Holding Court

Half-German, half-Czech ingénue, Annabel Böhm, who calls Singapore home, speaks like a local and can out-talk anyone in Singlish, on and off the set of fashion shoots and netball courts

No stranger to the camera, Annabel Böhm cuts an impressive figure in a crushed velvet column gown, as if it was made specifically for her, towering at an astounding 1.8 m in heels. After all, the 18-year-old half-German, half-Czech beauty—the only daughter of the inimitable society face Paulina Böhm—is a professional model, at least in her free time.

You can say that the apfel does not fall far from the tree—in the sense that both their styles and cackles are uncannily similar.
