Meet the Indigenous Model Blazing His Path Through the Fashion Industry

Jacob is a young indigenous model that is making a name for himself in the world of fashion for his impressive physique and charming looks. His love for modeling started at a young age where he watched the classic western film Windwalker, a story of a grandfather telling his sons and grandsons about the epic battles of his life story. Jacob’s drive as an actor is to show the world that indigenous people can reach the top of society and look good while doing it, along with inspiring other indigenous peoples to make a name for themselves in industries that have long neglected their talents.

When multimedia artist Yi Zhou first founded her clothing brand Global Intuition in 2019 she wanted to make a stand against the exclusivity of fast fashion and make her works available for people from all walks of life. Growing up in Italy, Rome, and China Yi Zhou understands the challenges of being a different ethnicity than her peers along with the knowledge required to excel as a model and entrepreneur. As part of her mission to be inclusive she partnered with Indigenous model Jacob in 2022 to promote her Basic and Heritage clothing lines showing that everyone has the potential to look like a model regardless of their lineage.

For a long time, the fashion industry has been a cutthroat environment that denies people opportunities for the smallest of flaws and has unjustly excluded many ethnicities from rising to fame, with the indigenous peoples suffering the worst of this exclusion. While many fashion brands are only now beginning to see the potential of indigenous peoples in the fashion industry, Global Intuition is actively sprinting ahead to be accepting of the underrepresented that have been ignored for long enough. Through this partnership, Global Intuition and Jacob are fighting to show the world that there is a place for everyone even in the hyper competitive market of the fashion industry.
