Günther Klum, father of supermodel Heidi Klum, is shutting down his model and influencer agency Oneeins Fab Management by the end of 2026. The closure comes as a surprise, given the agency's recent addition of new clients. The firm was long associated with the casting show 'Germany’s Next Topmodel'.
Günther Klum, father of supermodel Heidi Klum, has announced the closure of his agency Oneeins Fab Management. The firm, based in Odenthal, North Rhine-Westphalia, represents models and influencers. "After many intensive, inspiring, and successful years, the moment has come for us to consciously close this chapter," stated an explanation on the agency's website. The mediation activities are to be discontinued by 2026. No further reasons were provided initially.
Klum served for years not only as manager for his daughter but also handled the winners of the casting show "Germany’s Next Topmodel" (GNTM). A contract with Oneeins Fab was long part of the winner's prize. Since the 16th season in 2021, however, the models received different contracts and were no longer managed by Klum.
The 79-year-old has been quieter in the public eye recently. Reports of a strained relationship with Heidi Klum, such as his absence from her wedding to Tom Kaulitz, were denied by him in a 2023 Spiegel interview. He emphasized there was no rift.
Despite the closure, there was recent activity: In November, the agency signed a new client from the fitness industry, as shown in an Instagram post. In February 2025, reality TV personality Gina-Lisa Lohfink joined; she participated in GNTM in 2008.
The announcement came suddenly, even though the agency was active as recently as November. Further details on the closure are not yet available.
