Stats: 21 years old; from Copenhagen; repped by New York Models.
Spring runway scores: Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen.
Toughest part about collections: “For McQueen, I was going to wear this lace mask covered in pearls and I couldn’t see s--t so I got a new mask, thank god! And the shoes, they were for Lady Gaga and no one else. I was like, ‘I’m going to die!’”
Second toughest part about collections: “I tripped in the fitting to confirm Versace last season. I was this close to hitting Donatella, and I broke the shoe! The assistant said, ‘It’s OK. You’re like the fifth girl to do it today.’”
NYFW uniform: “Black jeans, black T-shirt, black jacket, black boots. But in Paris they want me to be more girly-girl and wear dresses.”
Runway wish list: “I’m really hoping to get Proenza Schouler. I watched this documentary on them and they’re so smart and adorable! My girlfriend, Caroline [Brasch Nielsen], did some looks for them and she got to keep so much. Walking in her closet is like going to Barneys.”
NYFW boot camp: “I do push-ups sometimes. I don’t know if it’s working though.”
