Maren first caught our attention at the Prada Spring/Summer 2017 show, immediately standing out as a model to watch. This talented German model has already reached significant milestones in the fashion industry, walking for renowned designers like Ricardo Tisci and Maison Martin Margiela. Yet, her ambitions extend far beyond these achievements. Today, Maren balances her growing modeling career with her studies and an insatiable passion for travel, embodying the life of a modern, globe-trotting model.
Born in Radevormwald, West Germany, and now based in Konstanz, Maren was discovered at 16 by Aylin Hadi, the current head of Girls Club Management. She vividly remembers promising to walk for Prada—a promise she proudly kept. For Maren, this moment highlights the dedication and discipline required in modeling, proving that persistence and focus can turn early dreams into real accomplishments.
What Maren loves most about modeling is the opportunity to meet creative minds from around the world. Though her academic interests lean toward science, she thrives on the contrasts that the modeling world offers, learning from diverse experiences and unique life stories during her travels. This curiosity has made her an avid traveler, always ready to drop everything at a moment’s notice for castings, fittings, or last-minute shows.
Despite the glamour, Maren is aware of the challenges within the industry. She wishes more models, agencies, and clients recognized the importance of passion and positivity, as negativity can stifle both energy and creativity on set. Maren also hopes initiatives like Cameron Russell’s #MyJobShouldNotIncludeAbuse and the #MeToo movement continue to push model agencies toward safer, more respectful working environments, benefiting models at all stages of their careers.
From her discovery to her current success, Maren’s journey offers inspiration for aspiring models worldwide. Whether you’re pursuing modeling through a model agency or independently, her story is a testament to dedication, resilience, and the joy of discovering the world through fashion.
