Ambassadors, Norris Ford and Quentin
Thrash. With only such a short time being

has made a big splash in the LA fashion

catch them looking anything less than
stellar in their appearance.
Styling themselves and others is a natural
talent for the two. They get their
inspiration from everything around them.
They both have a knack for taking clients
and making them comfortable with trying
something new all while being able to
incorporate their existing sense of style.
Since being in Los Angeles,
NORRISxTHRASH™ has had great
success in styling for celebrities
including: Actor, Omari Hardwick for
KRAVE Magazine; NFL Star, AJ Green of
the Cincinnati Bengals; Actor/Comedian,

members of the group, Twenty One Pilots for their music video “Holding On To You,”

NORRISxTHRASH™ has big plans to take their brand and incorporate it in all
aspects of the industry, eventually making it a household name. This is just the
beginning for the two and they have no plans to slow down anytime soon!
Norris was Born in Athens, GA., but
blessed to be raised in Thomasville, GA.
by his adoptive family, Christine and
Edgar Ford. After graduating from
Thomasville High School, where he
participated in football and track, he
enrolled into Savannah State University.
He then joined the great organization of
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. during
his second year where he held the
position Chairman of the social
committee. After finishing three years of
college with a focus towards business
marketing, he decided to take his last
year off to explore this innermost
passion for modeling.
The art of fashion has always been a part
of his lifestyle since the age of 5. As a
young boy, he would show off different
styles of clothing when visitors would
stop by his foster home, where he and
his younger sister were seeking a family.
He believes his pride and presentation
were essential because those visitors
would determine his future.
Therefore, he made sure he put together creative outfits that he believed would
attract them the most. The importance of his physical appearance only grew. He
received the best dressed award as a superlative by his senior high school class.
Receiving that award reminded him of his parents’ motto, “Always dress to impress,
because the first impression is always the last impression.” These series of events
have continuously fueled his ambitions to prepare himself for better opportunities,
by moving to city of Los Angeles.

Quentin was born and raised in Georgia, then later moved to Florida where he graduated high school and relocated to Charleston, South Carolina, where he attended college. Not only was this collegiate athlete known for his skills on the football field, but also for his bold, daring sense of style around the city. After college, he proceeded to follow his dream of becoming a celebrity barber by obtaining his barber’s license and branding himself as one of the only “fashion forward” barbers in town.
This sense of style that he possessed caught the eye of local photographers and modeling agencies throughout Charleston, which launched him into the modeling industry. While styling himself for personal photo-shoots, he found a new passion for styling others for their shoots as well. Now with all of these accomplishments under his belt, he has moved to Los Angeles California to truly live out his dream of becoming the celebrity barber/fashion stylist he has always wanted to become.
