walk4future 2025: Why from Amsterdam to Lodz?

Many people have asked me how the route of this year's walk4future came about.

  • Didn't I want to go around the world once?
  • Didn't I want to cross the pond to the USA?

As always and everywhere, I asked myself the question of meaning.

What ultimately tipped the scales were two cornerstones and a big anchor in between: my community, which is simply greater in Germany (besides Austria) than anywhere else in the world. And that's why I hope for beautiful, invigorating and inspiring encounters from time to time.

The two corner points between which the walk is suspended are as follows:

1. the Sustainable Apparel and Textiles Conference, from 29.4. - 30.4. in Amsterdam

I am convinced that the sustainable future of fashion lies in the development of new materials (as one of 3 B-pillars: 1. better production, 2. more conscious consumption, 3. biodegradable materials). That's why this conference is a must for me.

2. the Urban Future Conference from May 21-23 in Lodz

Because by then I had wandered through some of the most important cities in the fashion and finance industry and had a few ideas on the subject of "walkable cities = sustainable cities" have to contribute.

Live podcast and panel talk about my life, charisma, self-confidence and modeling

On the occasion of International Women's Day, I was invited by the Upper Austrian News in Linz. On the one hand, to work with Elisabeth Eidenberger in an in-depth podcast interview in front of a live audience (the broadcast will take place in April or May 2025 in the podcast Club of the clever ones) and, on the other hand, to work together with the successful Best Ager Models Doris Grausam (69) and Andrea Neuhofer (52) on the podium about beauty ideals, model standards, charisma and self-confidence to speak. The panel talk was organized by Valerie Hader and Verena Gabriel in a hall filled to the last seat.
