For the latest edition of The Journal from Mr Porter, the retailer catches up with one of our favorite American models, RJ Rogenski. Traveling to upstate New York to visit RJ at home, photographer Billy Kidd and stylist Mitchell Belk collaborate. Speaking about his dream home, RJ shares, “I always dreamed of having a place of my own – an escape.” Modeling enabled him to accomplish his dream. Three years after leaving his hometown of Youngstown, Ohio with only $300 to his name, RJ was able to make himself a name in modeling and purchase his home. Now at the age of 32, RJ finds satisfaction in a rural Hudson home surrounded by 10 acres. Find out more about RJ at MrPorter.com.
