There aren’t many athletes on par with Jordan Clarkson when it comes to fashion. Recently, he showed off his impeccable style while attending New York Fashion Week. He wore a Tommy Hilfiger enormous striped rugby jumper as he stood by the legendary designer’s side. He emerged from the hotel foyer wearing a Canadian tuxedo by Balenciaga from Demna and a big crucifix pendant by up-and-coming jeweler Alex Moss. He wore a sleeveless gray tweed suit jacket and skirt by Thom Browne to the Harper’s Bazaar Global Icons Portfolio and Bloomingdale’s 150th Anniversary party.

It shouldn’t be surprising to see a famous person like Clarkson wearing clothes by these designers. One of the Jazz star’s recent collaborations in the fashion industry, though, may come as a surprise. Clarkson is featured in Lululemon’s newest ad campaign.

Clarkson models a wide variety of the label’s wares in the “Your Move” ad campaign, from training-friendly neon yellow Pace Breaker shorts to more relaxed styles like tan trench coats. Clarkson sees potential for Lululemon’s next chapter, which may come as a surprise given his recent role with Ye’s Yeezy SHDZ campaign.

In all candor, they’re elevating the brand to new heights. Trends, workouts, or whatever it may be. Clarkson says Complex, “I think they are growing in all aspects of that. In particular, he loves the Parkway Insulated Coat he’s wearing in the photo shoot. To paraphrase, “that’s like my favorite piece ever,” he says.

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.”

In the NBA, trades and roster changes are commonplace. You, Julius Randle, Brandon Ingram, and D’Lo are part of a young core that has made a lasting impression on Lakers fans. All of you have now moved on to other franchises and made names for yourselves there. Have you ever wondered what would have happened if the two of you had stayed together and been given more time to mature as a couple?

Having us all there was always doomed to failure, in my opinion. I guess we were all stars in our own right [Laughs]. We all needed a change of scenery, so we split up and went our separate ways. I’m aware of the tweets and other online chatter. When you think about it now, it’s hilarious. The Lakers, in my opinion, did a fantastic job of evaluating us, finding our skill, and providing us with an opportunity by selecting us in the draft. But I don’t see how it could have worked out with us all on the same side. We wouldn’t have returned with a championship or anything, if you get my meaning. Whatever it was, they got LeBron for us. It’s all in a day’s work. Each of us shone brightly in our own parts. To develop in different ways, we needed to leave our familiar surroundings.

I watched you play for the Philippines national team. Please elaborate on what this means to you and the significance of basketball in that country.

It’s an honor to simply represent the nation. Love is always present for me. The encouragement is constantly present. Every opportunity I get to represent and perform for that country is a highlight of my life. If we are lucky in August’s World Cup pool draw, maybe we can win a few games and make it to the Olympics. That is the most important thing I want to achieve for the national team and the country.

We see you today in the campaigning, I know. You are featured prominently in store advertising, including large window displays. As part of this relationship, will you eventually release joint clothing? Do you see yourself participating in that?

Who knows? Perhaps, since I always put my own unique spin on things like clothing and style. That’s fine to be uncertain about for now. Assuming they let me be myself, that is.

The focus of the ad is on emotional well-being. The value of physical fitness for professional athletes is often emphasized, but what about the significance of mentаl health?

It’s been significant in helping me develop professionally and personally. I’ve always been the one to put in the effort at the gym, starting my day there and staying there until I’m done. However, I’ve come a long way as a person since I started meditating and taking the time to focus on my breathing and mentаl processes. Honestly, it’s changed me for the better and helped me have a positive оutlооk on life.

Obviously, with all the games and travel, the season can be quite demanding. How do you maintain your sanity throughout the hectic holiday season?

As for me, I usually just take my time leaving. Isolating myself in a hotel room is a common occurrence. I appreciate the peace and quiet of a space. I close my eyes, take a few deep breaths, and focus on my external environment. Right now, I’m just trying to soak up as much of this experience as possible. That’s already there. The buses have that. In fact, there are instances when I don’t even use my headphones at all. I’m trying to tune out the world by shutting my eyes and listening to it instead.

In addition, I’d like to sаy a few words on fashion. You’ve been out during New York Fashion Week, I’m sure of it. Is there a performance or event that you were a part of that really stands out to you?

The experience has been fantastic overall. The Givenchy collection was sick. Matthew [Williams] has an eye for style and always looks well-put-together. I thought Tommy’s show was fantastic. I susρect Jaylen Brown was involved in the events that took place in that direction. Although the show was rained out, it was still great to watch Travis [Barker] rock the drums. Even the rain was cool in its own way. The aesthetics seem to have been achieved. The combination of Travis’s drumming and the resulting water splashes made for a challenging workout.

There are other NBA players in the area besides yourself. Is it exciting to see the NBA’s style continue to develop? Many of you have become fully acclimated to the world of high fashion.

Simply said, it’s sick as Һell. For hoopers, and really anyone, it’s just another way to go after their dreams and take part in something they feel deeply about. It’s possible if you just put some thought into it. This is, then, just another path that has been paved for us to follow. This simply makes more opportunities available to the NBA’s rising young talent.

You’ve always been one of the league’s best-dressed players, but ever since you arrived in Utah, it seems like the conversation has really picked up steam. How would you characterize your own unique sense of style?

In my opinion, it flows nicely. What works best in terms of fit. Clothes are incredibly innovative in their own right, but in my opinion, the wearers are just as responsible for the final product as the designers. To give an example, if you see Kim Kardashian wearing a classic Marilyn Monroe piece, you wouldn’t sаy that “the Marilyn Monroe piece” was created by “blah, blah, blah.” Thus, I consider it all to be creative. Whatever I enjoy, whatever feels well, and whatever I think looks nice is what I wear. I don’t have to give it any thought. When I first open my eyes, the first thing I do is pick up random objects off the floor. My room looks like a wаr zone right now, with clothing strewn everywhere in preparation for fashion week. This is how I put on clothes.

Obviously, you’re focused on the games and the action on the court, but the photographs you posted from the tunnel are drawing a lot of attention, too. Do you pay any attention to that during the season?

Not at all, but it’s not like I’m looking at anything anyhow. This is how things are. The nicest part is that everything is infused with love. It’s all love if they’re paying attention. I don’t think I’ve given anything that might have an effect on my mind or body a lot of thought. That’s going to change the dynamic of the match. I feel terribly trapped. My coworkers and friends see me at work every day. Every day, I force myself out of bed and into the world, where I can concentrate on the tasks at hand.

In terms of the basketball season, there has been a lot of movement for the Jazz this summer. Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert are no longer with the squad. What are your thoughts on the upcoming season in light of all the changes?

Honestly, I don’t know. I’m prepared for anything at this point. It’s been nine years since I first joined the league. I feel like a youthful veteran in this field. Therefore, I am prepared to go in whatever route the team’s management, owners, and I decide to take things. I’m just wanting to win and take whatsoever team I’m on to the next level so that we can eventually win a championship, so it doesn’t matter whether I’m wearing a new jersey next week or if I receive a phone call tomorrow and have to put on whatever jersey it is. That is how I see it. I’m in Utah for one reason: to take first place. I’d like to make an effort to get to the postseason and field a competitive squad. It’s rough coming down from [that] high, man. For what seems like three years in a row, we’ve been victorious. A couple of years ago, we dominated the league. It wasn’t our best year, but we still managed to place fourth in the West. We threw away yet another opportunity to claim a championship. It’s tough, but the morning always brings brighter skies and the necessity to find a solution.
