TOP male model Jordan Barrett will bring star power to Sydney’s fashion week, but he comes at a hefty price.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal the Byron Bay-raised model will be paid $100,000 to walk exclusively for designer Justin Cassin’s first show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival on Monday.
For what’s likely to be just 60 seconds in the spotlight — fleetingly up and down a runway — it’s a well paying day at the office.
Cassin has forked out the six-figure cheque and paid for the VIP treatment to secure the “it” model for his show, with the menswear line’s event set to become one of the most talked about events of the week.
Barrett will fly business class and receive the celeb treatment as the drawcard at the show on day two of MBFW.
The Aussie’s rise to fame has been meteoric, he has gone from living in a small town outside of Byron Bay to working for the biggest names in the business and partying with the likes of Bella Hadid, Cara Delevigne and Hayley Baldwin in just a couple of years.
He flies back to Australia fresh from attending the prestigious Met Gala in New York. It is understood Barrett will also shoot for GQ Australia while he is in town.
Barrett will not be the only well-known face to walk at Monday’s Justin Cassin show.
Christian “Prince” Wilkins, the son of Today co-host Richard, and retired Sydney Swans player Tom Derick are also booked to strut at Monday afternoon’s event.
This will be Justin Cassin’s first showing at Sydney’s Fashion Week.
“I’m a Sydney boy so what better way to launch the collection than in my home country, start from here and take on the rest of the world after that,” Cassin said. “I want men to be able to buy clothes with an international look and feel from an Australian designer, in Australia. That’s something I think has been missing locally for such a long time.”
