Most know Jerry Seinfeld as a legendary stand-up comedian and star of the hit 90s sitcom Seinfeld. However, it seems the comic is trying another career: modeling. Seinfeld recently posed for a campaign for Kith, and the photos blew up online.
Seinfeld Dons Fall 2022 Kith Streetwear Collection Ads
“Jerry Seinfeld for Kith Fall 2022,” the fashion line wrote in their post. The photos show Seinfeld looking very cool, wearing items from the line including jeans, a varsity jacket, a Mets cap, brocade jackets and a Queens College sweatshirt.
The clothes and accessories modeled by Seinfeld are part of a capsule collection developed by Kith, Russell Athletic and the City University of New York; more specifically, Brooklyn College and Queens College. Seinfeld graduated from the latter in 1976 with a degree in communications and theater.

The Kith items are a very different look for Seinfeld, who usually dresses in nondescript suits for public appearances and regular jeans, T-shirts and jackets in his everyday life. Fans were quick to share their reactions to the Seinfeld photo shoot online.
Fan reaction: ‘Why am I suddenly crushing on Jerry Seinfeld?’
“Ok, who knew Jerry Seinfeld could rock street clothes! I love this,” one person enthused. Another, parodying Seinfeld’s signature line, joked, “‘What’s the deal with KITH?'” Someone another called “the other Larry David.”
Others were more focused on the comedian himself. “Okay, but why am I suddenly crushing on Jerry Seinfeld,” one person asked. Another wrote: “Stop this. Jerry looks nice, I don’t want to be attracted to this man.”

As the internet continues to react to Seinfeld’s modeling debut, Kith founder Ronnie Fieg is thrilled to finally partner with the man he calls “one of [his] heroes.” In an Instagram post showing the pair hanging out backstage on set, Fieg wrote: “There are a handful of people I’ve dreamed of working with since a young age. At the top of that list was Jerry. There are very few individuals who have had the kind of impact that Jerry has had on me.”

He continued: “Having candid conversations on set with one of my heroes made me realize how incredible work can be when you put your biggest inspirations into what you do.” Seinfeld probably won’t be ending his comedy career to walk the runway anytime soon, but comedian Kith’s campaign could be one of the most talked about fashion moments of the year.
