MOTW #2

Christian Von Pfefer at Select Model Management, London

Christian Von Pfefer is 20 years old and from Central London. He has been with Select since 2011 is is the definitive fashion model. As well as speaking a number of different languages, Christian is well-educated and pretty fearless! He is one of those rare models that readers write in about – just recently we’ve had a spate of emails from his ‘fans’. We asked photographer Jeff Hahn to take him to the streets of London and capture some moments.

When and where were you born?
I was born and raised in london.

Where you scouted or did you approach modelling yourself?
I was scouted by a photographer.

What differentiates you from other young models?
I am a international multilinguist breed in london.

What’s your absolute favourite food?
Popcorn – toffee popcorn.

Would you say your education has benefited your modelling career?
My education has helped me in a way. Because i speak a few languages, i am able to interact with clients easier and get to know them better.

Do you have hobbies or are you too cool?
I am too cool but of course i have hobbies and sports. I recently discovered skating, and flying, but i have always been doing various sports like sailling, swimming, tennis, rugby and basketball.

What gets you through a tough day?

The fact that i have my girlfriend at home waiting for me, well she is home sometimes.

Do you believe in being faithful?
Yes.

What’s your worst habit?
I always need to be doing something.

What makes you squirm?

Spiders and Octopus – they freak me out.

Vodka or Brandy?

I prefer water if I’m thirsty.

If you’re at a casting and there’s like 200 boys there, and it’s already been a long day, what is going through your mind?
How can i jump the cue

If you could choose any place in the world to shoot with any photographer, where would it be?
Mario Testino or Steven, Amsterdam because its amsterdam baby!

Are there any fashion designers that really inspire you?
Dior, Gucci, Prada – the 3 classics, because their style and design are still considered to be the definition of classic clothing.

What would you say has been the highlight of your life so far (doesn’t have to relate to modelling)
I have had a lot of good experiences and fun but nothing has really stood out of the rest yet!

When your time as a model is over, can you tell us what you think you will be doing with yourself?
I have been thinking bout this for a while and i am not sure 100%, but something involving my hands as i have always enjoyed hard work.
