RAINBOW STYLES
Olivia's latest collection is full of bold, bright and cheery summer wardrobe looks, from pretty floral dresses and skirts to her bold sequin rainbow dresses and skirts. Perfect for all the summer occasions coming your way, she offers something really feminine and unique that work for both wedding guest looks and as bright updates to your wardrobe. She says: “Rainbow sequins are my forever classics,” take one look and they will be yours this summer too.
Her styling tips for summer in the city is to choose one of her skirts (the Penelope or Rainbow) and style with a simple tank or t-shirt. Skirts being so versatile to dress up or down. For a trip to the beach or a outdoor wedding her simple Polly dress and Mila dresses can be slipped on with decorative sandals and a basket bag.

I like designing outfits that will have an individual edge to everything else out there. That is why my sequins and use of fabric and colour is so key to what I do. I want people to think ‘I’ve never seen a dress like this before...

Saoirse Ronan is on my wishlist of celebrities to dress, she has that naturally beautiful look that I am drawn to. What I love about my Irish customers is that they love colour. I think Olivia Rubin and Brown Thomas will be a perfect match!
