Oliver Luke Cheshire (born 3 June 1988) is an English fashion designer, model and entrepreneur.

Career

Cheshire was born in Stevenage, Hertfordshire and grew up in Hitchin. His father was a fireman and Cheshire aspired to be a firefighter or actor.[1][2]

Cheshire was scouted by Select Model Management at the age of 15.[3] Soon after, he gave up his drama studies for a career as a model and appeared in a campaign for Calvin Klein.[4] Cheshire subsequently modelled for Jack Wills, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Orlebar Brown, Stella McCartney, Missoni, Hackett, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister Co., Vivienne Westwood, Gap Inc. and Marks and Spencer.[5] Marks and Spencer reported a fifty per cent increase in the sale of men's swimwear while Cheshire was fronting their campaign.[6]

As a writer, Cheshire has reported on Men's Fashion Week for GQ magazine and The Telegraph.[3] In 2015, he was named one of GQ's 50 best dressed British men.[7][8]

In 2019, Cheshire launched his menswear fashion label Ché, drawing inspiration from his 15 years in the industry. He launched the brand's SS21 collection and campaign in 2022.[9]

Personal life

Cheshire began a relationship with singer-songwriter Pixie Lott in 2010. The pair were engaged in November 2016.[10] They were married at Ely Cathedral on 6 June 2022, following a delay due to COVID-19.[11] In June 2023, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child. [12] They were spotted with their child in October.[13] The next month, Lott confirmed they had a son, Albert Charles.[14]
