About
Anna Mila Guyenz is a Berlin-born fashion model whose bright blue eyes and laid-back charm have made her a favorite on European and New York runways. Signed to IMG worldwide, she stands 1.79 m (5 ft 10½ in) tall and is known for an effortless, ever-smiling presence that suits both high-glamour couture and casual campaigns. Since her breakout as a Versace exclusive for the spring/summer 2016 shows, she has graced catwalks for Chanel, Oscar de la Renta, Elie Saab, Isabel Marant, Emporio Armani and more, while fronting editorials for titles such as Vogue, Elle and Glamour Germany.
Before Fame
Guyenz attended the classical Evangelisches Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster, where she added English, French, Ancient Greek and Latin to her native German. A self-confessed book lover who once pictured herself in medicine, she was spotted at fourteen while shopping with her mother by former Germany’s Next Topmodel judge Peyman Amin. She finished high school first, then threw herself into modeling full-time—moving to New York after graduation and quickly collecting bookings from Versace and Chanel. Athletic in school track events and trained in piano, she brought a disciplined work ethic to the fashion world from day one.
Trivia
- Polyglot on set: Directors often rely on her language skills; she can switch from German to French or English in seconds, and once stunned a team by translating a bit of Ancient Greek graffiti during a shoot.
- Runway revelation: Her very first international show was Versace—many models wait seasons for that spotlight.
- Eco-minded: In a 2020 Vogue Germany video diary, she revealed a passion for rainforest conservation and donates portions of her earnings to related NGOs.
- Creative downtime: Between castings she sketches outfits in a notebook, some inspired by the piano compositions she practices to stay centered.
- Birthday mystery: Most profiles agree on 16 December as her birth date; many cite 1995 as the year, though official documents remain private.
Family Life
Anna Mila grew up in a media-savvy household—the daughter of a journalist mother and a father who runs a media company—so cameras never felt intimidating. She balances a trans-Atlantic lifestyle, splitting time between her family’s Berlin home and her New York base, cherishing quiet dinners when her schedule lets her fly back. The model is famously close to her younger siblings (their names stay off social media), crediting them with keeping her grounded when fashion’s pace accelerates. In interviews she’s spoken about maintaining a long-distance relationship and carving out “phone-free” hours to focus on relatives, Sunday walks and homemade German comfort food.

Guyenz’s career is woven with industry heavyweights. Donatella Versace selected her as an exclusive early on, a nod she calls “life-changing.” On set she has appeared alongside top faces such as Joan Smalls in a Liu Jo campaign and Luna Bijl, Birgit Kos, Mayowa Nicholas and Maartje Verhoef in an H&M summer film. Photographers ranging from Petra Collins to Mikael Schulz have captured her easy energy, while designers like Giambattista Valli and Dolce & Gabbana regularly tap her for runway or look-books. Mentors also include stylist friends she met during her first Elle UK shoot with Lameka Fox, connections she still cherishes for creative advice and honest feedback.
