#754 Jasper Cooper - the first son of NZ fashion a model?

I'm fairly certain the good looking young guy in the photo above is Jasper Cooper (on the left). For those of you who don't know, Jasper is the son of designer Trelise Cooper and former fabric mogul Jack Cooper (Cooper Watkinson Textiles). He's also stupidly intelligent. When I was in third year at Auckland University I was in a Classics paper with Jasper. He was 17 at the time and in year 13 at Senior College - ie. still a high school student. The bastard came top of the class. After school he went to Melbourne to study law, where - by all reports - he topped the university, then onto the Sorbonne in Paris to study politics. In just under a year he mastered French, then decided to go to Berlin to further his education. He's been there about six months now and I've heard he speaks fluent German. Did I mention he's also a talented photographer? He regularly shoots for NZ-started international street style blog Turned Out. And he's the only New Zealander who made it onto the pages of Scott Schumann's book The Sartorialist. No doubt he'll be the first New Zealand leader of the EU within the next, I don't know, 12 months?

These shots are from Berlin based label A.D.Deertz. I'll be keeping a closer eye on Jasper from now on.







I LIKE YOU!
