About
Hannah Sprehe is a German fashion model celebrated for her sharp bone structure, hazel eyes, and statuesque 5’11” (180 cm) frame. Signed to the Elite network in Paris, Milan, London, Barcelona, and Copenhagen—while anchoring her representation at A Management in Hamburg—she has earned a reputation as an adaptable runway and editorial presence. Sprehe’s breakout moment arrived when Saint Laurent booked her as an exclusive for its Spring/Summer 2018 show, instantly putting her on every casting director’s radar. Since then, she has walked for powerhouses such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Alexander McQueen, and Givenchy, steadily reinforcing her status as one of Germany’s notable new-generation models.
Before Fame
Raised in Germany, Sprehe was first scouted by The System Management in Hamburg. Early test shoots revealed a natural poise in front of the camera, and the agency quickly nurtured her potential with local bookings and runway training. The big leap came when Elite Paris added her to its development board and pushed her toward the major fashion capitals. Within a single season, she moved from local castings to the coveted Saint Laurent exclusive—an achievement that many models chase for years. That overnight elevation gave her a front-row education in fashion’s fast lane and set her up for a string of top-tier shows across Paris, Milan, and London.
Trivia
- Editorial versatility: In 2020 she fronted the moody “Red” story for Vogue Ukraine, photographed by David Ferrua, swapping her runway intensity for softer, cinematic portraits.
- Campaign highlights: The same year saw her in Versace Jeans Couture’s Fall/Winter campaign, a Calvin Klein Underwear look-book, and Dior’s Resort shows in Lecce and Athens.
- Social footprint: Although her career is mostly runway-driven, she keeps a low-key digital presence—models.com lists only about 3.4k Instagram followers, underscoring a preference for work over constant online engagement.
- Signature features: Light-brown hair and a symmetrical beauty spot near her upper lip have become subtle trademarks that casting directors recognize instantly.
Family Life
Sprehe guards her private sphere carefully. She has not publicly shared detailed information about her parents, siblings, or hometown beyond confirming her German roots. Industry insiders describe a grounded personality who credits her family with encouraging her to finish school before pursuing modeling full-time. Outside fashion weeks, she spends downtime in Germany, re-charging with relatives and longtime friends. Identifying with she/her pronouns, she has spoken briefly in agency interviews about valuing a balanced life—choosing hiking, film photography, and time with loved ones over excessive nightlife on tour. While specifics are scarce, that discretion has become part of her professional brand, allowing the work to speak louder than personal headlines.

Sprehe’s runway résumé reads like a fashion-history syllabus. She has interpreted the sharp tailoring of Anthony Vaccarello at Saint Laurent, the romantic futurism of Nicolas Ghesquière at Louis Vuitton, and the beach-set spectacle of Karl Lagerfeld’s final seasons at Chanel. On-set she has posed for photographers such as Guy Aroch (Numero Tokyo) and Mel Bles (See by Chloé). In 2020 she crossed into lingerie territory by fronting Victoria’s Secret’s For Love & Lemons capsule, proving her range from couture to commercial. Runways have paired her with contemporaries like Adut Akech and Bente Oort, placing her among the cohort shaping the post-2010s modeling landscape. Industry observers often single out her cool confidence and steady walk as reasons luxury houses keep calling her back each season.
