A Civil Guard spokesperson acknowledged a media request Thursday, but deferred comment until a later time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe 35-year-old was widely known for his role on \u201cThe Only Way Is Essex,\u201d which he joined in 2015. Prior to that, he played semi-professional soccer with such clubs as Grays Athletic and Boston United. Hall\u2019s ties to fashion extend beyond modeling, having started two clothing labels \u2014 Prevu Studio and By Jake Hall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn his modeling days, he was featured with Dylan Brosnan, Christian Combs, Luka Sabbat, Diggy Simmons, Sophia Rose Stallone, Raury and Cordell Broadus in Dolce &amp; Gabbana\u2019s spring 2018 #Millennials campaign. Hall also walked on the runway for Dolce &amp; Gabbana in 2017 and again in 2018 on the night that his daughter River, whom he shares with Misse Beqiri, was born. Hall rushed from the runway to the hospital, as documented in a video by The Daily Mail. More recently, Hall had his own contemporary men\u2019s clothing label By Jake Hall, which he also modeled for. The brand\u2019s spring line was released in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBeqiri, who is a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/sourcing-journal\/industry-news\/how-spotlite-is-rewriting-the-rules-of-the-modeling-1238916985\/\" id=\"related_article_link_model-2\" data-tag=\"model-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">model<\/a> and \u201cLadies of London\u201d and \u201cReal Housewives of Cheshire\u201d star, was unavailable to comment Thursday. She is also known in the design community for having started, with her sister Valentina, Gallery by Her, a company that specializes in calm and craft-oriented interiors. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tA spokesperson for Misse Beqiri said Thursday, \u201cAt this time, Misse\u2019s focus is on supporting and protecting their child as they come to terms with this devastating loss. The family are asking for privacy, compassion and respect while they grieve privately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe couple were once engaged, but subsequently parted ways after five years and what was at times a tumultuous relationship that was documented in the press. In 2018, he was issued a restraining order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe British-born Hall started his first clothing company Pr\u00e9vu Studio in 2015. The smart-looking understated sportswear was sold to Browns, Selfridges and other stores. The coordinating styles were worn by Bella Hadid and Romeo Beckham among others. That start-up got underway after Hall\u2019s semi-professional soccer career wound down. In a 2018 interview with Phoenix magazine, Hall described starting his first company, \u201cBeing young and having no money, I worked from a garage with a second-hand sewing machine, so a friend who could pattern-cut and sew could make my dream come alive. They were not the finest of creations, but you have to start somewhere\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn 2021, JD Sports purchased Pr\u00e9vu Studio for an undisclosed sum. The following year Pr\u00e9vu was among the assets that were acquired by the Frasers Group. But in 2023, Prevu went into administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHall told Phoenix magazine that while growing, he always had \u201ca keen interest in fashion,\u201d because his father was in the \u201crag trade.\u201d As a boarding school student in Somerset, Hall used to buy clothes from his favorite stores and sell them to friends \u201cfor fun and a small profit,\u201d he told Phoenix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tLanvin, Yves Saint Laurent, and films like \u201cBlow\u201d and \u201cThe Champ\u201d starring Jon Voight were among his fashion inspirations. Asked for advice for aspiring designers, Hall suggested, \u201cStart today not tomorrow, believe in your vision and the rest will follow. Go for it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAside from his daughter and his brother Sonny, Hall\u2019s survivors were not immediately known.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Hall, a former model, entrepreneur and reality star, died Wednesday in Majorca, Spain.
