Jumping on a video call with Chava Studio designer Olivia Villanti feels like reconnecting with an old friend. There are no formal introductions. Instead, we dive right into what could be the middle of a conversation—like we're picking up where we left off—even though we've never met."My son was three when we moved to Mexico City from New York . It was really challenging trying to raise him in NYC. It was a lot. My husband and I were both working a ton.
I thought men have at least one or maybe several made-to-measure shirts in their closet, but that experience had never been translated into what women want or proportioned for a woman's body. "The whole idea of Chava Studio just kind of came to me," she recalls, her voice filled with the excitement of a new venture. She dove into launching her made-to-measure women's shirting company in August of 2020, keeping the beautiful details that make made-to-measure unique but with"a sensibility that's really soft and feminine."
We chat more about Villanti's artistic inspirations, the book she can't put down, and discuss the polarizing sides of foundership—a job she notes is one of her loneliest but equally rewarding experiences to date.Marie Claire email subscribers get intel on fashion and beauty trends, hot-off-the-press celebrity news, and more.
