Hannelore Knuts was introduced to fashion as a photography student at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp.

1998

She participated in the annual Antwerp Fashion Department student fashion show of 1998 which included the graduate collection of notable designer Bernhard Willhelm.

That first appearance as a student led to her walking the runway for Veronique Branquinho in 1998, which caught the attention of a modelling scout and led to a feature role in a documentary on rising models.

1999

Despite initially declining the offer to become a fulltime model, Hannelore eventually took the opportunity and started her modelling career, quickly landing an influential Steven Meisel campaign for Moschino and Yohji Yamamoto catalogue for spring-summer 1999.

Her androgynous features quickly garnered recognition, and she gained significant exposure through her early runway and editorial work with prestigious designers such as Alexander McQueen and Jil Sander while becoming the protégé of acclaimed photographers Inez and Vinoodh.

Her remarkably swift international breakthrough kickstarted what is now known as the ‘Belgian Wave ’ of models dominating the ‘00s fashion industry.

She collaborated with the industry’s most esteemed photographers, including Steven Klein, Steven Meisel, Patrick Demarchelier, Juergen Teller, Peter Lindbergh and more.
