A strong sense of taste is at the heart of Olga Kotlida's work and collaborations.
Olga Kotlida is a fashion stylist, living between Athens, London and airplanes. Her work uses cinematic figures, dark cybertech inspired references, and messages of dystopian playfields to create a new, dynamic world of individuality and uniqueness. Her artistic practice spans across Fashion Styling, Creative and Art Direction. She is considered one of the main influencers of the underground Greece’s fashion scene. Collaborators and clients include Kultblat Magazine, Feroce Magazine, Holm Magazine, Velocity Collective, Thomis Papadimitriou, CelebritySkin Strepkos, Hackney Clothing, Stratos Kalafatis and Vasilis Rallis.
Coming from a multi-disciplinary background sets the standards for the art direction and the fashion editing.
She studied Architecture in A.U.Th. choosing an artistic direction for her Diploma. Her thesis bibliography focused on the Theory of Art and Space, Theory of Cinema, Performance Practice and Psychology. To add to her quiver she specialized in scenography and studio lighting while studying in the University of Arts of Belgrade (six-months course). Afterwards she went on to follow her true passion: Fashion. Today she works as an independent stylist and art director with a bias for editorial imagery and image making.
The future of work is now.
In between the preparations for her projects she visits the capitals of Fashion (London, Milan, Paris) for the annual calendars of the Fashion Weeks. She seeks to achieve the use of new upskilling initiatives as well as to broaden her network. New technologies in image creation form the direction of her upcoming plans that include 3D designed editorials, commercial campaigns and branded creations of her own.
