We're back! To delve into the camera roll of another sweet human — Say hello to Jordan Farrenkothen.
The self-professed "tradie boy at heart" put down his tools this week to don a very good digitally printed shirt, jeans and tie combo — designed by NZ fashion's sweetheart, Wynn Hamlyn, nonetheless — for Tuesday's Frontier show. Then he was straight across to Farage, where he strutted the runway in a head-turning suit and sunglasses combo— chic.
Living on the beaches means he doesn't get heaps of time with his model mates, so fashion week comes with the added perks of making up for lost time (and literal hangs) with other creatives and profesh good-looking people. Come along for the ride.
Name: Jordan Farrenkothen
Nickname: Jord / Farren
Star Sign: Aries
Give us your elevator pitch:
I’m actually a tradie boy at heart, currently doing landscaping casually but also a 3rd year apprentice in carpentry. Aside from that I love being outside in the sun (Ethan despises my tan) and also music so I DJ too, which is hella fun.
Where do you live and where do you call home?
I live up in Monavale but grew up around Hornsby area, pretty grateful to call Monavale my home and being that close to the beaches

Favourite show you took part in and why:
Farage for sure, the meaning behind it with its 25th anniversary and the dedication towards Joey's mother gave it so emotion which pulled an incredible show together.
Best person you met backstage?
Can't pin it. I love getting together with all the crew and building relationships with them further cause being by the beaches spreads me pretty far away from everyone. But Jay Campbell, I had a spectacular day with him.
What do you do to fill time while waiting around backstage?
Having yarns with the homies mucking about but not causing too much chaos
Fashion week essentials in your bag:
USB, deodorant, moisturiser, a charger, and sunnies for sure.
