Discovered in the subway, many have made their way to the runway already but the number of those who are chosen and photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for a Dior Homme campaign seems to be much lower. Gerhard Freidl, Carinthian, prominent features, studied political science in Vienna, until the world of fashion called him. From “D” as in D&G to “Z” as in Zegna, everything is in the book he forgot at his first casting. It didn’t do any harm: Photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino let him debut for Numero and the rest is a career that won’t happen again soon in Austria. A clear case for the “Model Of The Year.” Bravo!

Interview:
What is Gerhard Freidl doing when he’s not busy on a catwalk or in front of a camera?  Sports and reading.
Paris or Milan?  Paris
To work with Karl Lagerfeld is…  …a professional dream that came true for me.
Casting Director for one day. Who would you book? Kosmas Pavlos (note: his booker at “Wiener Models”)
Where will you put the award for “Best Model”?  It will be given a place in the house of my parents.
