Exploring New York's Chinatown with designer Charles Jeffery

On a sunny day inside a fluorescent lit mall in New York’s Chinatown, director Emmanuel Olunkwa and Document’s Shawn Lakin met with the sweetheart of London, Charles Jeffrey. His reputation as the mind behind his namesake brand, Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, was born of an underground culture and passion for discovering rare treasures in unexpected places, like the New York Mart mall tucked underneath the Manhattan Bridge. Although Jeffery’s outward appearance exuded a gravity that drew in everyone, it was his personality, equal parts unabashed extrovert by lengths gentle and unassuming, that had everyone in the second floor of the mall transfixed as he made the space his own, just for the moment.
