The Truth About Grown-Ish Star Luka Sabbat's Career In Fashion

Luka Sabbat explained to Into The Gloss that he began his career as a model. The actor was discovered in a restaurant at around 15 years old. Despite his initial hesitance to enter the fashion industry, he decided to take a meeting with the modeling scout. He explained, "She booked a job for me at American Eagle a week later. It was for the most money I'd ever made up to that point. And then I signed with her and didn't leave. I got editorials and other campaigns, but I got over modeling real quick." Though Sabat showed early promise as a model, he quickly discovered heart truly lies with more creative work.

At 17 years old, the artist launched his own creative company, with a close friend. Hot Mess works on installations, campaigns, video work, and whatever inspires Sabbat. The "Grown-ish" star doesn't like to limit himself with labels but is willing to brand himself a "creative entrepreneur." In an interview with Teen Vogue, Sabbat shared that he's already released two photography books and is currently working on a clothing line. Sabbat also explained that he has a flexible filming schedule for "Grown-ish" so he can keep up with his burgeoning fashion career. He revealed, "For fashion week, they wrote me out then wrote me back in. I have a whole separate career outside of acting, but they're open to working with my schedule."

This arrangement is perfect for not only Sabbat but also his loyal fans, who as a result can glimpse his talent both on the screen and on the runway.
