History
Charley Benson, (born 06/06/1894) attended the Glasgow School of Art between 1914 and 1916. He studied evening classes in Fashion Plate with Miss Gray. Fashion Plate involved the study of the human figure in Nature and Art, the study of drapery and material, the making of drawings for the illustration of catalogues and advertisements, and the designing of dresses as models for dressmakers and tailors. Throughout his time at the GSA, Charley worked variously as a Designer, a Ladies Tailor, and a Costumier. He lived in Motherwell. Charley was the right age to have been called up to fight in the First World War, however, it has been difficult to determine whether or not he did in fact serve.
