Olympia Gayot is the kind of creative director who understands that American style isn’t static—it’s a living conversation. Since her appointment as J.Crew’s creative director in 2020, she’s approached the heritage brand not as an archivist but as a collaborator, balancing its prep school DNA with a fine artist’s instinct for re-invention. Her latest project reflects that sensibility: she invited five New York–based designers to re-interpret J.Crew’s classic rollneck sweater through their own artistic, expressive lenses, underscoring the brand’s commitment to championing the next generation of American design talent. For AIR SUPPLY, Gayot curates a selection that honors craft, longevity, and the kind of ease that only comes from knowing exactly what works
