Dutch supermodel Bregje Heinen illuminates everything from the runways of New York to the landscapes of Iceland
When supermodel Bregje Heinen glides into Rudy’s, a bar in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen, heads turn, not surprisingly. Heinen is only 24, but she exudes a quiet elegance that somehow recalls the movie stars of Old Hollywood. At the same time, she’s also down-to-earth enough that she doesn’t seem out of place in a barroom full of daytime revelers.
Heinen was born in Borculo, a sleepy burg of 10,000 in the eastern Netherlands. She broke into the business at the tender age of 14 after being discovered by a Dutch modeling agency on Hyves, a now-defunct Dutch social media platform. “I had been asked before, but I never took it seriously,” Heinen says, forgoing the Budweiser in front of her for a glass of ice water. “My mom and dad looked into it, and it looked okay.”
