We believe everyone of all sizes should be able to look and feel their best in our colourful take on modern femininity.
A Penchant For Rainbows
Olivia Rubin launched her first womenswear line after graduating from the world-renowned Central Saint Martins College in London. Her final collection was chosen for the prestigious press show and won immediate attention from the press who cited her printed designs as one of the ‘standout collections’. Her persistence and enthusiasm scored her work with Alexander McQueen, Dior and John Galliano in Paris, where she assisted with Galliano’s main line collections, designing prints that were chosen for his womenswear lines.
After taking a few years out to focus on her family, Rubin returned with a revived brand, bringing back her unique take on modern femininity and focusing on bestselling dresses, standout skirts and brightly coloured prints. Rubin’s penchant for rainbows and popular multicoloured sequins built her a strong industry presence in a short space of time. The brand is a regular in leading international fashion titles and is fast- gaining global recognition for its joyful designs in signature colours.
