After studying Fashion and Textiles Management at the University of Leeds, Olivia von Halle worked at the Future Lab in London as a trend forecaster for clients such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci Group and Lamborghini. In 2008, she moved to Shanghai, China, where she continues to work as a trend forecaster and luxury brand consultant for several agencies. Inspired by the casual pajamas worn by Coco Chanel and her contemporaries in the 1920s, she began working with a tailor to design the perfect pair. In 2011, she returned to London to launch the Olivia von Halle label. Olivia now lives in London with her husband Hugo, sons Hiero and Chaos and their boxer Bathtub.
