Farah: What is your name?

Charlie: Charlie Matthews

Farah: Where are you from?

Charlie: I’m originally from a little countryside village in Gloucestershire, but found the rural way of living a little out of touch for my journalism cravings and aspirations. So over a year ago, I moved to the untrendy area of the East End, and have loved it ever since (minus the occasional muggings!).

Farah: What do you do – professionally and for fun?

Charlie:   I started off as a blogger, using it as a way to constantly evolve my online CV. A few photos down the lookbook line, I worked for Harper’s Bazaar and Men’s Health, before getting concrete freelancing work for Cosmopolitan which has been great. In my free time, I also like to watch Buffy The Vampire Slayer, which I’m hoping can become a fulltime job when I retire.

Farah: Who are your style icons and why?

Charlie: I’m usually more attracted to unknown and unaware style walkers that pass me by, rather than specific A-list faces. Anyone with a mix of beach style grunge with goth ticks my aesthetics!

Farah: What is your favourite type of clothing? What would you never been seen without?

Charlie: I could happily tattoo my black wax trousers to my legs. I’m also an addict when it comes to materials such as mesh, sheer and chiffon; textures intended for women that I like to incorporate into a masculine stance. My current obsession is patent shoes though!

Farah: When, where and how did you first hear about Farah?

Charlie: I had my first Farah shirt given to me by my father, and since then have always had a soft spot for the funky western vibe. They fit my East End environment perfectly.

Farah: What is your favourite piece from your outfit you were shot in? And why?

Charlie: I loved the rusty pink shirt; it’s a colour I don’t usually adopt, but I was really digging the quirky and grunged up beach vibe.

Farah: Favourite all time album or band?

Charlie: My music taste changes on a daily basis, but Fever Ray will always hypnotise my heart. And Rihanna fuels my guilty pleasure side.

Farah: What event are you most looking forward to this year?

Charlie: Beirut at Field Day Festival should be bliss, and I’ll probably go to Wireless if I can save up enough pennies.

Farah: Run us through a perfect night out for you.

Charlie: Drinking red wine from the corner shop at my flat, listening to Rihanna and taking regretful photos with my flatmate, then hitting Shoreditch and falling asleep on the night bus with a classy takeaway box on our laps.
