Charlotte Olympia is a British luxury shoe and accessories brand founded by Charlotte Olympia Dellal in 2008.[1]
History[edit]
Dellal launched her label right after graduating from London College of Fashion, where she studied product development and footwear.[1][2] Her first footwear collection was presented during London Fashion Week in February 2008.[3] In 2010, Charlotte Olympia opened its first store on Maddox Street in London,[1] followed by two stores in New York[4] and Los Angeles.[5] Starting in 2014, the brand opened many more stores worldwide, including in Miami,[6] Hong Kong,[7] and Dubai.[8]
Brand[edit]
Charlotte Olympia's designs are influenced by classical Hollywood cinema glamour, pin-ups and movie stars from the 1940s and 50s.[2]
The brand has become known for the "island" platform Dolly pump, the Kitty flat and Perspex Pandora clutch box.[9] Although primarily focused on footwear and accessories for women, the label also produces a collection for little girls called 'Incy'[10] and the Tom Cat smoking slipper for men.
