Current life
Chuck, who recently graduated from Parsons in New York, continues to photograph Lana. The two continue to live together along with their brother Charlie and their family bulldog, Parsnip. Chuck is working on designing new Crocs for this years campaign in which Chuck stated 'It is a great honor to be able to collaborate with such a lucrative shoe company (Crocs), all of their designs are truly stylish and not to mention comfortable - they're great for when Lana and I decide to take a quiet walk on the beach. I have managed to come up with three designs, all inspired by my time at Parsons, my family and the beautiful art that passes my life everyday.They will be avilable at the start of Fall, so I'm very excited!' 'I have at least eight pairs in the house whereas Lana only owns one that she wears around the house a lot' Chuck laughed, marking the end of the interview. Chuck has cited her love for photography and Spanish cuisine various times. Chuck is fluent in Spanish, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Mandarin and Russian.

"When we used to live together in New York I used to buy these electric fish tanks from the dollar store, and I used to make her [Chuck] take pictures of me in front of the fish tanks. My nails were really long at the time and I would press up against the fish tanks and it just looked crazy. Our style started to develop together creatively to kind of reflect our love for Americana kitsch. Whenever she’d leave for work she’d come back and there would be streamers in the house and banners from the party store that she hated, but it started this style that I started to set the short videos to."
