Michael Schwartz, a Floridian turned New Yorker, started his career in the fashion industry as a modeling agent.

Crew, La Perla, Maybelline, Cartier, BCBG, Universal Music, Viacom, Madewell, Sony Records, Polygram Records, American Eagle, Hollywood Records, TV Land, and editorial clients, such as Mr. Porter, GQ, V Magazine, V Man, Vogue, Vogue Man, Vogue Hombre, Interview, Vanity Fair, ICON, Numero Tokyo, Harper's Bazaar, and Dazed.

Jackson, Daniel Radcliffe, Chris Hemsworth, Jared Leto, Alexander Skarsgård, Jeff Goldblum, Christophe Waltz, Future, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Amanda Seyfried, Ethan Hawke, Rose Byrne, Kate Hudson, Keke Palmer, Lauren Hutton, Kyle McLachlan, Elizabeth Olsen, Chloe Sevigny, Tinashe, Zendaya, Adrien Brody, Nick Jonas, and Kendall Jenner, to name a few.
