Education
After leaving Harrow school, whilst studying at Central St. Martins, Charlie was approached by the popular Japanese menswear title Men’s Non-No [1] to document his personal style in a street style feature which appeared on a monthly basis over a three year period.[2] He began working with other publications and went on to contribute on a number of styling projects. He now styles and consults with a selection of UK bands.
Career
In 2008, whilst studing for a degree in History of Art at The Courtauld Institute, Charlie joined his father to launch luxury menswear label Casely-Hayford,[3] a brand based on English Satorialism and British Anarchy. Joe and Charlie currently work between London and Tokyo where their collections are produced; they focus on the idea of duality as a foundation for the brand's ethos. International stockists include Dover Street Market, Colette, Corso Como, Barneys, I.T Hong Kong and Isetan.
