J.Crew's Olympia Gayot on Prep Fashion, ...

Liv Perez
About this episode

Today we're joined by my ultimate Instagram girl crush, the woman behind America's favorite brand, Olympia Gayot. As the Creative Director and Head of Design for J.Crew Women and CrewCuts, Olympia's vision has propelled the brand as a viral sensation, blending the nostalgia of past J.Crew imagery with modern styles. Her personal style is also killer and is a frequent save on my own account. In this episode, Olympia shares how she went from Designer Director to a Vice President, where she gets inspiration as a Creative Director, and I ask the burning question... is prep dead?
