Hi. I’m Garrett Swann, Santa Barbara native, a now New Yorker, full time realist, a gym rat, a go-getter and a wannabe millennial. Obsessed with great convos over coffee, I spend my days influencing the younger generations with my personal style, poise and panache.

A role model (pun intended) and GQ Insider, I’ve traveled the world as a model in campaigns for Allen Edmonds, Bergdorfs x The Woolmark Company, Billionaire (Phillipe Plein) Bombas, Brooks Brothers, Michael Kors, Chrysler, Dodge, hims, Indochino, Institchu, Loews Hotels, Moscot, Mr. Turk, SLH Hotels, 2xist Underwear, among others.

A couple years ago, I laughed when I made the “Silverfox” lists for Buzzfeed, Huffpost and OUT Magazine. I’m guessing #daddyisthenewblack. Now that I’ve accomplished that, I decided to evolve my social media platform including my IGTV production UNDERCOVERS, interviewing people I am fascinated I’m with “in bed.”

I am also a CMO of a start-up apparel brand called ALPHX in New York City, former star of several TV shows (Fashion House, Unusually Thicke) and questionable indie films (The Casserole Club), and my motto in life is “have swimsuit, will travel.”
