Interview in Danish Elle



Thanks to slow_hands over at tFS (and Google translate), we have this short interview Freja gave recently to Danish Elle. There isn't much in the way of new information, but that's to be expected in a piece like this. It's still a cute read and I've done my best to write it all out and clean up the mistakes left in by Google translate:
She kick started her career in 2005 at an exclusive show for Prada and has since been on the catwalk over 200 times for designers such as Christian Dior, Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton. Additionally, she has decorated the covers of Vogue, Numéro, and V – and now Danish ELLE. She has been a campaign model for Gucci, Balenciaga, Chanel and others, and Karl Lagerfeld is so thrilled with the Danish beauty, he also has appointed her as the campaign model for his own brand Lagerfeld Gallery. And once again hip brand Jaeger of London has her as their face this season. ELLE asked Freja...

HOW DO YOU STAY HEALTHY?
I always try to eat healthy and varied. I eat lots of fruits and vegetables, supplemented with good, big man steaks!

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR GREATEST CATWALK EXPERIENCE SO FAR?
That was in 2007 when I walked the Chanel Haute couture show at the Grand Palais in Paris. I wore a beautiful dress, and Cat Power played live.

WHAT HAVE YOU ON WHEN YOU GO OUT?
Black tight jeans, a black top, a black jacket, high heels and a simple makeup.

WHAT IS YOUR MUST HAVE BEAUTY PRODUCT?
A fragrance oil from Narciso Rodriguez.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST ADVICE?
Enjoy life!

ELLES CHOICE
Freja is the biggest model in Denmark right now, ranked number 11 in world ranking list of models on the site models.com. She is a fantastic model, but she is not classically beautiful. Rather, she has a very special and androgynous look - and some edge. And she's a very professional model and a pleasure to work with, says ELLES fashion editor, Sille Henning.

I believe the Danish Elle cover referenced in the interview is this one:



I only have this small picture, so if anyone has a bigger image I would be forever grateful if you let me know. This image came out during the height of the FW fashion month frenzy back in February so it was probably lost amidst all the fervor over new runway pictures.

Also, Congratulations to Freja who won the Dansk Award last night! I'll post later when more pictures hopefully surface.
