Finding a NYC apartment (\u201cCraigslist!\u201d), snagging a boyfriend (\u201cInstagram!\u201d), cooking (\u201cseafood, paella, lamb chops with mashed potatoes, breakfast\u201d) and, of course, modeling.<\/p>\n<p>She generated huge buzz during her first fashion week, Milan and Paris in 2018, walking for such huge names as Prada, Valentino, Alexander McQueen, Chloe, Loewe and Off-White. By the time New York Fashion Week rolled around last February, anticipation was high for Daniels\u2019 local debut.<\/p>\n<p>She dominated at Jeremy Scott, Brandon Maxwell and Tomo Koizumi \u2014 before flu and pneumonia forced her to drop out halfway through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe doctor came over and told me I couldn\u2019t leave my bed,\u201d she said. \u201cI was so disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now she\u2019s ready to make her triumphant, healthy return to the catwalk when NYFW starts Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Daniels was born in Cape\u00adtown, South Africa, the daughter of a mechanical engineer and a stay-at-home mom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause she was black, she wasn\u2019t able to study in South Africa\u201d due to apartheid, said Daniels of her mother. \u201cBut she did do some odd jobs and modeled a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her family moved to Auckland, New Zealand, when she was a young girl. Daniels was studying to be a \u00adsocial worker there when, at 19, she had a sudden change of heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI dumped my high-school boyfriend, quit my retail job and dropped out of university within four days,\u201d she said. \u201cMy parents were like, \u2018You can\u2019t do that!\u2019 But I already had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She modeled in Australia and Los Angeles a bit before landing in New York in August 2018 and signing with modeling agency\u00a0The Society.<\/p>\n<p>Now she travels the world for photo shoots and fashion shows \u2014 and to visit her\u00a0London boyfriend, a creative consultant for the streetwear brand St\u00fcssy who is also named Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>But Daniels finds nothing more thrilling than exploring New York. \u00adAfter crashing in model apartments for a while, she finally moved into her first grown-up place this past spring \u2014 a two-bedroom she shares with a schoolteacher \u2014 and she loves biking around, eating and vintage-shopping at Tokio 7 in her new \u2019hood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m getting really into \u201980s and \u201990s fashion,\u201d said the self-professed tomboy. \u201cI [found] vintage Prada and Dior that I would keep forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>As for having her own travel show one day, Daniels isn\u2019t ready to plan that far ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t even know what I\u2019m going to do tomorrow, let alone in the future!\u201d the model said.
