J Brand

DESIGNER NAME: Donald Oliver

ORIGIN: Donald was born in Glasgow, Scotland. He grew up in Zimbabwe.

DESIGN BACKGROUND: Before starting as Creative Director of J Brand, Donald worked at Calvin Klein, Vera Wang and Gap International.

CAREER HIGHLIGHT: "Working with Calvin, and getting this job at J Brand."

IDEAL CLIENT: "She is a confident woman, who doesn't try too hard, who is subtly sophisticated and who knows she is sexy without having to advertise it."

TRADEMARK PIECE: "There are so many but it would have to be the uneven garment dyed pieces because they have an attitude that says tough without being masculine.  I love the tee's because they are wonderfully soft and easy to wear with jeans.  And, I love the leather, because it's a personal must-have for every season. Looks great with denim."
