Check out the full article and interview below.

At the fashion week in Milan, Bill Kaulitz surprised the music industry with an appearance as a Model. In the Interview with Gala he revealed what this means for his Band Tokio Hotel.

The appearance lasted only for a few minutes, but he could have changed his life with this persistently: Dressed in tight Nappa including a feathery-sleeve, which the Designer-Twins Dean and Dan Catan tailored on the model like slim body, Bill Kaulitz, 20, opened the Dsquared-Show. A highly acclaimed Performance. And the beginning of a new career?

Did the Tokio Hotel Frontman try to shake-off his image as a Teenie-Band-Idol? Max Dax, Chief Editor of the music magazine “Spex”: Tokio Hotel are one of the few Band, who have the potential to transform and develope themselves. But at the moment all the signs are speaking of a Solo-Career of Bill Kaulitz.” The singer is unique, a shimmering and authentic freak: “He’ll go his way and he could become a figure alike to David Bowie.” “Bravo”-Chief Editor Tom Jungersdorf, who established the Band, also sees potential risks: “Bill feels incredibly attracted to the world of designers. But none of his young fans can identify with him like this.” In an exclusive interview Gala found out what Bill Kaulitz thinks about his future.

You’re developing more and more into an other direction, away from the Tokio-Hotel-Image, with which you’re successful internationally since years. Does the Band stand at crossroads?
Bill Kaulitz: I think that we’re currently at a very interesting point of our career. We’re also getting older and develope. Fact is: I always try to do what makes me happy. My look got more extreme withing the years which is, especially for young people, harder to understand than in the days of “Durch den Monsun”.

Is there a strategy with which the Band wants to leap towards a more mature audience?
Bill Kaulitz: No, But we know that in peoples minds we’re still a Teenie-Band. It will probably take some time until this will change.

Your Catwalk-Appearance in Milan has been highly acclaimed from the Fashion World. Was this the beginning of your Model career?
Bill Kaulitz: Since it was a lot of fun for me, I could imagine to model in the future. But just for fun.

Were you nervous?
Bill Kaulitz: I was really nervous. But I’m always nervous, even at all of our concerts.

How did the preperation go? Did you have a runway-Coach?
Bill Kaulitz: That would have been nice! Naively I thought that there would be some test runs, where I could get some tipps. But unfortunately this was not the case. No, I was thrown in at the deep end. (laughs)

At Tokio Hotel you’re a member of the Band, but you’re always in the center of attention. Is there a rivalry between your twin brother and the other two musicians?
Bill Kaulitz: Quite the contrary! They’re happy that it’s like this. Gustav and Georg couldn’t imagine to stand in the center of attention and they admire me and my brother Tom, that we can stand all of this. And also Tom is glad that I’m the stage hog.

Do you have any plans regarding a musical solo career?
Bill Kaulitz: I would never quit Tokio Hotel. Sure, there’ll be times where we’ll take a longer break. I could imagine to get some own projects started in this time. But the end of Tokio Hotel? Never!
