THE BACKGROUND

Career and background

Cavanis’s first experience in front of a camera came as a child. She told RTL that she began modelling at seven, but she also pursued a qualification outside the industry: after secondary school she completed an apprenticeship as an insurance and finance clerk. In a separate interview, she said she had once imagined becoming a midwife before following her father into insurance.Sources: RTL ↗ · RTL ↗

Her agency, Munich Models, presents her as a model and content creator whose work centres on fashion, sports and travel. Her commercial portfolio includes assignments for Victoria’s Secret and Lacoste, while a Nivea advertising spot brought wider exposure in Germany. Modelling and producing social content sit alongside one another in her public career.Sources: Munich Models ↗ · RTL ↗

In 2025 she fronted the FILA campaign launched by DEICHMANN. The production was shot in Barcelona and covered a coordinated range of footwear, clothes and accessories. The brand celebrated the collection at a Munich rooftop launch, where Hummels joined the guests.Source: DEICHMANN ↗

Munich remains an important part of her life. In an interview at a Longchamp event, she spoke about enjoying the English Garden and the city’s summer atmosphere, and said she could imagine spending time elsewhere without giving up Munich as her home. She also described wanting to continue modelling and creating content while keeping much of her private life out of public discussion.Source: t-online ↗
