HOW OLYMPIA GAYOT BROUGHT BACK
OLYMPIA GAYOT’S VISN FOR IS INSPIRED BY GETTG-READY RUALS“THE GOAL IS TO REALLY JT MAKE CLOTH THAT PEOPLE WANT TO WEAR,” SHE SAYS OF HELMG WOMEN’S AND KIDS’ SIGN FOR THE HERAGE BRAND.BY LEAH FAYE COOPERNOVEMBER 23, 2022FACEBOOKTWTEREMAILSAVE STORYOLYMPIA GAYOT.BY STEVEN CARLSON.SAVE THIS STORYSAVESAVE THIS STORYSAVE“WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE BEETS?” IT’S A SUNNY AFTERNOON TRIBE, AND OLYMPIA GAYOT AND I ARE A CURVED BOOTH AT THE OON. SHE’S JT RMED THE SERVER THAT SHE’S ALLERGIC TO EGGS, AND I’VE NFIRMED THAT THERE ARE NO BEETS THE STEAK SALAD I ORRED. “I HAVE A VERY STRONG AVERSN TO THEM,” I EXPLA. “AN EXTREME DISLIKE.” “THEY TOTALLY ULD SNEAK TO A SALAD,” GAYOT SAYS. SHE GETS . OF URSE, WE’RE NOT MEETG TO DISCS MY ROOT VEGETABLE PREFERENC, BUT SUFFIC AS AN ICEBREAKER FOR TWO STRANGERS MEETG OVER LUNCH. THOUGH, AS A FASHN WRER, I’VE BEEN AWARE OF GAYOT SCE SHE WAS NAMED HEAD OF WOMEN’S AND KIDS’ SIGN AT LATE 2020. HAVG PREVLY WORKED AT THE STORIED AMERIN LABEL OM 2010–2017, THE 41-YEAR-OLD TORONTO NATIVE REJOED DURG A PIVOTAL TIME FOR THE BRAND, HERSELF, AND THE WORLD. “THEY APPROACHED ME DURG THE PANMIC,” SHE TELLS ME. “IT WAS A NVERSATN THAT HAPPENED OVER A FEW MONTHS, AND I WAS PREGNANT BY THE END OF . I WAS LIKE, THIS IS GOG TO BE TENSE; I’M PREGNANT AND ’S THE MIDDLE OF A PANMIC.” PL, HAD JT E OUT OF BANKPTCY. THE STERLG MID-GHTS ERA MARKED BY SOARG PROFS, MICHELLE OBAMA–APPROVED SIGNS, AND THE MIDAS TOUCH OF FORMER PRINT AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR JENNA LYONS WAS FASHN’S REARVIEW MIRROR. “BUT I KNEW THAT I WANTED ,” SHE SAYS. “IT WAS SUCH AN CREDIBLE OPPORTUNY. I WAS JT REALLY EXCED.” THAT GAYOT END UP FASHN WASN’T PLETELY CINTAL, BUT NOT EVABLE EHER. “[MY MOTHER] WAS ONE OF THE FOUNRS OF CLUB MONA,” SHE SAYS. “SHE WASN’T AN OWNER, BUT SHE WAS A SIGNER AND THERE OM THE VERY BEGNG.” FOR A YOUNG GAYOT, THIS MEANT A WARDROBE OF STRIPED T-SHIRTS AND NAVY BLAZERS, AND A GLIMPSE TO THE “FUN, BOHEMIAN” LIFE HER PARENTS LED. “THEY WERE ALWAYS HAVG PARTI, ALWAYS GOG DANCG, ALWAYS HAVG PEOPLE OVER.” AS CLUB MONA GREW, GAYOT WAS CREASGLY EXPOSED TO AN TERNATNAL GROUP OF SIGNERS WHO MOVED TO TORONTO TO WORK FOR THE BRAND, AND SPENT A LOT OF TIME AT HER MOTHER’S OFFICE ASSISTG WH VAR TASKS. HER FIRST LOVE, HOWEVER, WAS FE ART—A PURSU HER PARENTS MORE THAN ENURAGED. “MY MOM WAS ALWAYS SAYG, ‘DON’T GO TO FASHN.’” “REALLY?” I ASK. “SHE DISURAGED ?” “I THK SHE JT KNEW HOW FAST-PACED IS. AND SHE JT WAS LIKE, ‘YOU’RE A TALENTED PATER, AND YOU N DRAW, SO YOU SHOULD BE DOG THAT.’ AND I LOVED , PROBABLY MORE THAN ANYTHG.” AFTER A STT AT THE SCHOOL OF THE MM OF FE ARTS AT TUFTS BOSTON, GAYOT HOPPED ON A B TO NEW YORK, APPLIED TO THE SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS, AND PROMPTLY TRANSFERRED. (SHE FILLED HER PARENTS AFTER THE FACT.) “I WAS ALWAYS STUDYG ART AND PATG, AND THEN DOG FASHN ON THE SI—STYLG, ASSISTG; I WORKED AT DNA, THE MOLG AGENCY, FILG MOLS’ PORTFOL PICTUR.” LIVG MURRAY HILL WH A IEND SHE MET BARTENDG, WAS NOT THE LLEGE DORM EXPERIENCE YOU SEE THE MOVI. “I DIDN’T WANT THAT,” GAYOT SAYS BETWEEN B OF SALMON TARTARE. “I WAS READY TO BE AN ADULT. I REALLY WANTED TO START WORKG AND LIVE MY LIFE.” THE DRIVE FOLLOWED HER TO PARIS, WHERE SHE MOVED AFTER LLEGE WH A FORMER BOYIEND. “IT WAS ALWAYS A DREAM OF ME TO LIVE THERE,” SHE SAYS. “I WAS DOG PORTRAS AT THE TIME, SO I WAS SURVIVG OFF A MIX OF RANDOM FASHN JOBS AND SELLG PATGS.” DCRIBG HER TIME THERE AS “AMAZG,” GAYOT MATAS SHE WAS “ALWAYS REALLY HAPPY TO JT GO WHEREVER THE WD TOOK ME. AND THE BEGNG, HONTLY, I DON’T THK I HAD A PLAN. I JT WANTED TO BE BY. I LOVED ART, I LOVED FASHN, I LOVED GETTG DRSED AND GOG OUT AT NIGHT. ALL THAT.” BACK NEW YORK, THE BALANCE GAYOT HAD STCK BETWEEN ART AND FASHN BEGAN TO TILT TOWARDS THE LATTER. PATG, SHE SAYS, “WAS VERY SOLARY,” AND ALSO “A BOYS’ CLUB” THAT WAS OFTEN DISURAGG. SHE WAS FDG MORE OPPORTUNI—AND HAVG MORE FUN—DOG EELANCE SIGN PROJECTS, ASSISTG ON VOGUE SHOOTS, AND STYLG RETAIL DISPLAYS. A IEND SHE MET WHILE SIGNG A PRIVATE LABEL FOR URBAN OUTFTERS HAD LAND AT , AND ENURAGED GAYOT TO TERVIEW. “I ME AND MET JENNA AND I GOT HIRED.” SAVE FOR A BRIEF MOMENT WHEN I ASK GAYOT IF THE WOMAN AT THE BAR A BLACK CROP TOP IS MKA KELLY (I’M ALMOST POSIVE IS), WE SPEND THE NEXT 20 MUT DISCSG WHAT, AT THE TIME, WAS HER FIRST RPORATE JOB.“I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD END UP AT A BIG BRAND, BUT WAS SO AMAZG. EVEN THOUGH IS A BIG PANY, THERE’S A FAY STYLE VIBE TO , I THK BEE ’S SO CREATIVE. IT WAS A REALLY GREAT PLACE TO BE. I WAS THERE DURG THE JENNA YEARS. I STAYED FOR SEVEN YEARS, WORKED MY WAY UP THE RANKS, AND WORKED WH HER PRETTY CLOSELY; WORKED WH [FORMER CEO] MICKEY DREXLER CLOSELY. I DID KNS, I DID SWIM, SWEATERS, LLECTNS—LOTS OF DIFFERENT TEGORI.” RELLG ’S CROPPED KALEIDOSPIC PANTS, GLTER PUMPS, AND ELEVATED TAK ON NTIL- AND ARY-SPIRED DRSG AT THE TIME, I’M CUR TO KNOW IF SHE HAD A FAVORE. “I LOVE SIGNG SWIM. EVERYBODY’S THE HAPPIT WHEN THEY’RE ON THE BEACH, RIGHT? [IT’S] JT A JOYFUL TEGORY.” THE ROLE ALSO