A Rising Star in Todays Fashion Multiverse

When Evan Mock, a 21-year-old skateboarder, photographer, and Californian by way of Hawaii’s North Shore decided to lop off his shaggy dark lengths in favor of a buzz cut on a trip back home, he knew dramatic change was afoot.

Within the past two years, he has risen to a new level of stardom. Hundreds of thousands of people have flocked to his social medias, and he can now be seen in Louis Vuitton Stores across the world.

The elevator pitch for Evan Mock is that he’s a handsome, half-Filipino skater who looks really good in clothes and has bright hair that got co-signed by Frank Ocean, another colorfully-coiffed cool kid. He got on Ocean’s radar via another high-profile co-sign, the artist Tom Sachs, who recorded a quick video to send to Ocean after encountering Mock at a skatepark.

“Tom was like, ‘Hey, my friend Frank has cool hair like you, say what’s up to him!’” details Mock in a previous Vogue interview charting his rise. But there isn’t really any secret stuff that’s led to Mock’s success. He’s a charismatic, super-excitable young man that’s a pleasure to be around. That’s it.
