Who we are

Two men sitting on a cream sofa in a modern office with windows and skyscrapers in the background. The man on the left is bald, wearing a black sweater and jeans, with a watch on his left wrist. The man on the right has short hair, a beard, wearing a black blazer with brown accents, a watch, and rings on his hands.

Echelon Noir Productions is the brainchild of Jawara Wauchope, internationally renowned hair artist and creative, and Jrod Lacks, visionary creative director and stylist. With nearly two decades of experience at the forefront of high fashion, editorial and global brand campaigns, we bring a rare blend of artistry, cultural fluency, and production excellence to everything we create.

Rooted in a deep love for our culture and storytelling, we founded Echelon Noir to reimagine how Black narratives are seen, celebrated, and experienced. Our work lives at the intersection of beauty, fashion, and culture, blending our world-class industry expertise with a commitment to authenticity and innovation.

We build cultural moments that resonate, inspire, and shift the standard.
