Meet Chase—A Melbourne-born freelance model with a talent for putting together a killer fit. Chase found himself inspired to begin modelling after his sister joined the industry. Having faced judgement throughout childhood and adolescence for the way he looked and dressed, he decided to harness that negativity to turn it into fuel to better himself and pursue a career where his appearance was his strength.⁠ ⁠ His first months in modelling proved tough—self-doubt crept in, chasing a desire for perfection which took a toll, forcing him to step back for 12 months to reset. Now, he’s thrown himself back in with a whole new, more confident mindset and has numerous exciting projects on the horizon—all of which he’s worked hard to secure for himself.⁠ ⁠ Style-wise, Chase is all about the thrill of the thrift. Some of his favourite haunts include Vintage Sole, Lost and Found Market, and Brunswick Savers. He first stumbled across the Rollie space while heading to BIBA for a haircut and had to check it out.⁠ “I actually knew someone who worked there, and I loved the space, so I headed in. I really love the shoes,” he says.⁠ ⁠ For our shoot, Chase styled our coveted Loafer Mens Step, a timeless staple that stands the test of time. He paired his new loafers with thrifted Dickies jeans, a classic black tee, an Arc’teryx beanie, a Diesel belt, and some signature jewellery. @itschasebijelic
