She's a
globally renowned style icon and recently designed her own footwear
collection for Aquazzura so it's hardly surprising that Olivia Palermo
is considering her own fashion range.
The stylish star, who shot to fame on MTV's The City, has hinted at plans to make a foray into designing.
In an interview with The Edit, Net-a-Porter's online magazine, the 28-year-old admitted that she has accounted for a label in her ten year plan.
'I
would love to start my own [fashion] house but it’s not the right time.
I feel like I can do it in stages and when the timing is right to do
it, then I will,' she revealed.
It's only a matter of time: Olivia
Palermo was recently named one of the ten best-dressed women in the
world and has revealed to The Edit that she wants to start a fashion
line one day
And
she's had plenty of practice; Palermo has already designed a footwear
collection, modelled for some of fashion's biggest names and has been
managing her own website since 2011.
'[The
website] came from my travels and my friends constantly asking me, "Oh,
I’m going to Berlin, I’m going to London, I’m going to Madrid... Can
you recommend any great spots to visit?" So [the site] evolved through
my experiences of travel, places I like, people I like, and shows,' she
said.
'I
have three people that work on the editorial side on a daily basis, an
entire team who handle the back-end, and myself. I have my hands full at
the moment.'
Flawless: The 28-year-old style icon
has been unveiled as the cover star of Net-a-Porter's weekly magazine
and poses in a 60s inspired shoot
Style secrets: Olivia ahs revealed
that she inherited her sense of style from her mother and grandmother,
who, she says, never leave the house looking less than immaculate
Style advice: The style icon has opened up about how she gets ready in the morning, revealing that she loves to accessorise
The
28-year-old also shared the secrets behind her acclaimed polished
style. 'My mother and grandmother are very pulled together,' she said.
'They
never leave the house without being completely, 100 per cent
presentable and that was instilled in me at a very young age.'
Offering
her advice on pulling an outfit together seamlessly, the socialite and
model said: 'As you get dressed, take a look to see if anything needs to
be done.
'I
tend to go with the detailing. I have endless skinny belts. There is
always a place for a big belt, but sometimes when you’re layering pieces
you need to hide the belt and a skinny one does just that.
'Take
a razor blade to a sweater if it’s bobbling - it takes the balls off.
Double-sided tape is also one of my favorites. Oh, and if you want to
roll your sleeves up and they won’t stay, push them up with very thin
hair elastics.'
Selective: The star recently
collaborated with Aquazzura on a shoe collection and says she decided to
work with the brand because their shoes are 'aesthetically phenomenal
and fit like a glove'
Taking notes? The former reality TV star was a fixture at Paris Fashion Week
Rising star: Olivia started out alongside Whitney Port on MTV's The City and is now a globally respected style icon
Olivia
tested the designer waters earlier this year when she was asked to
collaborate with footwear brand Aquazzura on a capsule collection.
Speaking
about the experience, she said: 'I’ve known Edgardo [Osorio, the
brand’s designer and founder] since his first collection and he’s become
a great friend of mine. I only want to team up and design with people
who I have a solid relationship with.
'There
is a very small handful of shoe designers of whom you can say [the
shoes] are aesthetically phenomenal and fit like a glove; Manolo
[Blahnik] is one of them, and Edgardo. With this, we wanted to create
the shoes every woman wants in her wardrobe.
'Edgardo
and I both like a little toe cleavage, and [the heels] had to be high.
The heel is actually the highest he’s ever done, so it was a bit of an
experiment, but I think it came out very well, they’re still walkable.
You don’t want to waddle in the street.'
The
former reality TV star has been a fixture at fashion month, perhaps
taking inspiration for her future range. Watch this space.
