A deep-plunge black long-sleeve bodysuit with a V-neckline that drops almost to the waist, branded with a small Off-White logo at the chest, paired with a heavily embellished mini skirt covered in crystal rhinestones, mixed-size sequins, and metallic disc detailing in bronze, gold, and black tones. The skirt's asymmetric hemline and wrap-style cut add movement, while the contrast between the clean matte jersey top and the maximalist sparkle of the skirt is exactly the point.
Black satin slip gown with lace-trimmed sweetheart bustier bodice, thin spaghetti straps, and sheer lace panel inserts along the skirt and train. Floor-length with a subtle sweep train. Bold red lip, soft Hollywood waves, crystal drop earrings, white almond nails. Understated glamour with a lingerie-inspired edge — classic red carpet, undeniably sultry.
Ivory strapless structured corseted gown with a smooth fitted bodice, heavily pleated and ruched skirt gathered at the hip flowing into a sweeping floor-length train. Topped with an oversized sculptural headpiece in layered ruffled cream organza petals fanning out wide around the head. Crystal and gem embellishments dotted along the hairline and inner corners of the eyes.
Vivid emerald green strapless satin mermaid gown with a heavily boned corset bodice, sweetheart neckline, and exaggerated ruched trumpet skirt pooling into a full dramatic train. Diamond tennis necklace, diamond drop earrings, nude nails. Auburn finger-waved updo, sculpted glam makeup. Architectural, jewel-toned, and commanding — a true red carpet statement.

From Alabama

to the global spotlight

Born and raised in Decatur, Alabama, Olandria Carthen entered the public consciousness through Love Island USA Season 7 in July 2025. Within weeks of leaving the villa, she had been signed by the Reismans — the styling duo behind some of fashion's most talked-about looks — and began a meteoric rise through the fashion world. Her first year out saw front rows in Milan, Paris Couture Week, and her first magazine cover for Harper's Bazaar Vietnam.

Made for this

"Growing up in Alabama helped me develop a special love for dressing well. Southern fashion is beautiful — it's clean, sophisticated, yet still has personality."

Olandria spoke to Harper's Bazaar Vietnam in November 2025 — the cover story that announced her arrival to an international fashion audience. Her quote perfectly captures the philosophy behind every look in this archive: intentional, personal, and always with a signature.

Career in

fashion moments

Within weeks of leaving Fiji, she was on red carpets. Within months, she was on magazine covers. Within a year, she was front row at Paris Haute Couture Week, seated beside Dakota Johnson at Valentino. This archive documents every step of that journey — every look, every credit, every moment the fashion world took notice of a girl from Alabama who always knew she belonged here.
