Cover Story: PAUSE Meets- Jordan Clarkson (@JordanClarksons) "I think fashion, period, is just a way to express yourself." Not since Allen Iverson have we seen an NBA player take over the fashion conversation in the league like Jordan Clarkson has. A true individual that demystifies the notion that athletes can’t dress, if someone told you that athletes are not known for style or fashion, we can certainly say this is not the athlete they were talking about. Standing at 6'5 with a lightning quick crossover and an insanely wet jump shot, Jordan Clarkson- or JC as his friends refer to him- is the Filipino-American NBA player who has crossed over into the fashion scene and scored big with a transcendent style that’s both fearless and playful, a bit like JC himself. A fashion risk taker who rarely misses, he has raised the bar of what it takes for an NBA player to be deemed an NBA player with style. When he’s not in his Utah Jazz uniform, Clarkson favours the cut of Loewe drawstring pants, Off-White or Rhude tees and whatever fire sneaker can get him from the team hotel to the arena, but he can just as quickly switch it up. Seen swaying through the streets during New York Fashion Week before turning heads at Paris Fashion Week, drawing inspiration from the likes of NBA legend Allen Iverson and future Hall of Famer Russell Westbrook, Clarkson is just different. Style is about being able to stretch your creativity, and Clarkson has exploited all of the power style can give him. Taking time out of his busy schedule, we caught up with Jordan Clarkson to discuss tunnel walks, attending fashion weeks and pre-game fits.
