Erika Linder, a renowned androgynous model, has made a significant impact in the fashion world, setting herself apart as one of the most iconic figures in the industry.
Born on May 11, 1990, in Sweden, Linder was raised in a small village just outside of Stockholm, where she developed a passion for soccer. Her early life took an unexpected turn when she was discovered by an agent at the age of 14 while attending an outdoor concert. However, it wasn't until six years later that she decided to pursue a career in modeling, having initially considered studying law.
Linder's rise to fame began in 2012 when she appeared alongside her then-partner, fellow androgynous model Andrej Pejic, in various media outlets. Her versatility and dedication to her craft have earned her a reputation as one of the most prominent 'tomboy' models in the fashion world.
Interestingly, Linder's resemblance to Hollywood stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kristen Stewart has drawn significant attention. In 2011, she starred in a photo shoot for Candy magazine, portraying a young Leonardo DiCaprio. This was her first time leaving her native Stockholm to pose in Paris, and the shoot was a resounding success, catapulting her name to the forefront of avant-garde magazine editors.
Since then, Linder has been featured in prominent publications such as the Italian edition of Vogue, V, Hair, Cover, Forward, Oyster, and Muse, as well as various gateways in Los Angeles, New York, and Australia. Despite her success, Linder views modeling as just one aspect of her life, rather than her primary focus.
