Luka Sabbat on Using Modeling as a Stepping Stone with 'No Vacancy Inn' Radio Palm Spring Edition
“I just happen to be a model, but that’s not what I want to do.”

During the first weekend of Coachella, Calvin Klein hosted an experience at L’horizon hotel in Palm Springs, where over 30 influencers from across the board got together. Curated by Virgil Abloh who headlined the bill alongside Brodinski, Alesso and Eclair Fifi, Denim Tears and Acyde also took the chance to continue their No Vacancy Inn radio show, as the two delved into in-depth conversations with the likes of Joey Bada$$, Dev Hynes, Pro Era, Taz Arnold and David Blaine. While each conversation brought out the unique characteristics of such creatives under the beating Pacific sun, the hour-long interview with Luka Sabbat was one of the more all-encompassing chats, with the New York model breaking down his creative outlook — much indebted to his multicultural upbringing and parents’ own successful careers in fashion — while also sharing how he balances school life with Paris Fashion Week, and the irritating comparison he receives time again as “the fake Jaden Smith.” Lock in to the interview below and share your thoughts with us.
