school’s out for summer! and despite the ridiculously warm temperatures, summer has always been my favorite season. it probably has something to do with the aforementioned lack of school when i was a kid, and the fact that i grew up in sunny southern california. so of course, it’s an exciting time when the resort and summer collections come out, like olive summer 2015. shop owner laura uhlir teamed up with the talented jackie lee young for her latest lookbook with an exploration of “shifting scale, sliding perspective, and the interplay between two forms.” they were inspired by “guy bourdin’s early 70s work and the visual play between the 90s supermodel trinity: naomi campbell, linda evangelista, and christy turlington. the juxtaposition of height and slight presented the perfect opportunity to toy with the eye.”
the result is stunning. not only is it a treat for the eye, but olive is serving up some really awesome summer style from some of my favorite independent designers like samantha pleet, shop evens, and more.
