Nikolaï is tall and hairy, has both melancholy and piercing eyes and a royal smile. After his first successful steps on the catwalks of the Burberry fall-winter 2018-2019 show and then Kim Jones' first show at the head of Dior's management in June, he lent his image to the Dior Homme spring-summer 2019 campaign and fashion show for the designer during Paris Fashion Week, Friday January 22.
But, according to an interview given on August 25, 2020 to the Danish newspaper
BT,
the prince is looking for his way: after giving up military training in September 2019, Nikolai joined a business school in Copenhagen, where he studies the administration of business and service management, two subjects they find "exciting".
Even if he doesn't close any doors: "What the future holds for me on a purely professional level, I don't know yet," he said.
By specifying that he “likes to work as a model” in his spare time.
His short-term dream: to study abroad as part of an exchange.
France, where he spent summer holidays, opens its arms to him.
In the meantime, presentation in pictures.
