𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐳𝐢: From Colombian Fields to Fashion Feeds — The Rise of a Mallorcan Icon

Who Is Willcozi?

Charismatic, stylish, and resilient—Willcozi, aka Will Garcés, is more than just a content creator. He’s a storyteller through fashion, a former footballer turned creative visionary, and one of the most exciting cultural voices rising from Mallorca. With a distinct sense of style and a magnetic personality, Willcozi has quickly become a favorite among fashion brands and online audiences alike.

A Journey Rooted in Grit and Growth

Born in Cali, Colombia, Will Garcés arrived in Mallorca on March 10, 2020, with a dream: to sign as a footballer for Santanyí. When plans fell through, he stayed on the island, working as a gardener, carpenter, delivery driver, and even construction laborer. But his ambitions were always bigger—and grounded in creativity.

Raised by a mother who encouraged him to model from an early age, Willcozi soon shifted from football pitches to fashion studios. That background, paired with relentless discipline, forged the creator we now know on TikTok and Instagram.

From Obstacle to Opportunity

In his inspiring interview with Mentes Emprendedoras (Spotify episode here), Willcozi opened up about the backlash, criticism, and challenges he faced upon arriving in Spain. His story is one of overcoming hate, building resilience, and redefining masculinity through fashion and creative freedom.

In that conversation, he reflects on early collaborations, including a notable one with Puma, and speaks candidly about his mission to inspire others to chase their dreams, no matter what people say.

Through The Cozzy Club, a creative circle of around ten people based in Mallorca, Willcozi and his peers are crafting fashion content with purpose. They share an interest in style, storytelling, and pushing culture forward from the Balearic Islands to the digital world.

A Voice for Style, Sustainability & Self-Expression

Despite his rising fame, Willcozi remains grounded. He believes that dressing well doesn’t have to be expensive—just intentional. He promotes recycled fashion, vintage pieces, and style that tells a story. In his own words:

"There are clothes with history, and that adds character. You don’t need luxury—just creativity."

He also emphasizes the discipline behind content creation—what may look like a 30-second video often takes hours of planning, filming, and editing. His work ethic reflects his years in professional sports and construction alike.
