Autorenporträt

Olympia Le-Tan is a self-taught fashion designer. She started her career at the Chanel design studio with Karl Lagerfeld. In March 2012, she launched her first ready-to-wear collection—classic clothes with a twist, a mix between her British and Parisian heritage using velvets, tartans, college stripes, and Liberty print fabrics.

Rezensionen

"It seems strange to refer to Olympia Le-Tan s new monograph, The Story of O.L.T. (Rizzoli, Nov. 1), as her first book. After all, the Parisian built her namesake seven-year-old brand on hand-embroidered clutches that mimic the covers of literary classics . . ."
Wall Street Journal

"Fashion News: Olympia Le-Tan, known for her signature trompe l'oeil clutches inspired by classic literature, debuts an actual book this month, a visual memoir of sorts."
Elle

"The Story of O.L.T. is a scrapbook-style tour of Le-Tan's life and work, including behind-the-scenes images of her collaborations with filmmakers Wes Anderson and Spike Jonze."
Elle Decor

"Olympia Le-Tan can be appreciated on many levels. The book can be so many different things to each reader depending on the reader s fashion education or trend exposure. This book is part journal, part look book, part visual diary, part love letter, part enigma, and a lot of 'look at me.'"
New York Journal of Books

New York Magazine

"French designer Olympia Le-Tan is best known for her ridiculously charming clutches, which feature embroideries of book covers. She uses everything from classic literature to cheesy romance novels, and they re all given a delicate, vintage-style twist."
