Filming: GNTM with Heidi Klum and Manfred Thierry Mugler

Time for high fashion, catwalks, photo sets, models, girls and especially for Heidi Klum. Filming for the 16th season of "Germany's Next Top Model - by Heidi Klum" is now starting in Berlin.

For the new season of Germany's Next Topmodel, Heidi Klum invites star photographers, designers, and international top models to assist her in making her decisions. Airing from spring 2021 on ProSieben.

It all kicks off with a glamorous fashion show. Design legend Manfred Thierry Mugler will be a guest: “For me as an artist and director, the most important thing is that my creations are filled with emotion and life. Size, skin color, or gender don't play a role.”

Heidi Klum says: "It is an honor to have such a great artist as Manfred Thierry Mugler at my side on the first show. Not only because he is an icon, but above all because his catwalks are always characterized by diversity."

An extraordinary year requires extraordinary measures. There is a very tight and comprehensive hygiene concept for the production of the 16th season of “Germany's Next Top Model – by Heidi Klum”.

“Safety comes first. We have developed a hygiene concept for GNTM that goes far beyond the legal requirements,” says ProSieben press spokesman Christoph Körfer.

He continues: "That's why we are producing without spectators at catwalks and fashion shows until further notice." When styling and applying make-up, for example, employees wear a face visor in addition to the mouth and nose covering as an additional protective measure.
