Olympia Gayot’s Favorite Things

“She contains multitudes—she’s reasonless, she’s classic preppy, she’s modern, she’s shrunken, she’s casual, she’s dressy.”

“She should be sitting right next to your lady jacket in your closet. She’s a little tougher, a little slicker, but equally versatile.”

“These pants can do it all—they’re boyish but can also look sexy and feminine when styled the right way.”

“The Goldilocks of T-shirts—not too big, not too small, just right. It’s both a perfect layering piece and sophisticated sexy on its own.”

“Incredibly thoughtful and beautiful curation of collected vintage from the most unique group of collectors—endlessly inspiring!”

“I love that there is no branding, yet a very clearly defined signature hardware—it’s very insider IYKYK.”

“Styling is a huge part of my job and it’s all in the details—belts can make your look go from something simple and banal to something more nuanced and thoughtful.”

“I fly a lot and after a long flight my skin still feels nourished using this cream—and also, who am I kidding, my skin likes to feel rich!”

“Zwirner has the most discerning, beautiful collection of books—this Noah Davis book is my favorite!”

“This is the most sophisticated looking and feeling book in my library. It’s a true tribute to the art of luxury publishing—it’s unparalleled!”

“There’s really something about scent that sets a mood for both my home and my life. It’s very ritualistic. I light one of these and it’s very much, ‘OK I’m home … I’m ready to relax and swan about my apartment.’”
