Char Defrancesco Height, Weight, Age, Body Stats

Char Defrancesco is a Swiss entrepreneur, model, actor, interior designer, and fashion designer, known for his relationship and subsequent marriage to Marc Jacobs, a prominent American fashion designer. Before that, however, he was a successful name in various industries as he worked as a fashion designer with his own clothing store for hip and trendy dads. After the economy collapsed, Char also became a model in New York City, New York, and Los Angeles, California, USA so he could pay his bills. After a painful breakup, Char decided to redesign his closet at home and the image he shared of the process gained traction, prompting him to pursue a career in interior design. He also became an entrepreneur out of his own love of fragrance and relaxation at home. At one point, Char realized he’d spent more money on scented candles than he did on his monthly rent.

With that in mind, Char decided to produce them himself from coconut wax after doing some research to save money and make them exactly how he wanted. He received praise from his close friends, who were also designers, models and celebrities, and decided to turn them into a shop and create a candle collection called Let Char light you up . His 3 branded products – Lit , Empire , and Bae became a success and was praised by the likes of Naomi Campbell, among others. The lit candle, which consists of an original combination of hash and agarwood, and bae, made from caramelized tobacco, nuts, vanilla and charred wood, also have a travel tin version as Char needs to be portable himself when traveling. He is also an actor and has appeared in 1 episode of drama-mystery web series Sense8 in 2017. Char has also built an online following with more than 150,000 followers on Instagram.
