Henry Samuel, the eldest son of supermodel Heidi Klum and artist Seal, has signed with Next Management.
Samuel, who recently made his runway debut at the Paris Fashion Week as part of a show by designer Lena Erziak, is looking to expand his profile in fashion and entertainment.
“I’ve grown up around fashion and entertainment, but stepping into this world myself is a whole new experience. I’m grateful to Next Management for this opportunity and excited to learn, grow, and find my own voice in the industry,” Samuel said in a statement.
Next Management will represent Samuel in the fashion space as he comes out from under the shadow of his parents — one a legendary fashion figure and the other known for his classic song “Kiss From a Rose” — and carves out his own career.
“Henry brings a unique presence and creative energy that feels fresh and entirely his own. He’s entering the industry to forge his own path, and at Next, we’re committed to supporting him through a 360-degree strategy that spans fashion, entertainment, and cultural relevance,” Josh Otten, U.S. director of talent at Next Management, said in his own statement.
As part of that fashion world reveal, Samuel recently appeared on the cover of Hunger Magazine to position himself as a promising new face in modeling. Samuel will also continue to be managed by Jennifer Love.
