Mathias Lauridsen was born Friday 13th of January 1984 in Copenhagen and started modeling in 2003. His second job ever was for Another Magazine hailing him to be the next big thing and his third a Jil Sander campaign. Here he shares with us what goes on in that pretty head of his.

Something called 'Shoe Magazine.' Don't ask!

Adult.
When do you feel like a model?
On my way home from a show.
Who's your favourite photographer?
David Sims and Tom Munro.
What's your money shot?
My left profile -- works every time.
Do you like to strike a pose?
Oh yes, but it takes me three hours to warm up.
When did you last say: Excuse me, but I'm like -- a model!
Hmmm, come to think of it, I never have.
What's the worst thing about modeling?

Do you think 'clothes maketh the man?'
Yes, if you're dressed properly, and according to how you are. As opposed to those who try something which looks phony on them. I.E. I would never dress like a bling bling hip hopper -- you know.

I would like to think that I could live without any of my material things without missing anything, so I deliberately don't have any.

Scotland Rocks New York - April 5th, 2007
Tonight, the 1990s entertained us. What was entertaining you in 1990?
Name: Mathias Lauridsen
Age: 23
Hometown: Copenhagen, DEN
Occupation: Model "I'd probably say what I remember most was when Denmark won the European finals in soccer. The Danish team was an underdog and went through to win the whole thing."
Top Model Spotlight: Mathias Lauridsen
Mathias Lauridsen hails from Denmark and is currently one of the most in demand male models of the moment. This uber gorgeous model with his piercing blue-green eyes has mastered all aspects of modeling in just a short period of time: runway, editorials and campaigns. This makes himthe most diverse and most marketable than his male model counterparts.
Lauridsen was discovered in 2003 on the streets of Copenhagen and immediately did some modeling for a few local magazines. It was when he modeled for a Jil Sander campaign that other major brands took notice and within two years his face has been a part of campaigns for Christian Dior, Hermes, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Perry Ellis, DKNY, Lacoste, Kenzo, Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, and Gucci.
It’s Lauridsen’s boyish charm and small scar on his cheek that has given him the appearance of rugged naivety. He’s walked the runway for Fashion Week many times and leaves fashion editors swooning in their seats. The rumor that he is shy has created an aura of mysteriousness and intrigue that has commanded the attention of fashion brands and designers across the globe.
New York im September 2004. Sämtliche Presse-Ladies gucken etwas genauer hin, als Anna Sui bei der New York Fashion Week ihre Kollektion auf dem Catwalk im berühmten Bryant Park vorstellt. Nicht dass die Entwürfe nicht alleine begeisterungswürdig genug gewesen wären, aber ein bestimmter Herr auf dem Laufsteg stahl den Modellen die Schau. Dürfen wir vorstellen: Mathias Lauridsen, Männermodel. Der 20-jährige Däne ist nicht nur einer unter vielen, sondern eines der angesagtesten und begehrtesten männlichen Models im Fashion-Biz. Nach seiner ersten Werbekampagne für Christian Dior im letzten Jahr rissen sich die Designer um den blonden Adonis. Für Hermès posierte er anschließend vor der Kamera des Großmeisters Richard Avedon. Zur Zeit ist der Mann mit den sinnlichen Lippen in der aktuellen Anzeigenkampagne für Calvin Klein sowie Jil Sander zu sehen. Sowohl während besagter Damen Prêt-à-porter Modewoche, als auch bei der New York Men’s Fashion Week, die kurz davor stattfindet, durfte er das Publikum bei insgesamt zehn Shows in Staunen versetzen. Außer bei Anna Sui führte er auch für Marc Jacobs, Perry Ellis, DKNY, Lacoste, Morgan, D’Allessandro, Imitation of Christ, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Cloak und Matthew Earnest seine beeindruckende Optik spazieren.
Die italienische „L’Uomo VOGUE“ engagierte Mathias erst jüngst für ein zehnseitiges Editorial, „V-Magazine“ präsentierte eine von Peter Lindbergh fotografierte Modestrecke mit dem blonden Nordlicht und auch das britische Magazin „POP“ featurete den Mann aus Kopenhagen groß im Heft. Seine Pläne für die Zukunft? Auf der New York Fashion Week, die Anfang Februar beginnt, wird er den Damen in der ersten Reihe sicherlich wieder die Köpfe verdrehen. Darüber hinaus können wir Mathias demnächst als neues Tommy-Hilfiger-Model in dessen Anzeigenkampagne im Frühjahr bewundern. Außerdem konnte der schöne Blonde einen Werbevertrag mit Hugo Boss unterzeichnen. In der Modeszene munkelt man, Mathias Lauridsen könnte das neue Prada-Model werden. Das Zeug dazu hätte er ja...

Who's That Guy?
Male model of the moment: Mathias Lauridsen
Few girls can resist a guy in a tunic. When a downy blonde hunk hit the runway during September’s Anna Sui show, eyes popped, jaws dropped, and women throughout Bryant Park were seen swooning in their stilettos.
Enter Mathias Lauridsen, a 20-year old Copenhagen native in demand with women and designers alike. After scoring his first feature campaign with Christian Dior last season,
