Elegant, sophisticated, chic and extremely creative, Olivia Palermo
managed to become one of the coolest fashion icons and impress
everyone with her unique appearances. This time, Palermo sits down
for a chat with Chic Outlet Shopping®, Europe’s leading collection
of luxury outlet shopping destinations, and shares some of her top
style tips. Check out these
highlights from her interview and a behind-the-scenes video!
Asked about what Europe means to her, Olivia admitted that,
"Fashion has always been important to me – growing up in New York,
I made regular trips to Europe and quickly realized how stylish and
on-trend Europeans are."
"So when I started studying in Paris, I was immersed immediately. I
haven’t been able to resist since then – I work regularly in Paris,
Milan, and London which provides my fix of fashion and culture.
Plus shopping, of course; after all, a girl should treat herself
occasionally."
Speaking about what makes a memorable fashion experience, the
26-year-old model, editor and entrepreneur says that, "I am so busy
that shopping is something I have to plan. I always look for great
service, but I don’t just mean being fast and efficient, like I get
in Manhattan. When I do treat myself to some retail therapy, I like
the kind of hospitality that makes me feel special, the kind I find
at the Chic Outlet Shopping® Villages. No rush, no hassle, and very
VIP treatment – including personal shopping on hand, which means I
get all the time I need to research the labels I love."
Sharing her top style tips, Palermo speaks about floral prints,
metallics, ethnic prints, pastel cashmere and oversized hats.
"Floral print is a quintessential part of my summer wardrobe –
especially shoes from Karen Millen (Maasmechelen Village and
Kildare Village) and floral trousers from Spazio (Dolce&
Gabbana) (Maasmechelen Village, Las Rozas Village andLa Roca
Village)," the beautiful fashionista says.
Olivia confesses that, "I carry all my essentials in a tote bag. I
love Mulberry for the city (Bicester Village). For a short getaway,
Tumi have chic weekendluggage (Ingolstadt Village, Wertheim
Village, Bicester Village and La Vallée Village)."
When it comes to styling, Olivia Palermo is famous for having that
natural sense of making innovative combinations and putting
together killer combos. "A white blazer gives everything a luxe
feel; I wear mine with everything from jeans to silk dresses.
Lacoste has some beautifully tailored examples (Bicester Village,
Las Rozas Village, Fidenza Village, Ingolstadt Village, Wertheim
Village and La Roca Village) as well as Reiss (Kildare Village and
Bicester Village)," she told Chic Outlet Shopping®.
On how to rock metallics, Palermo explains that, "To wear the
metallic trend in a subtle way, a thin gold belt offsets an outfit
perfectly. I wear one to add shape to a dress, or paired with
tailored trousers. I spotted a gorgeous slim-line belt at Jaeger
(Kildare Village), and S.T. Dupont (La Vallée Village) has some
great variations."
As on the already famous neon print trend, Olivia says that, "A
quirky trend this spring/summer is bright prints, which are
everywhere. A great way to wear this trend is with printed
trousers, and as I'm a capri pant fan, I’m looking for a few bright
pairs, which I've spotted in Paul Smith (Bicester Village) and
Escada (Wertheim Village, Ingolstadt Village and Maasmechelen
Village) – both have some great neon versions."
