Ghanaian social media fashion critic, Charlie Dior has revealed that he is a nine-to-five employee.
He stated that he works with a corporate firm based in the United States to financially complement his social media influencing business.

Having studied communications at the university, the influencer decided to apply his course of study to improve both his skills and potential.
Regarding his appearance, Charlie mentioned that he is fashionable but limits dramatic outfits, considering the environment.
He continued that he works a 9-to-5 job during the weekdays and focuses on fashion criticism on weekends for relaxation and fun.
“I’m very fashionable at work, but it’s not drama. I don’t give drama at work because you can be very distracted. So a nice button-up shirt with slacks and nice shoes; things like that. Then I become a fashion critic on the weekend. I record my show in a little one corner.”

His observations of people’s red carpet outfits prompted him to record a video to share his opinions, which went viral and sparked conversations on social media, bringing him attention.
He exudes style qualities and has great confidence which radiates in all his looks.
