Petra Nemcova and the newcomer from Mercedes-Benz make a dream couple. But not just outwardly – it’s also about their inner strengths. A meeting of stars in Berlin.
She flew into Berlin yesterday from L.A. to be photographed for Mercedes-Benz magazine. Then she was straight off to a charity event in Nice. Petra Nemcova, 36, seems completely unfazed by this schedule. She looks radiant and is in excellent spirits. “Isn’t Berlin just amazing?” she shouts, still posing for the camera. The Czech supermodel has already done work for the GLC campaign. But today it’s the first time driving the plug-in hybrid. As the photographer packs away his equipment, she invites us to talk in the car. We climb aboard the GLC 350 e 4Matic, which takes her – needless to say – straight to the airport.
Ms Nemcova, what do think of the car?
Green, stylish and practical. As it is adaptable to any terrain, you can use it on road and off road. You couldn’t wish for more. And just look at these stitched seams – it’s like being driven around Berlin in a giant Chanel handbag!
Do you always travel such a lot?
Yes, I visit at least three countries a week, often on different continents. I think it’s amazing to get to know different cultures and places. I’ve been doing this for the last 16 years.
