Jack Paulsen wasn’t looking for this. He is 17, from Guernsey, and until recently was only thinking about finishing school.
Everything changed at the beginning of the year, when he was leaving a hotel in Manchester and an agent approached him to talk about modeling. Jack thought it was a prank. It wasn’t. Professional photos, interviews with agencies, a trip to Paris, and contact between Success Models agency and Dior followed.
On June 25, he walked the runway for the spring-summer 2027 men’s collection, in front of some of the most important figures in global fashion. He said the wait before going out was the most stressful part, but stepping onto the runway gave him a confidence he had never known. What began as a chance encounter on a Manchester street could now be the start of a career he never imagined.
