The festive period is not all about dinner parties and glitzy events; it’s also the time to unwind in style with luxe loungewear from Olivia von Halle.
Inspired by laid-back silk outfits worn by Coco Chanel in the 20’s, former brand consultant von Halle launched her elegant nightwear collection in 2011 which was immediately snapped up by editors and style stars, with many wearing her pieces beyond the boudoir.
After studying Fashion and Textile Management at Leeds University, she worked for the Future Laboratory in London as a trend forecaster for clients including Louis Vuitton, Gucci Group and Lamborghini. In 2008 she moved to Shanghai, China, where she continued her career. After evenings events with friends, she would long to ditch her sky-high heels and constricting outfits for something glamorous enough to enjoy a nightcap and this ritual inspired her to head back to London and launch the brand.
Now, the range includes delicate silk pajamas, robes, kimonos, nightshirts and eye masks; all beautifully cut in a variety of prints and colours. There are also tracksuits that could transition from loungewear to daywear that Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez as well as Gigi and Bella Hadid are firm fans of.
Comfort and style delivered on a chic level that even Coco herself would snap up? We’re sold.
