Early life and education
editClara Shafira Krebs was born on May 19, 2002, in Germany to a German father and an Indonesian mother.[2][3] While she spent most of her childhood and teenage years in Germany, she often visited Indonesia to see her relatives.[3]
In 2019, she returned to Indonesia with her mother for a vacation, and was unable to return to Germany the following year due to the COVID pandemic. She then remained in Indonesia, where she attended university and pursued modelling.[4][5] After spending four years in Indonesia, she chose Indonesian nationality over German and remained in the country.[4][3]
Krebs has worked as a model since she was 17 years old and often endorses various brand products and local fashion on instagram.[2][3] In 2023, she modeled for Uniqlo fashion collection.[6]
Krebs graduated cum laude from Pelita Harapan University in May 2024 after attending the International Business Management program for three and a half years.[7]
Pageantry
editMiss Universe Indonesia 2024
editIn August 2024, Krebs was announced as one of the Top 16 finalists for the annual Miss Universe Indonesia pageant, signifying her first pageant experience.[8][9] The pageant was held on September 19, 2024, at The H Club SCBD in Jakarta.[10] During the bootcamp, she won first place in the Notion Knock-out challenge, where the finalists spoke about current issues in the world.[9][11]
Krebs advanced to the Top 3 round of the pageant, where fashion designer Harry Halim asked her: "How would you navigate a situation where a major brand offers you a lucrative partnership with significant future potential–but the brand is associated with supporting severe human rights violation, and refusing the offer would negatively impact your career?" She answered:
When it comes to making decisions in my career, I plan this out very thoroughly. I use my social media to influence others, so I am very thorough in choosing what brands I promote, what content I create, and what I choose to share with the world. As a social media influencer and also a mental health advocate, I choose my words thoroughly and I choose what I promote because I believe that we have influence with what we use in social media, so when it comes to how I can navigate my career, I would definitely choose things that align with my values. So I do not support brands that do not add up with my values, such as anything like discrimination that goes against human rights, and anything of that kind. I do not support it.[12]
Krebs went on to win the pageant as Miss Universe Indonesia 2024, being crowned by her predecessor Fabiënne Groeneveld.[10] She will represent Indonesia at Miss Universe 2024 in Mexico on November 16, 2024.[10]
