#WOMANCRUSHWEDNESDAY- CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA

I'm always eager to be in the know about the background of my favorite footwear designers, it gives me a sense of feeling close to them and I get to learn what inspires their individual designs.
 
Today it's all about Charlotte Olympia born in 1981 in Cape Town, South Africa, to Brazilian model Andréa de Magalhães Vieira and property developer Guy Dellal. She is the eldest of four children and grew up in Paris, Rio de Janeiro and London.
 
She launched her London based shoe and accessory brand in 2008 after she had completed a foundation course at the London College of Fashion.
 
Adding a sense of humor, her designs are influenced by classical Hollywood cinema glamour, pin-ups and movie stars from the 1940s and 50s.


With the gold spider web as the brand logo, it has become known for the "island" platform Dolly pump and the Kitty flat.


Charlotte Olympia produces four seasonal collections a year, her signature classics include 'Encore', 'Runaway Bride', 'To Dye For', 'Cosmic', 'Incy', '9 till 5'.

Charlotte Olympia has collaborated with other brands including Agent Provocateur, Veuve Clicquot, Archie Comics.

Below are some of her designs from the 2015 Spring Collection, Pre fall 2015 showcasing her classics.

I love how flexible her designs are and how she can go from serious (9 till 5 collection) to playful (archie comics) to sexy. You never really know what to expect from her. She's just a whole lot of fun. She's definitely one of them way up there and little wonder why she is my #wcw for today.
