In San Francisco, Charleston is most well known for his dynamic
presence on the runway in the Macy's Passport annual fashion shows. In
recent years, Macy's Passport, impressed with his expertise, tapped
Charleston to work as their model coach and runway trainer. He also

supporting charities and breathing new life into the San Francisco
fashion scene.
