Early life
Skriver was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her mother is an IT analyst and her father is a marine biologist. Her parents are both gay and Skriver and her younger brother, Oliver, were conceived through IVF.

At the age of 15, Skriver was discovered and approached about her modeling potential while on a trip to New York with her soccer team. Shortly thereafter, she was signed by Unique Models, an international modeling agency based in Copenhagen. She was consequently approached by other agencies outside of Denmark, but decided to wait to stay in school. After finishing school, she began pursuing a modeling career in 2011.

Skriver debut season was Fall/Winter 2011, during which she opened for Alberta Ferretti and closed for Prada. That season, she also walked for many other prominent designers, like Calvin Klein, rag and bone, Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, DKNY and Christian Dior.

LGBT advocacy
Skriver has on numerous occasions spoken candidly about LGBT rights and openly discussed her own upbringing with both parents being members of the LGBT community.

In 2015, Skriver was made a celebrity ambassador for the Family Equality Council and its Outspoken Generation Program, which aims to raise awareness about LGBTQ families.

She has said that her ultimate goal is that her story will “not be that interesting soon, because that would mean that society has come to accept LGBT parents to be just as traditional and normal as any other way of having a family.”

First Fashion Show
She debuted with Ready to Wear – Spring / Summer 2009 fashion show where she walked the ramp for Noir.

Personal Trainer
She eats healthy food and makes her own meals.

To keep herself fit, Josephine does lots of boxing, spinning and running. She is active since her childhood as she used to play lots of soccer. IT not difficult for her to abide by such schedule. Sometimes, just a week before a modeling show, she does some extra workout to achieve toned legs and core.
