If you watched the video of the Marcel Ostertag collection for the spring-summer 2019 season, you probably noticed one model that stands out from the general order of models of short stature, but is very imaginative. This is Tessa von Walderdorff, she is a real countess, the family has its own coat of arms. Recently, she had a second surname Hilton, because Tessa married the younger brother of Paris Hilton, Baron Nicholas Hilton.

Tessa is not only smaller in stature than other models, but even walks on the catwalk in a slightly different way. The fashion world has attracted the Countess before, she has collaborated with various brands, tried her hand at fashion journalism and took part in organizing fashion shows.

It is important to note that Tessa is far from the first fashion model countess. Long before modern fashion shows at the beginning of the 20th century, many aristocrats worked in the fashion houses of Paris. After the October coup, our Russian countesses and princesses were forced to look for work in exile, some chose the world of fashion.
