Career
[edit]Cheshire was born in Stevenage, Hertfordshire and grew up in Hitchin. His father was a fireman and Cheshire aspired to be a firefighter or actor.[1][2]
Cheshire was scouted by Select Model Management at the age of 15.[3] Soon after, he gave up his drama studies for a career as a model and appeared in a campaign for Calvin Klein.[4] Cheshire subsequently modelled for Jack Wills, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Orlebar Brown, Stella McCartney, Missoni, Hackett, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister Co., Vivienne Westwood, Gap Inc. and Marks and Spencer.[5] Marks and Spencer reported a fifty per cent increase in the sale of men's swimwear while Cheshire was fronting their campaign.[6]

In 2019, Cheshire launched his menswear fashion label Ché, drawing inspiration from his 15 years in the industry. He launched the brand's SS21 collection and campaign in 2022.[9]
