About Olivia

I’ve spent more than 20 years in luxury fashion media. I know how the industry really works.

Headhunted from London over a decade ago, I landed in the Middle East with a suitcase, a good eye and very high standards. Since then, I’ve built an international reputation for credibility, taste and the ability to shape how luxury brands speak. Not just what they say, but how they say it — and why it matters.

My early career spanned Net-a-Porter, Stylist and Grazia, before six years as Group Editor-in-Chief of Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, where I launched Bazaar Saudi, and became the only editor to concurrently oversee three standalone editions: Arabia, Qatar and Saudi.

I’ve worked with every major luxury house, from heritage power players to independent disruptors, but my strength lies in curation as much as creation. I know how to bring influential voices together and design the story that connects them.

Today, as Bazaar’s Editor-at-Large and founder of The Desk, I work with brands, founders and institutions who want to refine positioning, sharpen narrative and create meaningful access.

On a personal note: I’m half Greek, half English, based in Dubai, the mother of two very small, very loud daughters, a lifelong UK Garage devotee, and still obsessed with the beauty, craft and power of a perfectly made magazine.

I believe the edit changes everything. The Desk is where it begins.
