Since its humble beginnings in 1996, CHARLES & KEITH has long solidified itself as a brand that holds its own amongst the heavyweights in fashion. Founded and conceptualised by Singaporean brothers Charles and Keith Wong, the brand has rapidly evolved through the decades with its uncanny ability to push the envelope when it comes to innovative designs and groovy campaigns.
From releasing viral bags, shoes, and accessories to championing young designers and other emerging creatives, CHARLES & KEITH has tapped into every outlet within the industry. Its wide array of contemporary styles provides an endless range of versatile wardrobe staples, with its inexpensive prices making it accessible to customers across all age groups.
Apart from its fervent fan base of Gen Z customers, the past year has seen a steady rise of celebrities that have been rocking the buzzy brand. Style maven and pop icon Selena Gomez has been seen donning CHARLES & KEITH’s Gabine loafers and teasing it on her Instagram, while fashion’s It girl Jennie Kim has been seen performing in the Jules leather Chelsea boots during Coachella 2023. On the streets, British model and actress Jessica Alexander flaunts her style prowess with a striking monochromatic outfit contrasted with the white Petra shoulder bag and Pixie platform.
Given the commanding influence these stars have on sartorial trends, it is no surprise that CHARLES & KEITH would eventually make their way onto the red carpet as well. Throughout award season, there were sightings of the brand’s latest releases gracing the feet of many of Hollywood’s brightest, adding more star power to an already extensive rolodex. And with the brand’s recent collaboration with designer Chet Lo amidst tons of new flagship stores opening across the globe (Seoul in September last year and Japan early this year), there is simply no telling just how big CHARLES & KEITH can get.
