Isabel Neumair - model of the month - September
Isabel Neumair
German with brown hair and blue eyes
born 9 July
5'9.5" ; 176cm
'Place Models'

She likes Kate Moss and potatoes but never planned to become a fashion model. We’re talking about Isabel, the German eye-catcher whose versatile look may grace many high fashion magazine covers and star catwalks very soon. At 5’9.5” this silent Place discovery is said to be a reliable and tolerant person. Despite her young age, Isabel works very professional with no aptitude to ask many questions and on that score she was not that great small-talk-lover when we had the chance to interview her.  Nonetheless we're certain we will be seeing more of "belle" Isabel in the near future ...
