“I didn’t ever think I will get married, I like my freedom,” KOD said.

The highly acknowledged fashion designer disclosed that growing up, his parents were tolerant and permissive, which gave him the chance to make his own choices with parental guidance when needed.

“My parents were not hard on me, I didn’t have a regimented life, just live your life, as in when you went wrong, they would correct you. Forever I wanted to just be in the air and fly like a bird,” he said.

He however revealed that, he got married to his current wife, Ophelia Crossland based on the influence of his sisters and friends.

According to KOD, anytime his friends met him with his wife, they always stressed on how they would look good together.

“My sisters were really part of it and my friends, everyone who met Ophelia was like charlie this is your wife,” he said.

KOD, who doubles as the CEO of the clothing line, ‘Nineteen 57’ confessed that his wife has been very supportive and influential in his life.

“She has changed me in so many ways, as growing up she has taught me to be subtle in the things I wear.” he said.

“You know that saying, behind every great man there is always that woman, I don’t know if because she is not so tall, but she is right behind me and you can’t see her but she is the one who pulls all the strings, keeps me very grounded,” he further stated.
