readers of FIV Magazine is the topic of being stylish on the go at a reasonable price but still with good quality. For our younger readers, Kosta recommends the following two shops in particular. Uniqlo for basics and definitely Zara for something trendy. Especially on his Youtube channel, the 33 year old educates his followers about where you can go shopping with little money, but still with good quality.

Interview: Between passion and job

FIV: A successful Instagram account with over 732,000 followers, a Youtube Chanel on fashion and lifestyle, and your own men’s fashion brand “Forage”, how did it come about? What was your motivation and did you always want to be in the public eye?

Kosta: Originally, everything arose from a passion. The passion for fashion. That’s how I started posting my outfits on Instagram, at that time still mirror selfies. I never thought much of it and didn’t have a “goal” other than sharing my outfits on the platform. Gradually, over the years, a larger and larger community has formed and I have operated the whole thing a little more professionally.

With SLR camera shot and tried to produce better content. That’s how it all started, the Youtube channel came very late (about a year ago) for the reason to offer people more added value on a platform where you can simply convey in video form easier and better. I started the fashion brand with Sandro & Daniel in 2018 and it was simply a dream we wanted to fulfill. I never planned to be in the public eye, I just always followed my passion which eventually led me there.

FIV: Do you still find time for yourself? How do you cure yourself? What hobbies or interests are your balance?

Kosta: You simply have to take time for yourself. Instagram (social media) is a 24/7 job that’s hard to just “take a vacation” from. I go to the gym at 6am to work out and just to clear my head a bit, plus I have normal office hours from 7am-3pm where I’m at work in our Düsseldorf office. The rest of the time I spend with my family to try and switch off. Of course, it never fails to post a story or upload a photo or something in between, but that’s just part of the job.

Fashion trends for men: tips & tricks

FIV: Our male readers are especially interested in which must-haves a man has to have in his wardrobe?

Kosta: For this summer definitely neutral shades and pastel colors.

FIV: Young girls and boys in particular only have their pocket money to go shopping with. As a designer and fashion expert, surely you can give our readers tips on how they can go shopping on a budget? Is that even possible?

Kosta: Watch my Youtube videos, I always give a lot of tips for shopping on a budget. I personally think that fashion does not always have to cost a lot, but quality is of course important. For basics I like to recommend: Uniqlo and for trends I recommend Zara, it’s mainstream but you can get everything that’s trendy for little money.

FIV: Beauty products are not only important for women. Men also pay attention to a well-groomed appearance. What are your 3 everyday products that you also take with you on your travels?
Kosta: I have a care set from Dr. Barbara Sturm, which is really mega good. In addition, I use a Matt Wax for my hair and my favorite fragrance Xerjoff Accento

FIV: We are happy to get to know your new fashion brand. “Forage” What does this name stand for? How was it for you to design the collection and where did you get your inspiration from?

Kosta: Foràge stands for Fox, Rasa, Georgakis. The 2 first letters of our last names gave us the idea. Designing a collection was always something very special, because you try to implement exactly what you are missing in other people’s clothes or clothes that you consume.

FIV: Is the third collection already in the starting blocks and what can your followers look forward to?

Kosta: The third collection is online by now and this time it focuses a bit on cozyness and oversized pieces, which are just mega important for a chill look in these times.

Summer outfit for man

FIV: Summer is just around the corner and everyone is planning their holidays. You’ve already seen quite a bit of the world and we’re interested to know which places were your favorite? Where can you relax and where can you leave the city life behind? Do you like to travel alone, rather with your family or friends?

Kosta: I prefer to travel with my wife. Actually, this summer would have been the first trip with our six-month-old child, but that is unfortunately somewhat difficult due to the current situation. The dreamiest place I’ve ever been are the Maldives. Just mega nice to relax. And the most exciting/beautiful holiday was South Africa, which I can only recommend to everyone.

FIV: Which cooperation did you like the most so far and what was the certain something that convinced you?

Kosta: I have to admit that I actually like working with all my cooperation partners and also choose them carefully. They are all partners that I stand behind 100% and therefore I am always convinced of the products. But one special cooperation that comes to my mind was the summer campaign of Ermenegildo Zegna, which we shot on Capri (Italy)…from the team to all the other influencers who were there, everything fit perfectly.
