Yes, I am over 50, and No, I am not a vampire. I look the way I do because I eat healthy, stay active and avoid toxic substances. I prefer uniquely interesting people and I enjoy helping those I like to succeed in art and business. Occasionally I do photoshoots for my clothing ideas, but I'm mostly working behind the scenes on a long list of business development and consulting projects. I am deeply experienced in the craft of intellectual property creation and strategic business model development. What's that have to do with modeling you ask? Well, nothing unless you want to be challenged with non-conventional ideas and requests. One project I am working on is to inspire changes in mens fashions.
As a model, I am here to share ideas with other creative people who produce progressive and inspirational imagery in fashion and art. I am most interested in finding people who have a desire to shoot unique fashion concepts. I am available for TFP projects in trade for shots of my clothing designs. I am easy to work with, very dependable and can provide a wide range of wardrobe styles for your creative aspirations.
All of the clothing you see here in my portfolio is designed by me. - Sort of a neo hippie / modern renaissance style. I have hundreds of unique items from beachwear and fitnesswear to casual and high fashion.
For decades male fashions have been stagnant, homogenous, and boring. Few designers dare to break the social bounds of tradition for fear that the fashion industry could crumble. What if men had more choices? Would there be less wars and conflict? Would social unrest, greed and violence become a thing of the past? Would concern of global warming end?... financial markets stabilize?... and the earth become a peaceful and tranquil place? Perhaps not, but life on earth would at least be more interesting.
PM me anytime if you are interested in arranging a shoot or have questions or suggestions about my designs. I try to promptly answer all inquiries.
FAQ:
Why don't I look my age?
a: (short answer) I don't eat sugar and I consume about 3/4 gallon of olive oil per month along with lots of natural fruits & vegetables. PM me for the long answer.
Why am I wearing skirts in many of my photos?
a: All the clothing you see in my portfolio are my designs. I focus on making comfortable clothing uniquely different from anything else on the market. I find it easier to market things that have not been done before because the ensuing controversy attracts media attention. Skirts and other traditionally feminine fashions on men are a social taboo. Breaking rules is what I do.
Are my clothing designs available for purchase?
a: Yes. Most of the items are available on a custom order basis provided I have the fabric.
Is Jay Dezelic my real name?
a: No. It is a brand name for my clothing design interests. However, the name originates from the country where my family is from.
What is my lineage?
a: Nordic-Croatian
Am I single?
a: No. I have been happily married for over 20 years.
