IRL, this 21-year-old model, who grew up in Vesterbro in Copenhagen, the son of a Danish mother and French father, is not as unapproachable as he looked at Saint Laurent. Partial to a smile emoticon or two, this Dane was discovered on Facebook in 2017. “I was only about 170cm, so it wasn’t until 2020 where I was tall enough and contacted them again. Shortly after they set me up with a Danish agent and I did my first runway for Valentino,” he explained in an email exchange. Paris is great for work, but Flerquin prefers Copenhagen. “In Denmark we have a saying ude godt, hjemme bedst (away is good, home is best—(it sounds better in Danish), which I agree with.”
Off the catwalk Fleurquin is often found in the Nørrebro neighborhood (Copenhagen’s LES), drinking coffee at “Minas Kaffebar” or having a drink while playing darts or billiards at “Dilligencen.” He finds his passion for video games (TF2, CS:GO, Overwatch, and Fortnite) waning as his interest in music continues to grow. A Roskilde attendee since he was 15, Fleurquin is in his techno phase. “I almost only listen to trance, mainly forest trance, psytrance, and progressive trance. My favorite label is a local one, called “Kontoret Records” which translates as ‘the office records,’” he explains. His top artist at the moment is called Ka-sol.
