When it comes to fashion, there aren’t many athletes that can compete with Jordan Clarkson. He recently displayed his immaculate taste during New York Fashion Week. As he stood by the famed designer’s side, he sported an oversized striped rugby jumper by Tommy Hilfiger.
He came from the hotel lobby wearing a Balenciaga Canadian tuxedo from Demna and a large crucifix pendant by up-and-coming jeweler Alex Moss. He attended the Harper’s Bazaar Global Icons Portfolio and Bloomingdale’s 150th Anniversary parties with a sleeveless gray tweed suit jacket and skirt by Thom Browne.
It’s not strange to find a celebrity like Clarkson wearing clothes by these designers. One of the Jazz star’s recent fashion industry collaborations, though, may come as a surprise. Clarkson appears in Lululemon’s latest advertising campaign.
In the “Your Move” ad campaign, Clarkson wears everything from training-friendly neon yellow Pace Breaker shorts to more casual designs like brown trench coats. Clarkson sees possibilities for Lululemon’s next chapter, which may surprise some given his recent involvement with Ye’s Yeezy SHDZ campaign.
In all honesty, they are taking the brand to new heights. Trends, workouts, or whatever you want to call it. “I think they’re growing in all aspects of that,” Clarkson tells Complex. He’s especially fond of the Parkway Insulated Coat he’s wearing in the photo session. “That’s like my favorite piece ever,” he says, paraphrasing.
Clarkson is the kind of celebrity endorsement that might really boost Lululemon’s status. His reputation as one of the NBA’s most stylish players continues to grow. Is he really the best, though? Even though he’ll probably also send flowers to players like Kyle Kuzma and Frank Jackson, he believes this to be the case.
Clarkson insists that “everyone got their own style.” To which she said, “But I think I’m the best dressed for sure.”
Clarkson, who will be playing in his tenth NBA season, will face his own challenges on the floor this year. Former Sixth Man of the Year Rudy Gobert has watched as Donovan Mitchell and the rest of the Utah Jazz have left the team. Clarkson’s nаme has also been included in trade speculations as of late, but he is committed to winning with whichever team he opens the season with.
“I’m ready for whatever happens,” Clarkson says. A player once said to me, “If I’m in a different jersey in a week or tomorrow I get a phone call and I have to put on whatever jersey it is, I’m just trying to win and take whatever team it is to the next level to hopefully win a championship one day.”
