Michael B. Jordan Gave A Group
Of High Schoolers The Ultimate Fashion Week Experience At Coach
The front row at a Coach show is always filled with stars, but the highlight of Spring 2020’s guest list was- n't the usual line-up of actors, models, or even stylish ath- letes. Instead, it was the group of students from Essex County Newark Tech High School’s fashion club, who sat front and center on the High Line to take in Stuart Vevers’s New Wave-in- spired runway show. Invited by Black Panther star and Coach global ambassador, Michael B. Jordan, they sat with interns from his Out- lier Society Fellowship initia- tive.
The program was initially launched to provide kids from underrepresented com- munities with greater access to internships and mentor-
ships, and open doors to the worlds of entertainment and the arts. With New York Fashion Week in full swing, Jordan wanted to apply the same principle to the world of style—and in the process, ended up bringing a group of teens from his hometown of Newark along with him.
“It was a seamless idea,” he said backstage after the
show. “It started with the fel- lowship; we’re trying to take people who didn’t always have the opportunities, but wanted to get into these fields, and show them what it's like to be in the industry. Since I’ve started to dabble more in fashion, I thought, ‘okay, let’s take that same spirit and bring it to fashion week.’”
