Arda Saatçi to make fashion runway debut in Paris

Extreme athlete Arda Saatçi is making his debut on the fashion runway during Paris Fashion Week. Known for his endurance feats, the 29-year-old German athlete will walk for Calvin Klein at the L’Oréal Paris show.

Saatçi has gained significant social media attention following high-profile endurance challenges, including running 600 kilometers from Death Valley to the Santa Monica Pier in approximately 123 hours. His previous accomplishments include running from Berlin to New York and completing a 3,000-kilometer trek through Japan.

Describing the move into fashion as ‘completely new territory,’ Saatçi will share the catwalk with models such as Heidi Klum and Kendall Jenner. The athlete, who previously aspired to be a footballer, maintains a rigorous training routine that he compares to brushing one's teeth.
