About Elli
Elli Herfellner is a full-time model and content creator working between Munich and Cape Town — always on the move, always with purpose. With a background in fashion management and years of experience in photo and film production, she knows the industry from both sides of the camera. Her modeling journey began at the age of 12, but it wasn’t until a spontaneous haircut during a Vogue shoot (as a producer, not the talent!) that she stepped in front of the lens full-time.
Elli brings a clean, edgy, and effortlessly cool aesthetic to every project — paired with positive energy, humor, and an eye for authenticity. She doesn’t take the industry too seriously, but she takes her work seriously: whether it’s editorial, fashion, beauty, or commercial. She has collaborated with brands like VOGUE, ELLE, Adidas, Porsche, Boss, Avon, Heineken, and Anastasia Beverly Hills, and creates social content in the fields of fashion, lifestyle, travel, and beauty.
What inspires her? Her mother — a fashion icon with the kindest soul — and the belief that real connection always wins over perfection. Elli is proudly self-employed and signed with several agencies. Her true career highlights aren’t defined by the biggest names, but by the best teams, the most inspiring journeys, and the moments that leave you laughing.
