Great Dane

Danish model Juliane Grüner has had the kind of introduction to the modelling industry that most aspiring models can only dream of. Fifteen year old Grüner made her debut at the Fall/Winter 2011 collections as a Prada exclusive. What ensued is a stunning trajectory that has seen Grüner scoring an only girl Vogue Italia cover and a spot in the Fall/Winter Balenciaga campaign, both shot incidentally by model-maestro Steven Meisel. Represented by Scoop models in Copenhagen, 177 cm tall Grüner bears a striking resemblance to Dutch model Ymre Stiekema from her strong jawline, right down to their identical beauty spots. With such an auspicious start it will be of particular interest to see if the ever-fickle fashion industry continues  to embrace and nurture Grüner in the seasons to follow.
