Model, Founder, Host, Content Creator, Reporter

Katharina Dodik

Well-known as the face of the ZDF documentary series Terra X and founder of the successful southern German outdoor fitness company traiNature.

My personal story is part of my strength. After years in the international fashion industry in Paris, Milan and Berlin, as well as my own journey through eating disorders, self-doubt and fast-fashion consumption, I decided to make a radical new start. With traiNature, I founded a company in the Stuttgart metropolitan area that goes far beyond outdoor fitness: ice bathing workshops, collaborations with fair fashion labels and a sustainable health concept have turned it into a true platform for change.

In addition to my entrepreneurial work, I have established myself as a presenter and reporter. I serve as the face and voice of the most renowned biohacking events in the German-speaking world – from the Flowfest in Munich, to numerous biohacking congresses, and finally to the Biohacking Fair in Stuttgart, the only one of its kind in Germany. There, I stand both in front of the camera and live on stage.

My ambition is not only to be a model, but also to represent a clear stance as a personality. I work exclusively with sustainable labels that seek to bring about real change. In doing so, I combine authenticity, experience in the media world, stage confidence, and a personal story that inspires many women and girls.

My credo: Acting fairly does not only mean choosing sustainable fashion, but also treating yourself with fairness. Our body is our temple – and we have only this one.
With this mindset, I bring not only a face, but also a message that stays in memory – in front of the camera, on the runway, at events, or in moderation.

Journalist, Coach, Slow Fashionista

Susanne Barta

Trying to change the game without giving up style and humour. Writer, moderator, and coach with a passion for culture, creativity, and sustainable futures, co-founder of Fashion for Future in Bolzano.

I studied law and earned a master’s in solution-focused coaching and management in Vienna. But more than credentials, I’m guided by curiosity, language, and human connection—always curious, disciplined, and deeply fascinated by culture, creativity, and how we build a dignified, responsible future.
As a writer, I see myself as a communicator, ideator, networker, and mentor. I’ve spent over six years immersed in the world of slow fashion—writing, interviewing, moderating panels, helping build platforms like Fashion For Future Bolzano.
My work spans radio (where I've created and hosted well over 1,000 programs), television, magazine writing, and curation.

Based in Bolzano.

Content Creator, Storytelling Expert & Campaign Strategist

Milla Kozak

My journey began with a love for creativity and self-expression, and over time I turned that into a platform that now inspires millions of views across social media.

I’m Milla, a sustainable fashion creator from California. Fashion has always been my passion, But the more I learned about how the industry really works, the more uneasy I felt about its environmental and social impact.

Instead of turning away, I decided to dive deeper, educate myself, and use my platform to spark awareness and change. Now, I use my platform to share the realities of modern fashion while celebrating mindful alternatives. From thrifting and vintage gems to spotlighting brands that do better, my mission is to inspire conscious choices—without losing the joy of style.

Based on the US West Coast, California.

Actress, Singer, Model

Nora Czapek

Playing roles in film and theater, but living my role as a role-model for the need to take responsibility.

I am an actress, singer, and model – but above all, someone who wants to take responsibility. For me, sustainability means respect: respect for our planet, for future generations, and for the people who make our clothes.

I believe small, conscious choices in daily life can make a big difference. That’s why I try to live as sustainably as possible and share this mindset with others. With my fair skin and natural red hair, I often go without makeup and use only natural products. This highlights my natural look and shows my belief that less is often more – for our health, our wellbeing, and the environment.

I know it’s not always easy to live sustainably in today’s consumer society, and not everyone has the budget for it. But sustainability should not be a luxury – it should be normal. Because this is about more than fashion: it’s about our planet, our future, and our values as human beings.

For me, fair fashion is not a trend. It is a way to show respect, mindfulness, and responsibility. These are the values I want to represent. In front of the camera, I am not only an artist, but also an ambassador for a conscious and sustainable lifestyle.

Based in Vienna, Austria.

Sceptic by nature, Best-Ager Influencer, University Lecturer, Author

Anna Gelbert

Sustainability can also be glamorous...I belong to the skeptical camp. I come from the non-green middle of society and want everything except bans and rules of conduct. But I want to prove it: Today's quality can also be tomorrow's sexiness.

Germany's Next Top Model (ProSieben), Trucker Babes (Kabel 1), The Biggest Loser (SAT1), Promis Privat (SAT1), Hochzeit auf den ersten Blick (SAT1) – these are just a few of the many TV shows I've written. I've also authored two books. I also write texts for podcasts like Reich.Schön.Tot (Rich.Beaut.Tot) on Podimo and present for events, and I teach not only students but also trainees how to write beautifully. I can be serious, I can be academic, I can be funny, I can be sophisticated, I can be snarky, I can do podcasts, and I can do books. And I enjoy the many opportunities to turn sentences into stories – and words into punchlines. Are photos everything in our smartphone world? Not quite. Because nothing can make us think, laugh, cry, and scream like perfect sentences.
I'm always looking for exciting projects that I can enrich with good texts.

