German model seeks young female colleagues on 3+

The casting show "Supermodel 2008" on the Swiss private channel 3+ has a new figurehead: German model Franziska Knuppe is taking over as presenter. She succeeds Nadja Schildknecht, who hosted the first season. The 33-year-old Knuppe has been in the modeling business for eleven years, gracing the covers of international fashion magazines and working for various designers. She was a guest judge during the first "Supermodel" season.
Against the backdrop of the general moaning about the many Germans in Switzerland, Knuppe's nationality is also worth a mention in the media release for the 3+ channel. The fact that she is German was a "minor matter" in her decision: "The modeling profession is international and the challenges are the same everywhere," the Potsdam native is quoted as saying.
