She was signed to Wilhelmina Models in 2009 and also launched a jewelry line with Roberta Freymann in 2010. In February 2010 Olivia became a spokesmodel for Matches Fashion’s Freda label ahead of London Fashion Week.
Olivia has the ability to mix and match designer fashion with high street and vintage. She was pictured on the front row of Topshop Unique last season and is snapped out and about frequently wearing the high street brand.

The model/fashion socialite is known her esquisit taste in accessories and it was this sense of style that got her the job as Accessories Editor at Elle Magazine. She is frequently snapped in ornate statement necklaces teamed with skinny jeans, shorts or Breton tops.
Olivia has a classic style that will never date. In a recent magazine article for ASOS, the fashion conscious dresser says: “Both my parents keep telling me that London is calling,’ she says. ‘In five years time I’d like to be living in London with Johannes [my boyfriend]. It really all depends on work.’
‘I just really, really love clothes,’ she continues. ‘I think it has evolved as I’ve gotten older.’
‘I understand the industry a little better, and I know what works for me and my personal style. I’ve definitely noticed I’m getting there in the past few years!’

• Skinny jeans will work with everything in your wardrobe, from day to night.
• A classic white shirt can be teamed with a pencil skirt, city style shorts or tucked into jeans.
