Egor Dëmin stepped away from the basketball court for a packed week in New York City, taking fans behind the scenes of his first Fashion Week experience while also attending the US Open and several brand events.
Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Dëmin gave fans a look at what he gets up to away from the basketball court in his latest YouTube video, taking viewers around New York City for a packed week of fashion events, brand presentations, and the US Open.
Dëmin has become known for his interest in fashion, and this trip gave him the chance to experience New York Fashion Week for the first time. He spent several days attending different events, checking out new collections and meeting people throughout the fashion industry.
“That's my first fashion week,” Dëmin said at the beginning of the vlog. “I'm happy to go and meet some people and make some connections and maybe get some clothes.”
His first stop was a Brooks Brothers presentation, which immediately caught his attention. Dëmin liked the colorful setting and the collection, even pointing out a shirt with a double collar as one of his favorite pieces.
After Brooks Brothers, Dëmin made his way to the US Open. He watched Aryna Sabalenka play and was excited to see her compete in person. There was also a more important priority on his mind, though: finding the chicken nuggets at the arena.
Sabalenka won her match, and Dëmin celebrated the result before saying he was looking forward to following her in her next match.
He returned to the US Open the next day to watch a men's semifinal before getting back to his Fashion Week schedule.
One of his stops was a Dragon Bone event at the brand's store. Dëmin said he was excited to meet people there and check out what the brand had to offer. He also left with some gifts and expressed his appreciation for the invitation.
Dëmin then attended a PEdALED runway event, a brand he already had a connection with before the trip. He pointed out that he was actually wearing the brand's boots in the vlog and called PEdALED one of his favorite brands.
After the presentation, Dëmin praised the collection for its colors and unique designs. He was also impressed by the way basketball was incorporated into the presentation, making the event especially fitting for him.
The busy week continued with a Manu Leg runway show. Dëmin described the presentation as both unique and interesting, praising not only the clothing but also the performance that went along with it.
The vlog offered a glimpse into a side of Dëmin that Nets fans don't always get to see during the NBA season. Between fashion events, tennis matches, and meetings with people in different industries, the rookie was able to experience quite a bit of what New York had to offer.
The comments on the video showed that viewers enjoyed getting that look at Dëmin's life outside of basketball. One fan called him “the most stylish guy in the NBA,” while another joked that he could have been a model in another lifetime. Others praised the editing and said they enjoyed seeing more vlogs from the Nets guard.
For Dëmin, it was a chance to experience Fashion Week for the first time, explore some of the brands he already enjoys, and meet new people along the way. It also gave Nets fans another reason to keep an eye on what the 20-year-old is doing when he's not on the court.
