MMSCENE’s November 2025 digital cover spotlights top model Ondrej Mokoš, photographed by Sam Evans-Butler in New York. The story, styled by Daniel Jacinto, features looks from Hugo, Calvin Klein, Girard-Perregaux, Homme Plissé Issey Miyake, and Tod’s, with lighting by David Jaffe, grooming by Luisa Soler, and support from Debora Medeiros. Editorial and casting direction by Zarko Davinic.
Represented by Soul Artist Management New York, Mokoš has become a fixture on international runways, opening Dolce&Gabbana in Milan and walking for Moschino, Canali, Moncler, Fay, Bikkember, Giorgio Armani, and Versace. Campaigns include Versace, DSQUARED2, Esprit, Pull & Bear, Armani Exchange, and Dolce&Gabbana, with editorials in GQ Portugal, VMAN, Glass Man, SUPER Magazine, Man About Town, Top Fashion Magazine, and Esquire Czech Republic.
In the cover story, Mokoš shares: “Working across New York, Paris, Milan, and London taught me to adapt fast and be someone people can count on. Every city has its own pace. I show up prepared, communicate clearly, stay flexible, and keep steady energy.”
On boxing: “I love the honesty of boxing. You can’t fake rounds. Train, show up, do the work. That mindset carries into modeling.” Reflecting on his runway debut: “My first opening was pure excitement. I couldn’t wait to step out. I wasn’t scared. I wanted to be number one.”
Preparation for major campaigns: “I work out all the time, but the day before I really sweat to get the water out and keep the face sharp. I eat a little less, hydrate, shave, throw on a hydrating mask, and do some gua sha.” Mokoš credits Milan as his second home: “Friends, the vibe, and it’s a walking city. I know it by heart, so work days run smooth.”
Advice for new models: “Get great digitals, find a legit mother agency, and learn how to walk. Speak decent English, show up early, and be easy to work with. Don’t take no personal. Stay consistent and you’ll get through.”
