Tiktok superstar, Francis Bourgeois has recently been featured in an advert campaign program by top fashion brands Gucci and the North Face.
Francis, who is a student of the University of Nottingham trainspotting videos have been liked over 10 million times on social media platforms and as a result, brought him huge fame on the internet.
Mr Bourgeois who is a student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering had previously mentioned that he would like to have a job in engineering, has seen his career move towards modeling because of his trackside antics.
In the advert for the Gucci X North Face advert, Francis Bourgeois is dressed as an announcer and his fellow models are also dressed in the brand’s clothes board an old-fashioned train that is powered by steam.
Uploading the advert video on Instagram, fashion experts on Highsnobiety stated: ‘It is full steam ahead for Gucci and North Face brands as they take their collaboration to the tracks with Tiktok sensation, Francis.
‘With the firm collection focused on exploration and outdoor activities, there’s no one other than Francis Bourgeois to bring this concept to life.’ Francis Bourgeois told Highsnobiety that he had developed an interest in trains while on his way to school each day.
He said: ‘I would be amazed by everything going on outside through the window and I loved seeing the trains coming to the platform.’
‘From above the climbing frames at the school playground, we had the best view of the North London Overground Line, so I can recall spending my break times there.’
While he noted that none of his family members shared his passion for trains, he stated: ‘One of the most wonderful experiences is hearing and seeing other trainspotters and their experience in school. They have said that people would look down at them because of their passion for trainspotting, but now they feel confident about it and people respect them for that.’
‘That really encouraging to me because it was what I experienced.’ ‘It is not a cool hobby to do, so I didn’t make it public, and I feel that giving other people the same power that they can be very proud of it means a lot to me.’
Francis Bourgeois is no new folk when it comes to stardom, having recently appeared in a video that also featured top singer, Joe Jonas.
