About the Model

Freja Beha Erichsen
Freja, born in Roskilde, Denmark, exploded onto the fashion scene soon after being discovered on the streets of her hometown, Copenhagan, Denmark. Despite having no prior modeling experience, Freja was a natural in front of the camera. Her unique beauty and easy nature made her a joy for photographers to work with.
Freja’s career reached new heights during the Fall/Winter 2005 campaign season. Erichsen made her debut as a model in 2005 at the fall Paris and Milan shows of Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Miu Miu (which she opened).
She continues to walk the runways of New York, Paris, Milan and also London, both in the Ready-to-wear and Haute Couture seasons.
Freja emerged as the year’s break-out star and appeared in three major advertisements campaigns, Balenciaga, photographed by David Sims; Jil Sander, also by David Sims, and TSE, photographed by Carter Smith. Since then, Freja has appeared in advertisements for Gucci, Chanel, Hugo Boss, Chloe, Gap, Calvin Klein, Balmain, Balenciaga, Gianfranco Ferre, and Pringle.
 
Freja is also the face of Calvin Klein’s perfume, CK In 2 U, and Gucci’s perfume Gucci. She can be seen in the Fall/Winter 2008 advertisements for Emporio Armani.
In 2008, casting agent James Scully, said of Erichsen: “ The queen of cool. Probably one of the most-requested models of all my clients. She is the perfect old-school clothes-hanger with a little eighties androgyny thrown in.”
In her breakout runway season, Freja walked a total of 64 shows, 12 of which she opened, 5 of which she closed. She continues to appear on the runway today and has walked for designers such as, Alexander McQueen, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Christian Lacroix, Dolce & Gabbana, Givency, Gucci, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Narciso Rodriguez, Prada, Versace, Yves Saint Laurent and Zac Posen.
Influential magazine editors took notice as well. She has appeared in editorials for many fashion magazines, including the American, French, Italian, German, British, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian editions of Vogue, Interview Magazine, W Magazine, American and Russian Harper’s Bazaar, French and Korean Numéro, i-D, V and Purple.
