Olivia Whitman

Olivia Whitman lives in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and is one of three content interns on the Fashdes masthead — NYU class of two years ago, three roommates, the writer who posts the trend explainer the morning after the runway and the 'how to style X' guide the day a brand drops. Her register is conversational: a sentence that starts with okay, a line that reads like a text to a friend. She thinks a lot of trend writing forgets the reader is 24 and the rent is $1,800, and she's here to keep the page honest about both. If you're trend-skeptical, here's where to start.
