Mike Scocozza is an American journeyman and entrepreneur rooted deep in the world of music, art and fashion. While he is most known for his stint on America’s Next Top Model, he has also spent the better part of two decades traveling the world, exploring the unique, remarkable and heartwarmingly peculiar. 

Mike was driven by curiosity and a passion for learning from an early age. As a child, he was frequently found digging through his mom and dad's old albums, listening to as much music as he could get his hands on. At 14, he received his first guitar and before he was old enough to drive, began playing DIY shows throughout the Northeast. After high school, he signed his first record contract and started touring the country full time. After numerous tours, Mike moved to Los Angeles, and used his experience in the music industry to help others pursue their dreams as a talent manager. He went on to guide and shape the careers of several artists and musicians.

While living in Los Angeles, Mike had a chance encounter with supermodel Tyra Banks that would change his life and introduce him to the world of modeling. Mike joined Tyra’s show, America’s Next Top Model, in the first season to feature both guys and girls. From there his modeling career took off, signing with modeling agencies in Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Chicago and walking in fashion shows throughout the country. 

Being in front of the camera gave Mike the opportunity to explore the full range of the fashion world. Drawn to the creative side, he immersed himself in the art of tailoring and textiles, studying with master tailors and working with some of the most esteemed fabric mills in the world. In 2020, Mike launched Sarto Collective - a collection of designers, craftsmen and creative souls who are passionate about how things are made, down to the smallest detail. With the goal to make you look and feel your absolute best, Sarto Collective provides uniquely customizable and functional pieces that work as an extension of one's lifestyle.
