In the fast-paced world of fashion, it’s easy to get caught up in image. But for West Palm Beach native Mickledge Morisma, fashion is more than just aesthetics—it’s a powerful form of storytelling. In just two years, Mickledge has made a name for himself in the industry, walking in 14 shows from New York Fashion Week to Miami Swim Week, and completing 11 seasons of photoshoots. But his story didn’t start on a runway—it started in a dance studio.
Built From the Arts
At just 8 years old, Mickledge stepped into Ballet Florida Dance School and found something that clicked. That passion only grew, eventually leading him to coach and choreograph for his high school dance team—where he picked up the “Best Dancer to Excel” award in 2008. Movement became his language. Over the next decade, that love for performance evolved into a music career, with 12 years of recording, live performances, and songwriting under his belt.
The Turning Point
But behind the talent and drive, Mickledge faced his own personal battles—including a difficult chapter with mental illness. Rather than let it define him, he chose to rise through it. “Everything changed when I stopped running from my struggles and started facing them,” he says. That shift in mindset sparked something bigger: a desire to help others do the same.
Fitness, focus, and creativity became his anchors. Now, he uses his platform to show that healing and self-worth aren’t just possible—they’re powerful.
Not Just a Model—A Movement
Modeling, for Mickledge, isn’t just about looking good. It’s about meaning. Whether he’s in front of the camera or behind it, his goal is always the same: to tell a story. His latest shoot—on the sands of Collins Avenue in Miami Beach during Miami Swim Week—was captured by photographer @whoshotsameoh, known for spotlighting authentic style in the South Florida fashion scene.
What’s Next
Mickledge has his sights set on the next phase: fashion photography, deeper collaborations, and working with creatives who care about purpose as much as polish. He wants his work to speak for people who don’t always feel seen, to remind others (and himself) that “We Are Worth It.”
“I’m here to build something that goes beyond trends,” he says. “Fashion fades, but truth sticks with you.”
Mickledge Morisma isn’t just walking runways—he’s walking a path that’s bold, honest, and built on something real.
