You probably saw Young Paris front row this past New York Fashion Week, where he made his splash into fashion. Now, the CFDA has tapped the artistic director, music producer, and song writer as a brand ambassador for New York Fashion Week: Men’s next month (July 10-13). The NYFW: Men’s Ambassador Program aims to connect both emerging and established designers with members of the creative arts, sports, and music industries in a spirit of diversity and collaboration. Previous ambassadors have included Kellan Lutz, Shaun White, Eric Rutherford, Jerry O’Connell, and Travis Mills.
Paris was born to Congolese parents in France and raised in New York. He recently released his latest EP, “Afrobeats,” and signed to NEXT Models Talent Board earlier this year.
