Fashion stylist, street style sensation and 1/3 of Rogues of London; Charley Van Purpz is Mancave London’s style icon of the month. We met Charley, at LC:M this January, on multiple occasions, doing his thing around the streets of Victoria House. Impeccably put together, he merges street with sartorial in a fusion of modern day swag. One to certainly take note of on the fashion circuit, add him on Instagram @charleyvanpurpz to get your daily fix of what’s hot to be sporting this season.

 

What’s the story behind Rogues of London?

 

Story behind rogues of Ldn, is just a group of like minded people getting together in fashion. You mix a designer, a stylist, a creative director, a model and you get Rogues of Ldn; we're like a high fashion rebel rock band. Hollywood vampires on a rough day and Oceans Eleven on a chilled day - just collectively cool. The head designer is a Savile Row tailor, which means all our two-piece and three piece suits, overcoats and shirting are measured to precision. The result is Savile Row quality with high street fashion prices. 

 

Who is your favorite designer?

 

Juun J has to be my modern day fav designer, he excites me with his designs; the layering, the bold prints, just everything really. I do hope I get to work with him or his designs this year.

 

What can’t you leave the house without?

 

My mountain hat from Simon and Mary.

 

What style items are a must-have for you this season?

 

Any overcoat from the Matthew Miller SS16 collection he showcased at LCM!

Where is next on your destination list?

 

Next destination, hmm I need to go to Sweden and Switzerland this year I hope.

 

 

Who influences your style?

 

My every day life influences my style, how I feel, where I'm at and what I'm thinking. I don't have style icons per say but I respect Nickelson Wooster - I wanna grow gracefully into my style like he has!

 

How do you take your coffee?

 

A lot of sugar, a lot of milk and no coffee for me thanks.

What is your favorite Instagram account?

 

Nickelson Wooster (@nickwooster) I love. Art Comes First (@artcomesfirst) is another and maybe mine a lil!

 

Take a look through our website, what are your three favorite items we sell?

 

I'm loving the Charlie Borrow roll top rucksack (black). The Daniel Wellington Classic York Rose and the LSTN Ebony Wood Encore! Is so slick!!

 

Where are your favorite places to eat in London?

 

My new fav spot to eat at the moment is Billy and Chicks in Soho; just amazing fried chicken and a nice, cool place to chill to good music while you eat amazing chicken. Also, always a fav of mine, Cha Cha moon, Thai restaurant in Carnaby street; I'm pretty much there once or twice a week; just amazing food.
