Prince Gabriel makes surprise catwalk appearance

Eight designers and fashion labels presented their latest collections during Luxembourg Fashion Week on Saturday.

Held at the Hotel Le Royal in Luxembourg City, the fashion show featured Human Highness, Karim Meguellati, Minh-Anh Nguyen, Petit Atelier de Nathalie, Egle Ozyte, Altagia, Aydogan and Yanis Miltgen in cooperation with hair artist Maxim.

The show was opened by Tessy Antony-de Nassau Floessel, who had already taken part in the event several times with her label Human Highness. This time, the 39-year-old presented her first solo collection for the couture brand, which specialises in elegant capes. The collection, which is characterised by transformation and new beginnings, was announced as a tribute to the Grand Ducal family on the occasion of the change of throne. So it seems only fitting that none other than her eldest son Prince Gabriel appeared as a model on the runway to the surprise of the audience.

Last summer, the 19-year-old grandson of Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa was able to gain his first modelling experience in front of the camera of Swiss star photographer Michel Comte during a joint photo shoot with his mother for the Mews House concept store in Zurich. Now he has also had the chance to prove himself as a catwalk model.

Prince Gabriel is not the first member of a monarchical family to inspire as a model. First and foremost: Count Nikolai, the grandson of former Queen Margrethe of Denmark. The son of Prince Joachim and his ex-wife Countess Alexandra is pursuing this path professionally and has already been hired by major fashion houses such as Dior and Burberry. The former prince has also graced various magazine covers.
