Berlin is loud and multicultural.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We continue our SLEEK’s New Faces series by Fashion Assistant Catherine Edwardina. This time we catch up with the Berlin-born Benjamin F\u00f6rster<\/a> in a very cold industrial winter setting. Layered up in Warschauer, we find out the best spots in Berlin to eat Sushi, how it really feels to get scouted to be a model and what he will miss about the city when he moves away this summer…
\nSLEEK: What gets you out of bed in the morning?<\/strong> \nBENNI: A good song, which is \u2018never be like you\u2019 by Flume at the moment
\n 
\nSLEEK: Current\u00a0<\/strong>song you have on repeat?<\/strong> \nBENNI: \u2018Human’ \u00a0– Rag’n’Bone Man
\n 
\nSLEEK: What\u2019s your choice of music when you want to go dancing?<\/strong> \nBENNI: I really like electro music with vocals
\n 
\nS: What do you feel most confident wearing?<\/strong> \nBENNI: My favorite thing to wear is a shirt styled with a jumper.
\n 
\nS: How has your style changed and developed over the years?<\/strong> \nB: I used to only wear large graphics on all my t-shirts but now I only wear plain white or black Tees.
\n 
\nS: The designer you\u2019d love to model for?<\/strong> \nB: I like the campaign from Louis Vuitton so maybe for them\u2026
\n 
\n 
\n\"Benny3\"
\nS: Favorite spot to eat food in Berlin?<\/strong> \nB: Sushi bar \u2013 it\u2019s a place in Prenzlauer Berg called Mikoto sushi. I don\u2019t go there too often but on special occasions like my birthday or Christmas.
\n 
\nS: How would you describe Berlin to someone who has never been to?<\/strong> \nB: Berlin is loud and multicultural.
\n 
\nS: How have you seen it change?<\/strong> \nB: I am from Berlin and I have seen how areas have changed and become more expensive. Areas that people have lived five years ago are now double the rent. Berlin has become a place that is more for people who have money then students because apartments have become too expensive.
\n 
\nS: When you are not out and about modeling, what can we find you doing?<\/strong> \nB: I am at the Baltic Sea with my friends and we are Kite surfing
\n 
\nS: How did you get into modeling?<\/strong> \nB: I got scouted on the street.
\n 
\nS: And how did that feel?<\/strong> \nB: Before I was scouted I had a private photo session with a photographer who told me I should go to an Agency with my photos but I never did it. I was too busy. So when I got scouted I was like Ok, let’s do this.
\n 
\n\"Benny2\"
\n 
\nS: What do you always carry around in your Wallet?<\/strong> \nB: I have a picture of my best friends and I keep a one dollar bill from a friend for good luck.
\n 
\nS: What food can you absolutely not live without?<\/strong> \nB: Eggs \u2013 always two fried eggs in the morning
\n 
\nS: Drunk food?<\/strong> \nB: Chicken burger from McDonalds or Burger King. They are the only stores open till 5am
\n 
\nS: Worst Habit?<\/strong> \nB: I am a little bit messy \u2013 my clothes are everywhere and you will find lots of old coffee cups.
\n 
\nS: Where is the first place you take your friends in Berlin?<\/strong> \nB: In summer I would bring them to a Beer Garden next to the Spree and in the winter to Kauf Dich Gluecklich
\n 
\nS: What is your favorite Bar or Club?<\/strong> \nB: One of my favorite bars is called Morgen Rot because beer is really cheap. Only \u20ac1.80 and the bar and the people are super cool behind. When I was studying and I did not have to go to school I used to take my work there and study at the bar.
\n 
\nS: How would your friends describe you?<\/strong> \nB: Free-thinker and traveller because I love to travel \u2013 Last year I travelled for three months by car. I have an old VW Bus that has a kitchen and a place to sleep inside. Every month different friends would join me and the last month was spent with my girlfriend \u2013 I drove from France and Italy.
\n 
\nS: Highlight of 2016?<\/strong> \nB: Year of travel
\n 
\nS: What are you looking forward to this year?<\/strong> \nB: To have an opportunity to model in a foreign country over the summer and then at the end of the summer I will begin my studies.
\n 
\nS: What will you miss about Berlin?<\/strong> \nB: The possibility to do \u00adwhatever you want every day. In a smaller town it is not so easy as Berlin. You can go to a club on a Thursday and stay late in a bar on a Monday.
