Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Mini was discovered at the young age of 10 by one of her professors’ daughters.
She began doing fashion shows and photo shoots for junior lines, and recalls her very first runway show as a “great time!”.
She is currently known as one of the most famous top models to come out of Sweden.
Mini parlayed her early start into an impressive career as both a model and an actress, making her film debut at the May 2004 Tribeca Film Festival in Point & Shoot.
That Summer, Mini made a special cameo appearance in Steven Soderberg‘s Ocean’s 12. In 2005, she costarred along side Meryl Streep and Uma Thurman, as SUE in the romantic drama Prime, directed by Ben Younger.
Mini has recently wrapped production on her latest project, En Suivant produced by Luc Besson, and directed by Jean Biraz.
In 2006 she has had guest star appearances on hit television shows, MONK and NCIS. In addition, Mini has been the host of Scandinavia’s Next Top Model for the past two seasons and can next be seen as the new reporter for Vogue magazine’s Trend Watch.
Mini has graced the covers of numerous fashion magazines including German Vogue, Italian & German Glamour, Italian Marie Claire, German & Italian Elle, and British GQ (who named her “the sexiest girl in the world”).
Mini also appears regularly in the inside pages of Vogue (American, Spanish, British, Italian, French & German), Elle (American & Italian), Marie Claire (American & Italian), Harper’s Bazaar, Allure, W, i-D, the Face, among others.
Mini has worked with many the industry’s most noted fashion photographers, including Peter Lindbergh, Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Klein, Paolo Roversi, Craig McDean, David Sims, Mikael Jansson, Michel Comte, Camilla Akrans and Mert & Marcus.
Mini has been featured in numerous high-profile advertising campaigns for Hugo Boss, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, Emanuel Ungaro, Calvin Klein Jeans, Moschino, Gap, BCBG, Donna Karan, DKNY, Liz Claiborne, Ann Taylor, Celine, Tommy Hilfiger, Rolex, Samsung, Piaget & Express.
In February of 2006, she was named the face of Armani CODE, the newest fragrance from Giorgio Armani, photographed by Steven Klein.
She can next be in the upcoming Sisely campaign, photographed by Terry Richardson. In what spare time she has, Mini uses her celebrity status to give back to the community. She is involved with various charities, including Operation Smile (www.operationsmile.org), a non- profit organization that helps children who are born with cleft lips, pallets and other facial deformities. Mini currently divides her time between New York City and Los Angeles with her husband and dogs.
She speaks fluent English, Swedish, and even a bit of French. Quite fitting since she comes from a family of linguistic teachers. Her favorite pastimes include figure skating, skiing, and spending time in New York City’s West Village.
