I don't have the picture codes for the scans yet but I'll add them later. 
For now, they're also posted on our website if you want to look at them there.

“Own Projects? Sure!”
Bill Kaulitz surprised the world of music with an appearance as a model at the fashion week in Milan. In the Interview with Gala he revealed what this means for his band Tokio Hotel.

Bill picture: That went really well: Italy’s media was thrilled by the Catwalk appearance
Bill and Dsquared twins picture: Dsuared bosses Dean (left) and Dan praise Bill’s model potential: he’d also have “a wonderful face” along with the perfect figure

Twins picture: Two pairs of twins giving high fives
Even though the appearance only lasted for a few minutes, it could change a life permanently: Bill Kaulitz, 20, opened the Dsquared show dressed in skin-tight nappa [leather] complete with feather sleeves, which the Designer twins Dean and Dan Catan tailored onto his model-like slender body. [It was] A highly acclaimed performance. And the beginning of a new career? Did the Tokio Hotel front man try to shake off his image as a teen band idol at Milan’s Fashion Week? Max Dax, Chief Editor of the music magazine ‘Spex’: “Tokio Hotel are one of the few bands that have got the potential to transform and develop further. However, currently it all boils down to Bill Kaulitz having a solo career.” The singer would be unique,[and] a glowing and authentic freak: “He’ll go his way and could become a David-Bowie-like figure.” BRAVO’s Chief Editor Tom Junkersdorf, who helped establishing the band, also sees possible risks: “Bill feels incredibly attracted to the world of designers. However, not a single one of his young fans can still identify with him like this.” Gala learned how Bill Kaulitz himself sees his future in an exclusive interview.
You’re moving more and more away from the Tokio Hotel image with which you’ve been internationally successful for years. Has the band reached a crossroads?
I think we’re currently at a very interesting point of our career. Even we get older and develop. Fact is: I’m always trying to do what makes me happy. My look got more extreme over the years. And for young people that’s certainly more difficult to understand nowadays than it was in the days of “Durch den Monsun”.
Is there a plan of action the band wants to follow to make the step towards a more mature audience?
No. However, of course we’re aware that we’ve been branded as a teen band in most people’s minds. It’ll probably take some time until this is about to change.
Your catwalk appearance in Milan has been highly acclaimed by the world of fashion. Was this the beginning of a career as a model?
I could imagine to model again in the future as I was having a blast. However, just for fun.
Did you suffer stage fright?
I was extremely nervous. However, I also always suffer stage fright at our concerts.
What did preparations look like? Did you have a catwalk coach?
That would have been nice! Prior to it I also naively thought that there would be some trial runs where I could get some advice. However, unfortunately that wasn’t the case. No, I was thrown in at the deep end at [the time of] the show. (laughs)
With Tokio Hotel you’re part of a band, yet you’re always the centre of attention. Are there rivalry-induced fights with your twin brother Tom and the other two musicians?
Far from it! Everybody is happy about it being this way. Gustav and Georg can’t imagine being the centre of attention to such an extent and admire me and my brother Tom for withstanding it all. And Tom is also glad as can be that I’m the stage hog.
Are you planning to start a musical solo career?
I’d never quit Tokio Hotel. However, there’ll surely be times when we’ll happen to take longer breaks. I can very well imagine to get going with own projects then. However, the end of Tokio Hotel? Never!
