Early life and education

Early life

Ewing was born in Douala, the economic capital of Cameroon. His father, Frederik Ewing, is an American businessman who died in November 2010. Mason lived until age four with his Cameroonian mother, Marie Francesca Elong, who was a model and seamstress. She inspired him and gave him a taste for fashion. Ewing spent a lot of time with her as she made clothes for her children. His mother died in March 1986.

His great-grandmother Élise then took care of him for three years. In 1989, he moved to the Paris region where he lived with his uncle and aunt Lucien and Jeannette Ekwalla, where he suffered extreme child abuse. Not only was he locked in a room for eight years and beaten, but also chili pepper was thrown in his eyes for a number of years. In 1993, he often ran away to seek help from the police and judges, asking to be removed from the care of his uncle and aunt.
