Dahlia is joined by fashion designer and artist Oliva Rubin to discuss the creativity, clothing and how to continue to follow your dreams.

Olivia takes listeners behind the scenes on the development of the Olivia Rubin brand including what inspired her, how it grew, how she connected with customers and the moment she knew it was time to pivot.

Dahlia and Olivia discuss the importance of staying true to who you are and remembering why you started in the first place, how to create sustainable brands and the joy Olivia has experienced re finding her original designs on Vinted!

Olivia talks about her personal style, how clothes influence your confidence and as always whether you can be stressed and well dressed at the same time.

After taking time away from design to focus on her family, Olivia found herself craving the colour and creativity that once defined her. What began as a personal journey soon grew into a brand loved for its playful prints, expressive colours, and designs that empower women to feel confident, vibrant, and truly themselves.
After a whirlwind journey of fast-gaining recognition and selling worldwide, Olivia has decided to slow down: to return to her creative roots, allow space for intention in the design process, and spend quality time making memories with her daughters.

Every Olivia Rubin piece is a reminder that success is about purpose, presence, and the joy of creating something meaningful.
