Peyman Amin, born in 1971 in Tehran (Iran), fled to Germany with his family at the age of eight. After completing his high school education and studying business administration, he was drawn to the dazzling fashion metropolis of Paris through his entry into the industry via the agency “Frankfurt One”. Soon after, he took on the position of “Director of Commercial & Advertising” at the world’s largest and most prestigious modeling agency, “IMG Models Paris”, where he managed top runway stars like Heidi Klum, Gisele Bündchen, Naomi Campbell, and was responsible for advertising contracts for brands such as Armani, Givenchy, and L’Oréal.
In parallel, the multilingual model agent found a new challenge as a juror in Heidi Klum’s successful series “Germany’s Next Topmodel – by Heidi Klum” (ProSieben) starting in 2006, a role he remained loyal to for four years (2006-2009). In 2009, Peyman Amin returned to Germany, published his book “Der Modelmacher” in March 2010, and produced his first own primetime show “Model-WG” (ProSieben).
After the success of the first season, the continuation of “Model-WG” followed in early 2011, which was broadcasted in primetime on ProSieben and the women’s channel sixx. As chief juror, he appeared on camera for 14 episodes of the TV format “Model in 1 Day” (ProSieben & sixx) in the same year.
In November 2012, Peyman Amin embarked on a journey with supermodel Bar Refaeli to extraordinarily exotic locations. In search of the “Million Dollar Shooting Star”, he supported the models as a mentor and juror in the toughest photo competition in the world (primetime, SAT.1).
In addition to his work in the media industry, Peyman Amin passionately advocates for individuals with Down syndrome and has been working intensively with the German Down Syndrome Information Center (DDIC) since 2009. He regularly participates in events such as the German Down Sports Festival and actively supports projects addressing Down syndrome, such as the feature film “Me too – Who wants to be normal”, to raise awareness and advocate for the recognition of people with Down syndrome.
