The clip showed the teenager looking as confident as ever as he strutted down the catwalk in a black suit with an open back. According to Vogue Germany, Henry also modeled a second look that consisted of a full black suit with an oversized scarf.
In addition to Henry, Klum is also a mother to Leni, 20, Johan, 18, and Lou, 15, with her ex-husband Seal.
Henry told Vogue Germany that his mother and his sister Leni — who is also a model — offered him some valuable tips.
“Leni told me to look straight ahead and walk as if I was balancing a book on my head. My mother told me to do my best and not forget to have fun,” said Henry, noting that Klum also reminds him to pay attention to his posture.
As for whether he has dreamt of becoming a model and following in her footsteps, Henry told the publication, “Not necessarily.”
“I have many interests – sports, music, film and fashion. I want to use the different creative experiences that are available to me to find the right path for my future,” said Henry.
Both of his parents inspire his creativity greatly.
“I admire the hard work they put into their success every day. Their creativity inspires me, and they have always encouraged my siblings and me to pursue our own artistic interests,” Henry told Vogue Germany.
