M.I.M's Renee in Hamburg!

As promised Models International Management's Renee is sharing with us some tips on the modeling market of Hamburg, Germany!

Name:
Renée Mittelstaedt

Mother agency:
Models International Management (Ottawa, Canada)

How long is your contract?
My contract is two months.

What could you tell us about the market for new models/models whom have not yet been?
The most important thing to remember when modeling in Hamburg is to always be on time. The clients do not like it when their models are late for jobs and castings.

What is something interesting/different about the city?

I really like how the city is right by the water. When the weather is warm, it’s great to take a walk along Elbe River and watch the ships sail into the harbor. Moreover, the Alster Lake is a great place to sit down and read a good book on a sunny day. 

What is the shopping like?
The shopping in Hamburg is amazing. There are many malls, markets and small shops where ever I go. I love going to the Euro Passage mall, which is located in the city’s center.

Any current fashion trends that stand out/ different that you have noticed?
The current fashion trend that I’ve noticed is bright clothing. However, I believe that’s an international spring/summer trend but it’s the one trend that caught my eye.

Make-up trends that you have noticed?
I haven’t noticed many make up trends in Hamburg. Most women keep their make-up very natural and light.

Favorite thing about working in this market?
My favorite thing about working in this market is how everything is very organized. I like how there is a schedule and it is always followed to the letter.

What is the currency used for this market?
The currency used in this market is the Euro.

Something you'd recommend to eat for somebody who has never been?

I would recommend trying the sea food in Hamburg. The city is right by the water, therefore the restaurants have access to the freshest sea food. There is a variety of fish and shellfish prepared differently, so one can have whatever their heart desires.
