Premium fashion presentations today in 2022 from Jordan Brooks: Two years later, Jordan, who studied business before being scouted to model, dedicated to his Instagram and becoming a Travel Influencer, and trying his hand at acting which he claims is his ‘ultimate goal’. Over the course of the last two years, he has established himself with his sophisticated and timeless designs, and this month he is set to launch an exclusive collaboration with the storied heritage brand Allen Edmonds, a capsule of several offerings that reimagine its history and tradition from a contemporary, global perspective. “Allen Edmonds, to be very honest with you, is one of the brands that I researched from the beginning,” Brooks says. “It’s a 100-year-old company, they’ve been around for years, and I remember always researching them. They do really great shoes, very well-done stuff, so that was the point of departure for us: How do you take these well-made shoes and update them in a way that mirrors my storytelling, who I am, and my heritage?” Discover more info on Jordan Brooks.
My friend is a fashion photographer and director – she had been suggesting I try modeling for like months and I figured f*** it why not all I have to do is stand there and look pretty. She had begun working with Isabella and Harriet at LOVE magazine, pitching ideas for a photoshoot and asked me if I would maybe want to pitch something where I spoke about my experiences traveling and my love for film. I wasn’t sure at first, one I didn’t really see it as interesting and mostly cuz I hate taking about myself and being open like that I didn’t really speak about that kind of stuff to people I know, never mind posting something online!
It was the final show on the Paris Fashion Week schedule – and of a month of shows, and Miu Miu did not disappoint. Presenting more teeny, tiny mini skirts (following the brand’s viral SS22 piece), the collection was sporty and preppy, and was inspired by tennis. Devoting the entire collection to tweed is a tribute, explained creative director Virginie Viard. We followed the footsteps of Gabrielle Chanel along the River Tweed, to imagine tweeds in the colours of this landscape… This is what Gabrielle Chanel would do on her walks through the Scottish countryside: she would gather ferns and bouquets of flowers to inspire the local artisans for the tones she wanted.
I would would say if you really want to get into modelling dog expect to get paid all the time, its a tough thing to learn you’re getting paid through ‘exposure’, so defiantly have that mindset when you start, kinda like going to school, just be like this will benefit me in the long run. What was your favourite part about modelling? I love the clothing I get to wear and model, some of the stuff is a little outside of my price range right now so wearing designer stuff like that has made me look forward to the clothes I want in the future.
That did not mean however, that we didn’t see some digital presentations, as many designers continued to adopt less traditional ways of presenting their designs, whether through imagery, film or something else unique. However, the emphasis was definitely on the traditional catwalk presentation.
