When Called By God A New Memoir By Patrick Andrew Kelly Is Poised To Stir-Up The Christian World
“Calling him energetic, focused or charismatic; all would be correct. But don’t label him a millennial because he broke the mold.
His name is Jordan Anthony Swain and in the 11 months since arriving in California he has modeled for over 30 photographers, made three nation-wide modeling tours, appeared in 5 galleries nationwide, one exhibit recently opening in Amsterdam and, has been the exclusive model in a new book.” -modelmayhem.com
Now a Contributing Stylist for USL Magazine, Jordan Anthony Swain has garnered 3 fashion spreads in this months issue. And he is also responsible for the fantastic styling of international supermodel Tosh Yanez for the July 1st cover. With hopes of a vibrant symmetry with the publication, Editor-In-Chief Patrick Kelly, is looking forward in publishing many of Swain’s artistic endeavors.
A bit more about Swain: “Jordan Swain is an active member of AFTRA Union (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) and finds time to volunteer at various organizations throughout the Greater Los Angeles Area. He also serves as a national educational speaker developing curriculum for Boys and Girls clubs and local high schools and holding motivational seminars for youth. This platform enables him to serve as a role model to local area students and community organizations.” -modelmayhem.com
“Among his recent projects was a month trip to Hawaii where he worked as a featured model completing 34 different concepts for photographer Roger E. Stillman in a just released 120 page coffee-table photography book titled “Reflections of Hawaii.” The book is available at blurb.com and through Amazon.” -modelmayhem.com

Congratulations to Nigel Xavier – Netflix’s ‘Next In Fashion’ Winner
Atlanta’s own Nigel Xavier beat out fashion designers Bao Tranchi and Deontré Hancock to be crowned winner of Netflix’s ‘Next In Fashion’ Season 2.
Who: Fashion Designer, Nigel Xavier
What: Winner of Netflix’s, ‘Next in Fashion’
When: Season 2
Why: More on The Show U’re Fun Side Campaign
Atlanta’s own Nigel Xavier beat out fashion designers Bao Tranchi and Deontré Hancock to be crowned winner of Netflix’s ‘Next In Fashion’ Season 2. Just 10 years ago, Nigel was a featured model for USL Magazine’s INSPIRE Young Men of Color Campaign, an initiative where we spotlight young men of color who express interest in music, entertainment, fashion, and the arts. In the series of photos displayed below, you can see Nigel in shots from our photoshoot at Tree Sound Studios, Atlanta, GA.
We were initially introduced to Nigel, who called himself Strokagenius at the time, by Papa (Producer Papa) who was also an up-and-coming music producer in the Atlanta Metro Area and was featured in the photo shoot with Nigel. My first impression of Nigel was that he was determined and unique. His sense of style was very different from other boys his age at the time and he was unapologetic about it. I think seeing this trait in him solidified my wanting to feature him in our INSPIRE Young Men of Color Campaign and photoshoot.
During the shoot, Nigel styled himself in his clothes, and I remembered having a conversation with him about his modeling and his wanting to become a notable fashion designer. As he expressed to me what he was doing in creating his clothes; it was quite interesting. This was a kid who could throw on anything, mitch-matched and all and it turned out cool as hell.
Seeing Nigel win Netflix’s ‘Next In Fashion’ only reinforced our efforts and further emphasize why we reach out to our young men of color and want to give them that push – that nudge.
With a new branding as INSPIRE Young Men of Color Campaign, we are looking to team up with more local and national figure to help support, mentor and spark inspiration and aspiration in our young men of color. If you are interested in shooting with one of our young men, please reach out to the editors at

Remembering Atlanta Fashion Designer Mychael Knight
We have just learned that Atlanta fashion designer Mychael Knight has passed at the early age of 39. We had the pleasure of meeting Mychael here in Atlanta during the grand opening of the W Hotel on 14th Street, and then a few other times throughout the years. Mychael was always a very humble and easy-going guy. He was also very talented and loved what he did – designing clothes for women who knew who they were. We have always through that Mychael had a great career ahead of him in fashion, supported him through his best designs and ones that was not his best. However, he inspires us with his love for the creatives, his passion and ability to go and get what he wanted. God bless you Mychael and may you rest in peace! -Patrick A. Kelly, Editor-In-Chief
