Get to know creative girl Olivia Smith in 15 quick questions. Photographed by Ola Ajani.
- Tell us your name, where you come from and what you do : I’m Olivia Faye Smith, originally from Manchester but I moved to London 3 years ago and now live in Stoke Newington. I work at ASOS on their Press team but I’m also an influencer for ASOS which is really fun.
- Style is clearly a big part of what you do, how do you define your style? I find it hard to define my style because sometimes it’s so mixed I just try and have loads of fun with my clothes. I normally just wear what I enjoy and what I feel most confident in.
- What’s your favourite accessory that you own? There’s a few things at the moment which are my favorite, I’m obsessed with Brixton Baker Boy Cap and I love my mouse trap Moschino phone case <3 always making an appearance in my selfies.
- What would you describe as a fashion faux pax? I’m not sure if its fashion but I don’t think you should ever go out for the day in yesterday’s makeup. Other than that I’m a pretty accepting person.
- Who would you describe as your style icon? My dad, maybe not for his exact style but he wears what he wants and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. Obviously he looks cool, but I definitely looked up to him when I was younger and finding my own style and still do now.
- What track do you have on replay at the moment? I got taken to a gig recently to listen to a band called Sälen who were so good, they have this song called Copperkiss which I can’t stop listening to.
- You were recently at Coachella, tell us what your favourite memory was of your time there? Yes I went to Coachella with Converse which was amazing. It was my first time in LA so the whole trip was pretty special. I’d probably have to say one of the best memories was watching Nicholas Jaar play on of my favorite tracks, I’ve been listening to that song for years and finally got to see him live.
- What was the last book you read? It was actually JAWS, bit of a weird one but it was really good! I love reading but it’s hard to find the time at the moment.
- What is one thing you do “secretly” when no one is watching? I’d probably say, talking to myself. But I feel like quite a lot of people do that. I hope
- One thing you’d never be caught wearing? That’s a difficult question because I’m pretty up for wearing anything but you wouldn’t ever see me in thick tights even in Winter it has to be nothing more than 20 denier.
- If you could travel to any decade to experience the style and vibe of that time, what decade would it be? Definitely the 80’s, I love 80’s music and their style. I think it would have been such a cool time.
- You’re to live on an island with no electricity for 2 months and you can only take two items of belongings; what would they be? A disposable camera and can I take my best friend? If not, then sun cream
- What are you looking forward to for summer 2017. I’m going on a road trip with Family through the Florida Keys and we’ll be stopping in Antigua. So that’s pretty exciting but also just being with friends and hanging out in the sun in London. I love London in the summer!
- What fashion trends should we be on the look out for in the coming months? Furry accessories they were all over the Autumn Winter catwalks. Miu Miu’s fur baker boy hat <3 Also loving anything in PVC!
