It Girl: Olympia Scarry

by Bryna on November 26, 2008

Olympia Scarry, the granddaughter of children’s book writer Richard Scarry, is a London socialite and an artist. No word yet as to which of these two ‘careers’ makes her the most money. Olympia Scarry also happens to be quite fashionable.

It’s hardly new. Socialites have always been around and, in recent years, it seems they’ve “been around” even more. Olympia Scarry is a socialite, yes. She also happens to be quite fashionable.

“I don’t go shopping as much as I used to,” she says. “When I was younger, I went shopping every day after school. My bedroom was opposite the seventh floor of Barneys. God knows who paid.”

Known for her long, platinum blonde locks, she is often seen out on the town in London. When at casual events, Olympia tends to keep it simple in plain prints, paired with a black leather jacket or a blazer, an effortless look that she works well. At events, she shifts towards long, flowing dresses, usually wearing them with her hair down.

Though she apparently considers herself an artist, and has friends such as Damien Hirst to guide the way, she did study fashion illustration, so I’m hoping to see a lot more of Olympia Scarry in the future.

It Girl: Zoe Kravitz

by Bryna on November 17, 2008

Zoe Kravitz is the embodiment of rock & roll fashion. It is hard to imagine that anyone with a heritage like hers (Lenny Kravitz + Lisa Bonet) could grow up without an innate sense of style. Zoe is definitely one to watch when it comes to fashion.

I first saw a picture of Zoe about a year ago, sporting what appeared to be tiger-striped boots. I loved the outfit but didn’t really think we’d be seeing much more of Zoe. Then, I was browsing The Fashion Spot forums, when I found a whole thread dedicated to her.

Zoe Kravitz

1. A fairly simple outfit. I don’t love the see-through top or the way her bra is peeping out, but the hat, shorts and shoes have a bit of a music festival feel about them. Makes sense.

2. A favourite. I love the high waisted skirt with its bold print and colours. Her hair is great in this photo (which isn’t always the case with Zoe) and she looks gorgeous.

3. Really this photo is just an excuse to show her with Steven Tyler. But I do love the red satin headband.

4. Wow. It’s rare to see Birkenstocks looking so stylish. I had a pair of Birkenstocks years ago which I lost on a Greyhound bus, somewhere between Toronto and Seattle, and I never bothered buying another pair. This may be the photo that pushes them back on to my shopping list.