My take on sustainability?
Sustainable can also be glamorous: I've always waved the word sustainability away wearily. It sounded so joyless, so unsexy, so didactic. There was always something I shouldn't do. Now, at 53, it's slowly dawning on me: I don't want to do everything anymore. I want to live in such a way that I only let good food INTO my body, good cosmetics ON my body, and good clothing ON my body. As a self-proclaimed fast-fashion lover, my first instinct was always to reach for the trendy quick fixes on the ZARA rack. Wear them for one season, bam, they're gone. Since menopause, where I've started sweating more and thinking more, I've often paused to think: What if I buy things that last longer? Things that my daughter will one day cherish as vintage treasures, things that I develop a relationship with, rather than just a quick attraction? It's an adventure for me, I'll openly admit that. But one that certainly can't harm me or the world. I belong to the skeptical camp. I come from the non-green middle of society, and I want everything except bans and rules of conduct. But I want to prove that today's quality can also be tomorrow's sexiness.

Model, Business Economist, Yoga Teacher

Adilbish Dulamdorj

Fashion can be beautiful – but it should also be fair, mindful, and sustainable. Healthy Lifestyle is not just a phrase.It’s a way of life I fully embody.

I am a model, business economist, and yoga teacher – with a clear mindset:
Fashion can be beautiful – but it should also be fair, mindful, and sustainable.

Born and raised in Mongolia, I was introduced early on to the values of inner balance, a deep connection with nature, and the wisdom of Buddhist teachings. The rituals I experienced in the temples of my childhood and the close bond with my grandmother deeply shaped my core values: mindfulness, respect, openness, and inner strength.

My studies in business administration and my life in the former East Germany taught me independence, structure, and the importance of community. Starting a family, raising two children, and navigating everyday working life brought many challenges. Yet my deep desire for a harmonious life, healthy nutrition, inner balance, and outer beauty has always been a strong guiding force – one that has led me down many meaningful and fulfilling paths.

I’m deeply grateful for everything I’ve experienced, learned, and contributed to.
It brings me joy to share the positivity I’ve encountered in life – with an open heart and a mindful view of the world.

Yoga, which has been part of my life for more than ten years, has helped me deepen this inner attitude: I strive to live in harmony – with myself, with others, and with the world around me.

As a Best Ager model, I experience how much joy, strength, and energy come from staying true to myself – while also being visible. I use this visibility to represent products that are sustainable, responsible, and of premium quality.

My mission is to inspire others – to consume consciously, to appreciate themselves, and to live with clarity and intention. For me, Healthy Lifestyle is not just a phrase. It’s a way of life I fully embody.

Based in Leonberg, near Stuttgart, Germany.

Model, Photographer, Student

Elly Geissler

Creativity, authentic self-expression and standing up for something - me in the first place. And all the values that make me ME.

Ever since I was little, I've loved turning old things into something new – I used to make wallets out of juice cartons and give old clothes a second life. I've always seen beauty in the old just as much as in the new.

For me, fair fashion isn't only about sustainable materials or fair working conditions, but also about making fashion accessible to everyone and representing it through many different personalities. That's what makes fashion truly diverse and exciting.

Performance Artist, Model

Monika Jantschnig

Monika Jantschnig aka "Harley". As a dancer specializing in expressive dance and Butoh, I combine physical presence with subtle perception.

As a dancer specializing in expressive dance and Butoh, I combine physical presence with subtle perception. In dance, I find a language beyond words. The costumes become my second skin and grant me new identities.

Movement, clothing, and energy flow become a symbiosis, often accompanied by specially composed soundscapes and symbolic movements that make the invisible visible.
In my performances, I like to incorporate the Japanese art form Butoh and combine it with sci-fi-inspired costumes. I sometimes use fabric scraps, garbage bags, or materials that others would throw away, thus breathing new life into them.

In my private life, I dress rather simply. Sustainability is becoming increasingly important to me over time. I recently discovered the perfect way for me to counteract the fast-fashion industry and conserve resources: clothing swap parties!

Getting older doesn't bother me; I move with the times. A Japanese philosophy of life, Wabi-Sabi, stands for simplicity and modesty combined with the beauty of time and transience. It inspires me greatly.

Finally, a quote from Rumi:
"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise, so I change myself."
