Princess Olympia of Greece gave us a behind the scenes look as she got ready for NYFW.
Then at age 18, Olympia had just moved to New York, and was thrilled — but terrified — to attend her first NYFW show on her own: Michael Kors.
“I was so scared — I had never gone to a show on my own,” Olympia says, sitting on a shag chaise lounge chair in her bedroom. “And Michael Kors is such a red carpet, like ‘boom, boom, boom.’ They’re like, ‘OK, we have hair and makeup coming for you at 7 a.m. We have a car, we have this.’ And they wanted me to wear these massive platforms — I was like, ‘Oh, my God. I can’t wear those. I’m not wearing high heels at 10 o’clock in the morning.
The princess, now 23, has since become a natural at the New York shows, attending most every season except for when her NYU class schedule demanded she miss one. On this day, it’s shortly before Brandon Maxwell’s Saturday night show at the American Museum of Natural History, which is conveniently across the park from her parents’ Upper East Side townhouse where she is currently living .
“I think it’s one of the greatest cities,” she says. “I was born here and I grew up in London. I love London, but I don’t think I need to be there right now. New York is very fast and everyone is doing something — everyone wants to do, and achieve and be great.”
