JULIA STEGNER BEAUTIFUL GERMAN MODEL
Dear readers of Sport&Beauty. Today’s installment is dedicated to one of my favorite models. Our guest is German and although she’s one of the renowned Victoria’s Secret angels she’s not as famous as other German models like Claudia Schiffer or Heidi Klum. She has walked for Gucci, Versace, and Valentino and landed the cover of some of the world’s most prestigious magazines such as “Elle”, “Vogue” and “Harper’s Bazaar”. Do you already know who she is? Bingo. Today’s post is dedicated to the beautiful German model Julia Stegner. Here you are Julia Stegner, a real stunner.
Our new friend Julia was born on November 2, 1984 in Munich, Germany. His father worked for an American multinational as the sales manager for Central Europe and her mother was an accountant. Julia was brought up within an animal-caring family composed of her parents, her older sister and some dogs. She started in the fashion world at a very young age and was a child model for seven years appearing in a number of advertisements and kidswear catalogues. Besides her work as a child model, she studied ballet for nine years.
While studying at High School Julia discovered her passion for basketball and joined a team in her hometown. It’s obvious that being 180 centimetres tall she was naturally gifted for this sport. Just before turning fifteen the German model was discovered by a talent scout while eating a hotdog at Munchen’s Oktoberfest. The scout saw her and immediately got impressed by the beauty of that young girl. Julia was first signed by Tilla Linding a clothing company based in Munich and London and, although the model had planned to study accountancy after finishing High School, she moved to Paris to try her luck as a professional model. Here you are her data and measurements:

By the summer of 2004 Julia had already starred in ad campaigns for Celine, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, and Dior. She has also worked for Hugo Boss and in 2005 she starred in Chloé’s ad campaign and walked for Anna Sui, Lanvin, Gucci, Versace, and Valentino. As you can see she was in really high demand at that time and joined Victoria’s Secret heaven participating in 2005, 2006, and 2007 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Unlike other fashion models supportive of PETA organization, Julia has participated in a number of advertisements and fashion shows wearing fur clothes. She also appeared in a number of calendars such as Pirelli’s in 2005 and in 2007 became the image of Aquascutum, Guerlain, KissKiss, Hugo Boss Eyewear and Hugo Boss fragrance “Femme”.
In 2008 Julia became the image of Tod’s and Armani Jeans and starred in some TV commercials for Maybelline. In February, April, and May she appeared in several editorials for “Harper’s Bazaar” and in March landed on the pages of “Vogue” Italy. At the same time she was photographed by Steven Meisel for Gianfranco Ferré’s ad campaign together with Malgosia Bela. In August Julia left Women Management New York and signed for IMG and in September she walked in New York, Milan, and Paris for rag & bone, Gucci, and Givenchy’s 2009 spring fashion shows. In November she landed on the covers of “Elle” France, “Vogue” Spain, and “Numéro” Japan and participated in the greatest show on Earth, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Finally in December she added the cover of “Vogue” Germany to her résumé.

In February she traveled to New York to walk for Alexander Wang and rag & bone’s Fall shows, in March was featured again on the pages of “Vogue” Italy, and in May reappeared in “Vogue” together with boyfriend Steven Pan. During the following months she kept on appearing in fashion magazines: “Vogue” Germany (July), “Vogue” France (September), and “Vogue” (October).

In the 2008 Olympics, he was the starting center for Team USA which went on to win the gold medal. Howard's overall play and his spectacular dunks have gained him prominence as one of the brightest young prospects in the NBA and the team leader of the Magic.
