Claim to Fame: First known as a surfer and skater with a daredevil streak, Mr. Mock became a catwalk regular last year when he modeled in shows for Louis Vuitton and Alyx. He has since graduated to influencer status, as evidenced by his sizable Instagram following and paid invitations to attend buzzy happenings. “I never in my life had the opportunity to go to events and get paid for it,” Mr. Mock said. Mr. Sachs took a shine to Mr. Mock’s new neon-pink buzz cut and asked if he could shoot a quick video for his friend Frank, who had a similar hairstyle. Ocean posted the video on his Instagram with a 👋 emoji followed by “@evanmock.” The video has been viewed more than 2.3 million times, and Mr. Mock’s social media following took off.
