Biography |
Barbara Meier (born July 25, 1986 in Amberg, Germany) is the
winner of the second cycle of Germany's Next Topmodel (often
abbreviated as GNTM), a successful German televised
modelling contest presented by Heidi Klum. The series was
aired from March to May 2007 by the commercial TV channel
ProSieben.
Born in the small Bavarian town of Amberg, Barbara Meier
didn't originally aspire a career in modelling. Instead,
after graduating from school, she enrolled at the
Fachhochschule Regensburg in order to study mathematics.
While shopping at a local mall, she was invited by a model
scout to a casting for GNTM. Out of 16,421 participants in
the national casting, she was chosen among the 15 candidates
to appear on the TV show. In the course of the show, she had
to face a series of challenges in order to outrival her
contestants. Even before the end of the show, one of these
minor competitions had her win a leading role alongside
Heidi Klum in a nationwide TV commercial for McDonald's.
In the last episode, she outpaced the other two finalists,
brunette Hana and blonde Anni, and was declared winner of
the title "Germany's Next Topmodel". The prize included a
contract with the modelling agency IMG Models, an appearance
on the cover of the German edition of Cosmopolitan in August
2007 and a contract as the face of the next advertising
campaign for the clothing company C&A.
On June 22, 2007, Meier was a guest on the popular TV show
Wetten, dass..?, together with GNTM's 2006 winner Lena
Gercke.
In her private life, Meier has been in a steady relationship
since 2003.
Meier's trademark look is defined by her long red hair, pale
skin and classy face. |
