Role Model

Popular German fashion model, influencer and ageless beauty MARTINA HIRSCH gives us a glimpse into her world…

Hello, Martina, tell us about this photo shoot.
The shoot took place in the heart of New York, high above the city, during the early hours of the morning. It aimed to capture the emotional resonance elicited by various alluring outfits. This shoot was actually quite impromptu, and I fondly recall a moment when a hotel staff member barged in and hilariously found every reason to linger and delayed leaving the room.

When do you feel sexy?
Feeling attractive comes when I’m in sync with myself and receive acknowledgment from my partner about my appeal.

What is your best asset?
My strongest assets are my dedication and unwavering optimism. My parents instilled invaluable values in me, and I’ve been incredibly fortunate in life so far. Gratitude fills my heart for these blessings.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
Despite my naturally friendly demeanour, people might be surprised if they saw me at a football match or driving – it’s a different side of me.

You turned heads at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. How was that?
Yes, I walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival for the movie Club Zero. Imagine going up those stairs with fantastic actors, wearing a super precious dress? Such a great memory to have!

How long have you been modelling?
My modelling is tied to my passion for fashion, and my journey commenced not so long ago. Now, I can’t envision doing anything else!

Have you ever visited Australia or New Zealand?
Unfortunately, I haven’t had the pleasure yet.

If you could visit, where would you like to go?
The Abel Tasman National Park beckons me due to my love for nature. I know Queenstown is all about the thrill of bungee jumping and Rotorua, with its rich Maori culture, also captivates me.

What do you look for in a man?
A man should be protective, passionate and eternally engaging for a woman.

Describe your ideal date.
I’m all for surprises – unconventional ideas always pique my interest!

What can we get you at the bar?
Gin and tonic, please!

What have you learned about men over the years?
While life doesn’t hinge on men, it’s undeniably enriched by their presence.

Necklace: Lona Studios

What’s one thing men should always know about women?
The biggest blunder is asking, “Are you really wearing THAT?”

What’s the weirdest thing someone has sent you via social media?
A marriage proposal, believe it or not.

What’s your best hidden talent?
Singing in the shower – it’s my secret talent!

Where would you like to be in five years?
Hoping to still wander the world’s breathtaking locations, surrounded by fascinating individuals.

What’s next for you?
Stay tuned through social media – there’s plenty more in the pipeline!
