Nov 14, 2016

Olympia Le-Tan has released its first monograph, "The Story of O.L.T." (8,800 yen). To commemorate this, a pop-up shop will be set up at the Re-Style/Styling Promotion on the 3rd floor of the Shinjuku Isetan Main Building. A sudden visit by Olympia herself was scheduled for the 16th during the event. Fans will be sure to enjoy a special event featuring an autograph session and photo opportunity with her.

Olympia Le-Tan is a self-taught fashion designer who gained experience at fashion houses such as Chanel and Balmain. She then launched the brand's signature "Book Clutch," featuring hand-embroidered reproductions of the covers of first editions of literary works. Since then, she has continued to pursue her own unique style while becoming a favorite of celebrities around the world. This new monograph, titled "THE STORY OF O.L.T. By Olympia Le-Tan," was just published in November by Rizzoli, a long-established New York publisher. It traces the brand's history with over 300 photographs and illustrations, revealing the true face of Olympia through collection inspiration, rare design drawings, and even private photos of the designer herself. The book also explores the family history deeply connected to Olympia's creativity, including stories about her father, renowned illustrator Pierre Le-Tan, and her grandmother, who taught her how to embroider. The opening chapter also features an interview with fashion journalist Suzy Menkes. The cute pink cover features an embroidered print of Olympia's face, fully expressing the exciting world of Olympia. The meticulous design is sure to inspire many collectors. Since availability is limited in Japan, don't miss this opportunity to see the original!
