5QA Fabian Pfenninger / model Oktober 16, 2012interview, music, photography0 Comments

Here is another round of our DiasOfDiaz 5QA – five questions answered aka our coffee-break interview. This time we have peppered a male model with questions: just before watching him enter the runway again for Mode Suisse, meet the striking Fabian Pfenninger, one of those red heads that you cannot escape from at the moment:

DiasOfDiaz: Name 5 things you would never travel without.

Fabian: I usually have always a couple of things with me: my mobile phone, contact lens care products, a credit card, my identity card, house keys, … BUT I can’t say I’d never travel without them. Sometimes there is a reason and you don’t have time to pack this stuff…

DiasOfDiaz: What was the most important lesson that you learned in your first years as an international model?

Fabian: To be patient. Some working processes take a long time…

DiasOfDiaz: What was the strangest or craziest thing you ever witnessed during a photo shoot or show?

Fabian: Definitely fake blood… And dogs on the runway.

DiasOfDiaz: The top 5 of your current playlist (laptop – iPod – whatever)?

Fabian: madness – Muse, blow me – P!nk, we are young – Fun, starship – Nicki Minaj and girl on fire – Alicia Keys.

DiasOfDiaz: Imagine you could be a superhero… Who would you be and would you change his costume?

Fabian: Oh, I thought I am already Mr. Supermodel?!?

When he was first “discovered” in 2007, Fabian was not so interested in modeling – he preferred to finish his education. But now he is one of Switzerland’s biggest (male) beauty exports: on the catwalk he has worked for Junya Watanabe – Comme des Garçons, John Varvatos, Roberto Cavalli, Yohji Yamamoto and Wolfgang Joop‘s Wunderkind.
