Atlanta-based model Karras (pronounced like Paris with a “K”) Jordan is on a mission to be THE NEXT in the modeling industry.  This New Jersey native is on the right road when his travels had taken him to St. Louis, Mo. this past Sunday where he won the title Mr. Couture in the 4^th Annual Mista Couture Charity Style Contest, a contest where gents compete in their best fashion styles in various categories.

OUTSTAGN had a chance to talk with Karras soon after his win on his promising career.

OS: How long have you been modeling?

KJ:For not that long, But It is exciting!

OS:How did you get into modeling?

KJ:A friend was shooting for her clothing line and the model she had couldn't make it so she asked me to do it for her. After the shoot, the photographer liked my look and asked to shoot me. I agreed and Karras Jordan arrived!

OS:What was your most embarrassing moment while on stage doing a fashion show or event?

KJ: So far no embarrassing moments thank GOD!

OS:So what’s next for you?

KJ:Only the man above know that, but I plan on taking over the world if I am giving the chance. My life has been a movie filled with pain, laughter, good, bad, happy and sad but at the end of it all hopefully I will get a standing ovation.
