Flaunt connects with Vinyl actor James Jagger for a new feature written by Gus Donohoo. Photographed by Dani Brubaker, Jagger is styled by Martin Waitt. The 30 year-old actor is pictured in a tailored wardrobe that includes rock friendly fashions from Paul Smith, Saint Laurent, Prada and more.
Jagger talks about filming Vinyl in New York City, sharing, “There were a few moments which were kind of hilarious.” He recalls, “There was one day we were shooting an exterior shot of this golden era of New York as this incredible creative, dangerous, exciting place—and it might have turned a bit soft nowadays—and we were shooting on this avenue uptown, and they were dressing the street with all this rubbish because it didn’t look authentic.”

Addressing how music has changed nowadays, Jagger offers, “There has to be some kind of paradigm shift in music.” He continues, “At the moment, I couldn’t see it happening—the way the industry is. No one envisioned popular music. If you were in Vienna in the 1700s you had no idea. But right now, I feel like things have stagnated slightly, and we’re getting just scenes repeating themselves and bands copying other music.” Read more on Flaunt.com.
