Yahoo Finance In The Know Honors: Yvesmark Chery
Model
Age: 24
Hometown: Brooklyn, New York
Yvesmark Chery went to college to pursue a career in IT, but life took him elsewhere — into the world of high fashion modeling. It all started when an ex-girlfriend signed him up for a casting. The 24-year-old took the opportunity and ran with it. Since then, he’s carved a lane for himself as a high fashion and commercial model with vitiligo. Throughout his still-burgeoning fashion career, he secured a gig with skincare brand Youth To The People and appeared in major campaigns with household clothing brands H&M, Adidas and Puma. He has also appeared in Vogue Italy — and that’s just the beginning. Today, he continues to lead by example as a flourishing model with vitiligo, telling Refinery29 in 2020, “I want other people to look at me and be like, ‘If he can do it, I can do it.'”
