Gerald DeCock, Artist/Hair Stylist

“I owe a lot to fashion, for sure,” says Gerald DeCock, who just returned from Florida where he worked on a commercial campaign with Bruce Weber, with whose 1988 Chet Baker doc, Let’s Get Lost, he started his career.
Burned out on agents and mind-numbing mainstream work years ago, Gerald, who started out as a hair stylist, has let his career flow to a place that feels more natural to him. “These days, my work boils down to ‘anything visual’ really,” he explains. “But because I’ve always been picky and selective about the work I take on, it’s not like I’m burned out on hair, either”.
