Toni Garrn was born Antonia Garrn in Hamburg , Germany . Her father works in an oil refinery and her mother is a qualified businesswoman. She has an older brother, Niklas, who is also a model. When Garrn was two years old, she moved with her family to London, and later to Athens when she was six. By the age of 10, she moved back to Hamburg with her family.
When Garrn was 13 , she was discovered by Claudia Midolo, the owner of German model agency Modelwerk during the FIFA World Cup 2006 in her hometown Hamburg, and then signed with New York agency Women Management .
In Fall 2011, Garrn started modeling for Victoria's Secret , firstly appearing in their catalogs doing the clothing line. Soon after she walked in the 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show , and did a photo-shoot for the PINK-line with fellow model Shanina Shaik .
In April 2012, Garrn was reported wrongly by the media to have been chosen to become an official Victoria's Secret Angel . The reports were all based on a misleading tweet by the official Victoria's Secret Twitter -account which mentioned Garrn as "#NewAngel". Soon after it was revealed that Garrn was merely chosen to star in a Victoria's Secret campaign for the "Dream Angel"-line alongside Erin Heatherton and Lindsay Ellingson as well as the "Angels in love"-commercial starring Elyse Taylor in addition.
Garrn lives in an apartment in Financial District, Manhattan in New York City with her best friend Ali Stephens . She is also friends with fellow models Karlie Kloss , Jourdan Dunn , Sigrid Agren , Anna Jagodzinska , Taryn Davidson , Frida Gustavsson , Baptiste Giabiconi , and Anna Selezneva
She skipped fashion week in February 2010 in order to focus on the final exams of the Abitur .
