Lou (17) - Finalist: \u00abThis experience has boosted my self-confidence\u00bb.\u00bb<\/div> <\/div> \n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

SUMMARY<\/strong> Lou, 17, from Normandy, has been selected as one of the finalists in the Top Model Europe international competition, following a selection process involving tens of thousands of candidates.<\/p>\n

At the Brussels finals, she took part in rehearsals, training and official fashion shows in a professional setting, working alongside fashion designers and under the observation of a specialized jury. In particular, she was chosen by fashion house Caroline Bouvier to wear a creation during the runway shows, thus discovering the concrete demands of modeling in real-life conditions (backstage, preparation, successive passages on the catwalk).<\/p>\n

Although she didn't win the title, Lou explains that the experience boosted her self-confidence and confirmed her interest in the fashion world, in which she hopes to continue to evolve. The article highlights the role of the competition as a springboard, enabling young participants to test themselves against professional standards and gain access to initial opportunities (shoots, development contracts, events).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Mathis (16) - Finalist: \u00abAn incredible experience, ... something surreal\u00bb.\u00bb<\/div> <\/div> \n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

SUMMARY<\/strong> : 16-year-old Mathis, from Seine-et-Marne, took part for the first time in the finals of the world-famous Top Model Europe modeling contest, held in Brussels in November 2025.<\/p>\n

With no previous experience in the industry, he entered the competition on his mother's initiative. After several rounds of selection from over 25,000 applicants, he made it into the select group of finalists who were called upon to parade in front of fashion professionals.<\/p>\n

Before the final, Mathis attended several preparation courses, focusing on posture, gait, emotional management and stage expression. He explains that these steps are crucial when you're just starting out: \u00abAt first, when you have no experience, it's hard to get used to it. But it doesn't take long to learn to walk like the professionals and get into the swing of things.\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

At the final, he walked the catwalk in a professional setting and was chosen by a designer to present one of her creations. He describes the event as \u00aban incredible experience\u00bb<\/em> and \u00absomething surreal\u00bb<\/em>, The event was marked by exchanges with designers and mutual support between participants.<\/p>\n

Although he didn't make it to the podium, Mathis says the experience helped him gain confidence and get a real feel for the world of modeling. He also points out that his participation in the final enabled him to land several photo-model contracts, and doesn't rule out repeating the experience.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Tom (19) - Winner: \u00abJean-Paul Gaultier's fetish model, ... at the break, he came to see me to give me some advice.\u00bb<\/div> <\/div> \n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

SUMMARY<\/strong> Tom, 19, from Montluel (Ain), has won the Top Model Europe 2025 final, elected from some 95 finalists following a selection process that initially attracted almost 25,000 candidates.<\/p>\n

The article highlights the criteria evaluated during the final (ease, walk, presence on the podium), as well as the attention paid by a jury of professionals. In particular, Tom is said to have received backstage advice from Lazaro Cuervo Costa, Jean-Paul Gaultier's favorite model, who sat on the jury.<\/p>\n

Although the first professional solicitations have already begun, Tom insists on a structured and measured approach. He wants to keep a cool head, refusing certain proposals if necessary and prioritizing his studies in management and administration, while gradually opening up opportunities in the fashion world. He is currently in Paris for a photo shoot.<\/p>\n

The entire article presents the competition as a springboard for career development, while stressing the importance of support, a framework and realistic timing in building a career path.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