ME WH A WELE DOSE OF NOSTALGIA. “MY PARENTS HAD A PLACE FLORIDA, SO GROWG UP WE’D GO THERE FOR CHRISTMAS AND WE’D ALWAYS GO TO THE STORE MIAMI, OR WE’D GO [WHEN WE WERE] NEW YORK. I LOVED . IT WAS SO INIC.” DURG GAYOT’S IAL TENURE, REACHED AN UNPRECENTED LEVEL OF POPULARY. THE BRAND’S LLECTNS WERE BREATHLSLY VERED BY FASHN MEDIA ALONGSI LUXURY UNTERPARTS, AND THE PIEC BEME A FAVORE AMONG CELEBRI. LYONS BEME A STAR HERSELF—HER EVERY OUTF SNAPPED BY STREET STYLE PHOTOGRAPHERS AND MOVE DOCUMENTED BY PAGE SIX. AFTER GETTG MARRIED AND HAVG HER FIRST CHILD (SHE SAYS SHE WORE “A TIGHT, BLACK CROCHET DRS WH A SIX-MONTH BUMP” TO HER 2016 CY HALL WEDDG), GAYOT WAS READY FOR A CHANGE. “SEVEN YEARS WAS A LONG TIME FOR ME TO BE AT ONE PLACE, AND I FEEL LIKE ’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO TRY MULTIPLE THGS TO KEEP THGS H,” SHE SAYS. “I GOT AN OPPORTUNY TO LEAVE, AND I JT TOOK .” THAT OPPORTUNY WAS AT VICTORIA’S SECRET, SIGNG APPAREL, SLEEPWEAR, AND LGERIE. “NOT BRAS AND PANTI,” SHE CLARIFI, “BUT ACTUAL TEDDI.” IT PROVED TO BE A TREMENDO LEARNG EXPERIENCE. “LGERIE IS A PLETELY DIFFERENT WORLD. IT’S SUPER TECHNIL, WORKG WH LACE AND NSTCTG THGS THAT [F CLOSE] TO YOUR BODY. IT’S LERALLY TIMATE.” GIVEN THE FABRICS SHE WAS WORKG WH AND THE VOLUME OF PRODUCT THE BRAND WAS PRODUCG, THERE WERE ALSO BIG FANCIAL IMPLITNS TIED TO HER WORK. “THAT GETS YOU TO BS MO, WHICH IS IMPORTANT. YOU N’T JT SIGN A BUBBLE.” GAYOT’S CISN TO STEP AWAY AFTER ALMOST THREE YEARS WAS LARGELY FLUENCED BY THE AMOUNT OF TRAVELG SHE WAS DOG. FANCIAL MEETGS WERE HELD AT THE PANY’S HEADQUARTERS OH, AND THE SIGN ASPECT OF THE JOB REQUIRED EQUENT TRIPS TO EUROPE. MOUNTG PUBLIC SCTY OF THE BRAND, SEEMS, WASN’T A FACTOR.

I’VE NEVER BEEN ANYWHERE WHERE THERE HASN’T BEEN SOMETHG. SO, YOU KD OF HAVE TO JT GO WH .” WHEN GAYOT REJOED OCTOBER 2020, THE SIGN TEAM WAS ONE OF FEW THAT WAS GOG TO THE OFFICE. “IT’S REALLY HARD TO BE A SIGNER AND NOT BE AROUND PRODUCT,” SHE SAYS, ADDG THAT SPE THE STRS OF THE PANMIC—AND THAT SHE WAS NEARG HER THIRD TRIMTER—SHE ENJOYED THE MUTE OM HER TRIBE APARTMENT TO THE OFFICE, WHICH WAS BATTERY PARK AT THE TIME. “AFTER HAVG TRAVELED SO MUCH AT MY LAST JOB, THAT I ULD ACTUALLY DROP MY SON OFF AT SCHOOL, WALK TO WORK, AND BE SUPER CLOSE TO HOME, THAT FELT REALLY NICE,” EVEN IF SHE WAS A MASK FOR HOURS ON END. “THE GOAL IS TO REALLY JT MAKE CLOTH THAT PEOPLE WANT TO WEAR,” SHE SAYS OF WHAT SHE’S AIMG TO ACPLISH. “ HAS SO MUCH HERAGE, AND HERAGE IS SO CCIAL TO THE BRAND, OBVLY. HOWEVER, I DO REALLY RE ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENG THE DTRY, ON THE NWAYS, THE STREETS, WHAT PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY WEARG. AND I THK THAT ORR TO BE A MORN, RELEVANT BRAND, YOU HAVE TO BE AWARE OF WHAT’S GOG ON, AND YOU HAVE TO TEGRATE THAT TO YOUR HERAGE TO HELP BUILD SOMETHG NEW.” SHE’S WEARG SOME OF THOSE NEW PIEC TODAY: A NVERTIBLE APRON DRS YELLOW, AND A METALLIC PAIR OF LUG-SOLE FISHERMAN SANDALS. THE OUTF IS PLEMENTED BY HER LONG, WAVY BLON HAIR, WHICH SHE TELLS ME SHE HAS DONE BY “THE NICT GUY ON THE PLA,” MRIC BERMUZ AT SUE CAROLE SOHO. ACCSORI CLU A BEAD BRACELET HER SON MA AT MP, A FEW OTHERS BY AGMES, AND VAR RGS AND NECKLAC—SOME VTAGE, SOME REPOSSI, SOME PASSED DOWN OM HER MOTHER AND GREAT-GRANDMOTHER. THE LOOK WAS ONE OF MANY GAYOT HAS SHARED ON INSTAGRAM, WHERE SHE HAS MORE THAN 97,000 FOLLOWERS. “BEFORE , I WAS PRIVATE [ON INSTAGRAM],” SHE SAYS. “I WAS NOT TERTED EVER BEG PUBLIC.” WHILE WASN’T A MANDATE THAT SHE OPEN HER ACUNT UP FOR PUBLIC NSUMPTN, CEO LIBBY WADLE, WHO JOED THE BRAND A MONTH AFTER GAYOT OM SISTER BRAND MAWELL, ENURAGED HER TO POST SNAPSHOTS OF HER LIFE. “AT FIRST I WAS LIKE, ‘ARE YOU SURE? I HAVE, LIKE, 300 FOLLOWERS—’S KD OF EMBARRASSG. DO YOU GUYS WANT TO HELP ME SOMEHOW?’ AND THEY WERE LIKE, ‘NO, NO, YOU’LL GET THERE.’” SHE STARTED BY SHARG MOOD BOARDS. “THEY’RE A HUGE PART OF WHAT I DO, NNECTG THE DOTS BETWEEN FASHN, ART, FURNURE, ARCHECTURE, CULTURE—ALL THAT IS SUPER, SUPER IMPORTANT TO ME. THAT’S HOW I BUILD A LLECTN. SO IALLY, WAS JT SHARG THOSE, PUTTG THEM ON STORI AND LETTG PEOPLE SEE THE DAILY BEHD-THE-SCEN.” NEXT, SHE PUT THE LARGE MIRROR HER OFFICE TO E, SNAPPG PICTUR OF HOW SHE STYLED AND WORE PIEC. “THERE WERE SO MANY DMS THAT WOULD E THROUGH, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ASKG QUTNS.” THE ENGAGEMENT AND FEEDBACK, SHE SAYS, HAS BEEN HELPFUL GGG WHAT RONAT WH THE CTOMER. “I DON’T WANT TO SIGN A SILO. I WANT TO KNOW IF PEOPLE LIKE THGS OR NOT.” HER SOCIAL MEDIA PRENCE BEGAN TO “SNOWBALL” WHEN STARTED RHARG HER POSTS ON THE BRAND’S ACUNT. AND THOUGH GAYOT ISN’T ON TIKTOK HERSELF, HER SIGNS AND PERSONAL STYLE ARE ALL OVER THE APP, AS FASHN ENTHIASTS REGULARLY SHARE AND DISSECT SCREENSHOTS OF HER OUTFS. “WHEN I THK BACK TO WHEN I WAS REALLY YOUNG AND THROUGHOUT MY TEENS, AND THEN LIVG NEW YORK MY 20S WH ALL MY IENDS, I LOVED TO GET MY IENDS DRSED UP,” SHE SAYS, SHORTLY AFTER WE BOTH CLE A FFEE OR TEA. “THE PRE-GOG-OUT WAS MORE FUN THAN THE GOG OUT FOR ME, AND WAS ALWAYS ABOUT ACCENTUATG THEIR NATURAL BETY AND MAKG THEM FEEL GOOD.
