Bravo 05/10 - Bill Kaulitz - Will he stop with the singing?

“Crass Model Performance! Will he stop making music?”
Bill as (F)Ledermaus!
The rockstar opened the Fashion Week in Milan with a spectacular outfit. What does that for Tokio Hotel mean now?

How is he looking?! TH-frontman Bill Kaulitz (20) already surprised us with a couple of funky outfits – but that’s really crazy! In a black leather outfit, draped with heavy silver chains and black wings, he runs on a catwalk. And that even for the designer-label DSquared² at the Fashion Week in Milano!

“I just got the offer to open the show two days before, but I said yes immediately”, Bill says in the exclusive Bravo-Interview. “Just before I was super excited and had to go on the toilette all the time” he laughs. “Because of this, they just put me the outfit on 1 minute before the show started. Moreover I hardly couldn’t move in that outfit. It was super heavy, like an armour. But how did Bill even get on the catwalk?

The designers of the leather outfit, Dean and Dan Caten (both 45), in person took notice of the TH singer. “I often wore clothes of this label, they saw it and sent me some clothes now and then. Then I asked them if they want to do our stage outfits for the “Welcome to Humanoid City”-Tour.” The designers confirmed immediately. “I’ll wear five outfits which are made especially for me. The other boys one each.” Like Bill and Tom, also Dean and Dan are enzygotic twins. “That’s why we understand us so good. Admittedly we met first one evening before the show, but it was as if we would know each other since years”, Bill revealed. “For example they feel exactly like we do from a distance, when the brother feels bad.

Did Bill already taste fashion blood and just wants to be a model?

“I really have fun to be a model”, the singer says. “It was always a dream of mine. And I definitely would do it more often with pleasure. But I would never put back the music for that. Music is definitely most important.”

Does Bill just like expensive designer clothes now?

“No, I still love it to go in Second-Hand-Shops. Sometimes I wear leather jackets which don’t even cost 10 euros!”, the singer says. “In the past I had barely any money. I tinkered and designed my clothes on my own. His twin brother Tom by the way, supports Bill’s performance as supermodel totally: “He would never wear such an outfit and he can’t understand why I do wear it. But Tom is totally proud of me…”

Star Search

The duel of the stars of tomorrow
Megastar: Singer Bill Kaulitz is celebrated all over the world with his band Tokio Hotel
Even rockstar Bill Kaulitz once began in a small way. When he was 13, he performed in the sat-1-show “Star Search” the song “It’s raining men” – and got eliminated in the last 16. Totally smart: Bill let the cameraman film during the recordings in the rehearsal room. Music producers took notice of the boys and signed on them. Two years later they made their breakthrough as Tokio Hotel. Their first album got sold 1.5 million times worldwide. Nowadays you can’t imagine the german music world without Tokio Hotel.
Also Tom will model soon…

Also the TH-Guitarist is going to become a model. He will advertise for sneakers of Reebok!

Tokio Hotel: A song for Johnny Depp

So cool: The four TH-Boys contribute the song “Strange” to the new Johnny-Depp-Movie “Alice in Wonderland”. Wicked – Nearly five years already passed by, that the four boys from Magdeburg stormed the charts with their debut “Durch den Monsun” for the first time. Nowadays the twins Bill and Tom (both 20), and also their band colleagues Gustav (21) and Georg (22) are at home in all charts of the world – with their latest album “Humanoid” they even got into the American Top 40. But now they want to concentrate on their german fans. Before the tour starts in February, their single “World Behind My Wall” is the highest new entry of the Bravo-reader-charts on #4. Congratulations!
