#PARCINQFresh: Markkus Ethan

At first glance, Markkus Ethan may strike you as soft-spoken. But beneath the calm surface is a young creative with a clear sense of purpose and an undeniable edge. A double major in International Studies and Business Management, Markkus is proving that intellect and artistry are far from mutually exclusive.



His love for modeling stems from a long-standing appreciation for visual storytelling. “It’s about embracing the artistic nature of fashion and design,” he says—a philosophy that shows in the way he carries himself, both on and off camera. His style leans clean, classic, and minimal, with a fondness for timeless pieces that speak more in shape and silhouette than in flash.


But don’t mistake simplicity for lack of intention. Markkus is drawn to fashion houses like Yves Saint Laurent—brands that marry elegance with rebellion—and his aesthetic mood board hums with the sounds of 80s New Wave. It's moody, introspective, and honest.


Markkus isn’t chasing hype. He’s crafting a narrative. Whether through a lens, a quote, or a moment of stillness, he’s always reaching forward. His ultimate goal? To grow into the kind of person who makes success look effortless—even when it’s anything but.
