Biography |
Julia Stegner was born on November 2, 1984, in Munich,
Germany, the daughter of an accountant and the Central
European sales manager for a large American company. She was
raised alongside her older sister (who would go on to work
in film production) in a household filled with dogs -- the
Stegner family being comprised of animal lovers. Julia
became immersed in her profession from a young age: She was
a child model for seven years, working on children's
catalogs and commercials, and was trained in dance for nine
years.
In high school Julia discovered a love for playing
basketball, one that would eventually lead her to join a
club team in Munich. She was a natural fit for the game, and
her high school peers referred to her as "bean bar" because
of her 5'11" height. She even met her policeman boyfriend,
Konstantin, while playing her favorite sport.
Julia was preparing to study accounting when she left high
school, but a fortuitous event changed her career path. At
15, while celebrating Oktoberfest in her home town of
Munich, she was discovered by a talent scout who immediately
recognized her potential for modeling greatness.
In 2002, once she graduated from high school, Julia moved to
Paris to pursue modeling. There, she made her first major
cover appearance, for Elle magazine. She was signed by
Supreme Management and, within four months, she was opening
the 2002 Yves Saint Laurent show. In 2003, she did Strenesse
and Sportmax campaigns, among others.
By 2004, Julia had built an impressive resume and was in
high demand. By the summer of that year, she had done work
for Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, and
Club Monaco.
Julia also modeled for the 2005 Pirelli calendar, where she
appeared half-nude to the delight of men everywhere. Expect
to see more of Julia in the months and years to come --
there's no hiding this beauty. |
