Alexander Stangel Interview
Alexander Stangel is a Swede dude. That’s pretty swede if you ask me. Sweden is probably my favourite country (besides Canada, obvi). The Swedish have always had it going for them. First with their delish berries. Second with all the amazingly good looking people they constantly produce. And IKEA. And they always have really good style. They have The Milk Blog, which is a really cool blog even though I can’t read it. And conducting all these interviews I’ve realized that here in the West we are really lacking a lot of what our Eastern counterparts are on top of: languages. Why can every bloody person from Europe automatically speak English? They must really drill it in at school. Oh, right. Alexander Stangel is a 6 foot up and coming model signed with Kid of Tomorrow. He is fresh faced and ready to take on the world. He’s only walked a single catwalk, but don’t let that fool you. Is Alexander really a Kid of Tomorrow? Let’s find out…

Trey Taylor: Alexander. Or Alex. Whatever you prefer. Can you debrief us on what life has been like for you in Sweden up to this moment in time?
Alexander Stangel: The short story: I grew up in Northern Sweden and then moved down to Stockholm with my mom and sister. So I always have had the two of best parts. My dad still lives in the North.
TT: How did you come into modeling? Were you discovered or was it self-induced?
AS: My Family always have said that I have a special look and pushed me to search an agency, I checked KID of TOMORROW in a Swedish fashion magazine and sent them some picture of me, they liked it and say i should come to their office two days later.
TT: Do you play any sports?
AS: Yes, for no i do Thai boxing, I am a one person sporter, not really enjoy team play that much cause i always get angry when nobody passes me. Before i have fenced, played tennis, football, hockey and gym, of course.
TT: Why model? What made you want to join the million other good looking people out there?
AS: I have always been fashioned by models and thought it would be fun.
TT: So you’ve done one catwalk. Do you like getting photographed or walking down the catwalk better?
AS: Catwalk is fun cause you got like a kick when all adrenaline pumps through your veins, but it’s a lot of stress. Photo shoots are fun also but much more calm.
AS: Yes of course! give me a word and I will translate it!
TT: Do you hope to make it to the top one day? What do you consider success to be?
AS: I try to not have any expectation of myself. But if I make it to the top I would be more then glad!
TT: Where do you think modeling will lead?
AS: For me? I like art and I see it in that way, I think modeling more and more will be about art then just showing clothes.
TT: Give us some good Swedish advice.
AS: Classic swedish saying is: bränt bar skyr elden (burned child shrinks the fire) which means you will learn from your mistakes. g
