Synopsis
The idea for the “Next Top Model” format came from the American model Tyra Banks, who first went on air with “America’s Next Top Model” in 2003 and still moderates the format today. The show was introduced in Germany in 2006 and has been presented by Heidi Klum ever since. The winner of the first season was Lena Gercke, who in turn hosted “Austria’s Next Top Model” from 2009 to 2012.
