My translation Mrs. Garrn, there's hardly another medium that mirroers emotions as perfectly as music. Which status does music have in your life? Toni: It's incredibly important. There's no workout session, no run or journey without my headphones. The first thing I do at home, even before taking off my shoes, is to turn on the music. Through my job, I'm often alone, and music always sets me in the mood I want to be in. Music in my job is equally important. I couldn't imagine a set without music. You were born in Hamburg, a city with lots of famous German musicians and bands, such as Kettcar, Tomte or Wir sind Helden who first brought up the notion of the 'Hamburg School'. Is that something you personally like? What are your preferences? I love music mainly because I love dancing to it, so my music always has a lot of bass and is very rhythmic. I particularly love Spanish latino music, because when I was 6 and living in Athens, I already went to a latino dance school and learned Mambo, Samba, Cha-cha and a lot of other styles. Also, I often listen to African drum music, because I spend a lot of time in Africa and love the culture - Reggaeton or good House basses with a strong or strange beat for example. Weirdly, slow House music works for falling asleep on a plane for me. I haven't listened to a lot of German music so far. What's your favorite playlist at the moment? Very mixed. A lot of old school girl-power songs, such as Beyoncé or Missy Elliot. Currently a lot of Kygo, Zak Waters, The Weeknd. Seinabo Sey, Sam Smith, Andra Day. And my African playlists with Kanda Bongo Man, P Square, Buraka Som Sistema, Bollebof, and, a bit more famous, Shaggy or Sean Paul. How is a typical shooting with you? Do you listen to music before or during the shoot to get into the right mood? No, not before. If I have to travel to set by car or by plane, I listen to music anyways. I always ask for music on set. In the studio, I like to listen to loud music, and often it is my own playlist we're listening to. On location shoot, the team usually has some kind of sound system. Without music, long shootings are harder and less creative, for almost everybody in the team. But there are also photographers who need silence in order to focus, then I have to adapt to them. Do you also talk about music with your model friends in the industry? Sure, there are some who are DJs themselves or sing. But I don't know many who share my passion for Latin and African music. But during Fashion Weeks, almost everybody has their headphones on at some point. What are the musical preferences there? Can you agree to one sound at parties? In NYC, most people listen to HipHop and Rap. I don't really like that, which is why I rarely party in NYC. But sometimes I can convince the DJ to play my kind of music. Fashion parties, particularly in Europe, often have very good DJs who play old 80s stuff, good Old School HipHop or very good Ibiza-Style House. Who was the last person to show you really good new music and what was it? I recently discovered Majid Jordan who is signed with Drake's label and listen to him a lot. Similar to The Weeknd, but I find it more exciting and the lyrics are less arrogant towards women. Do you have an all-time favorite song that never gets boring? Runnin – Beyonce, Pretty Wings – Zak Waters, Younger – Seinoba Sey. At the moment. Is there a song you connect with a special event in your life? So many. There are a lot of runway shows I'll never forget because of the soundtrack. Lots of vacations where we were playing the same one or two songs again and again. The famous break-up songs, naturally, but I'd rather stay away from them. "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse reminds me of growing up in Hamburg very much, and of my first experiences as a 'teenager', if you will. Do you still recall your first concert? By who and where was it? Yes, it was after a Hugo Boss show. MGMT was playing and I was 15 and already a big fan of theirs. I was lucky, my first concert was almost private, at an after show party. Is there some 'musical excess' from your childhood or teenage years you're embarrassed of today? When I lived in Athens, I was playing swedisch band Aqua over and over again. 'I'm a barbie girl' and so on. But I guess that's normal when you're 8 or 9 years old. A lot of actors and models appear in music lyrics. [...] If there ever was a song about you, who should it be by? Missy Elliot, in a cool Reggaeton mix. The American music scene and market often seem miles ahead of the German one. Who do you think is worth watching in 2016? Majid Jordan and Andra Day. Andra Day's voice is unbelievable. A similar phenomenon as Emily Sandé. I 'discovered' her many years ago and now she's everywhere all of a sudden.

she's worked with Klaus Lamp before - for Otto and Peter Hahn. Nothing very high fashion in any event. I suspect it's something similar this time, they are shooting too long for an ed; it must be a catalog combines with a campaign or something. (Maybe they'll use her for the whole Peter Hahn website this time, hooray.)

Yeah, classy, right? And it fits her charity work for girls' rights wayyy better than walking for VS.

^ it's about her taste in music, something a bit different for once. I'll try to translate it later.

By the way, the make up artist in the pic above is represented German Ballsaal agency. They worked on the last Aigner campaign as well as for German Vogue and Bazaar. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing it's for one of the three, although I can be wrong, they have a lot of other (less prestigious...) clients too.

Um...can somebody tell me how insta embedding works? This is from yesterday, so she's been shooting for a bit now. Glad to hear!

I think she is in Dallas or NY though, unfortunately. When she's so silent on Instagram, she usually is with Chandler. (GNTM is shooting in Australia at the moment, so maybe she travelled there and she is silent because of the long flight. Definitely my preferred option.)

Sooo, guys, I just searched J.Crew's pinerest again. This is the original source for the two pics we've seen. https://www.pinterest.com/jcrew/the-great-gift-list-15-style-guide There are pictures of Liu, too. Also, the February Style Guide is out and no Toni in it. What they shot is obviously something for winter, so I don't think it will be for March either. I think we can cross that one off, it seems to be just the 2 pics we already know.

^ come on now, that Balmain show was tacky as fuck. As usual. Some of those dresses are the stuff of nightmares.

That would be great! The buildings in the back do look like Paris, but people on Instagram also bring up Spain. I don't know. Guess we have to waaaiiit.

That's the interview where she talks about vs and charity. i translated parts of it, the rest is really nothing new.

I don't know how many she's used, but it's gotta be 3 at least. Dallas - NY; NY - destination where she took the airport pic (London? Or somewhere else in Europe I guess); from there to Lanzarote. Also, all of the tickets on the picture were boarding passes with assigned seats. You can't get them for return flights prior to check-in, they can't possibly be for the return flights. (Also, unless she somehow booked a looong layover in Lanzarote, she can't have had them for other destinations either. Check-in starts 24h before departure with most airlines.)

Looks promising! Glad she didn't go to Dubai. I wonder why though, maybe it was false information to begin with?

L'express styles... I'm always disappointed when she is shooting something and it is again not for Vogue or Numéro etc. But at this point, I'm glad she's shooting at all.

Totally agree. Especially since she claims she doesn't do VS anymore because of her moral credibility.

Why do you think so? Any idea what she's up to there?

Thank you very much for the explanation, ablover, that was very helpful.

Eew, some might find that sweet, I find it very off-putting to be honest.

insta/adurasova The shoot was for Stern Magazine (German weekly fashion magazine with occasional fashion spreads and special fashion issues), shot by Elizaveta Porodina.

It looks okay from what you can see in the polas. But I agree. Her IG pics tend to make her look way smaller than she is. I've noticed that a couple times already.

She has like a hundred bikinis and none really fits...

Turns out it is a different campaign! She's the face for Simply Jil Sander Eau de Toilette, according to Vogue. The previous campaign was for the Simply Jil Sander Perfume.
