There are a few things you need in order to pursue a career in modelling. A healthy and active lifestyle, a great deal of confidence and a personality that can steal the hearts of thousands. Michael Bruch is the full package in this sense, being able to juggle a successful lifelong career, a mass following on social media, and still have time to go to the gym four or five times a week to maintain a fit and healthy physique. But there is a lot you still don't know about Michael, and we managed to meet with him and ask him the questions everyone wants to ask. Let’s get on with it and discover what really makes a fashion influencer.

Tell us a bit about you and your background.

I was born in Russia in 1988, and moved to Germany with my mother when I was 12. In 2010, I decided to study acting and graduated acting school in 2014. So far I've starred in 3 movies and in some German TV shows and series. I also started modelling in 2010. In September 2016 I started fashion-blogging on Instagram. When I hit 3,000 followers brands started to ask if I wanted to feature their products on my Instagram page, which motivated me to go on with my posts because I thought it wasn’t too common to get those collaborations with 3,000 followers. What I like about Instagram blogging is that I can present men’s style completely from my point of view and let my creativity flow without anyone else telling me what to do.
