Quality is her focus, along with attaining a perfect capsule wardrobe that’s equal parts timeless and striking.
Q&A with Olga Cissa
How did you start your fashion journey?
OC: Fashion has always been a passion of mine. I started creating looks for myself and gained followers who were searching for outfit inspiration for a capsule wardrobe.
How would you describe your style in three words?
OC: Business, smart, and casual.
How do you express yourself with your style?
OC: For me, clothing is not just something to wear, it’s also a means of self-expression. Not long ago, I dreamed of a career that required a tailored, business-y uniform. Now, I still have a fondness for blazers and trousers—there are plenty in my wardrobe! —but I love styling them outside of the office in different ways.
How are you contributing to the fashion community?
OC: I love putting together casual looks that are easy to recreate. Pieces that serve as a starting point for a stylish capsule wardrobe that is easily customized to suit the individual. There is a stereotype that suggests a capsule wardrobe is beige, black, and white. But my pieces break that mold.
Why do you love using ModeSens?
OC: ModeSens is a great application because it transforms online shopping into an easy experience. Not only do you save time on research, but you also save money since you can compare the prices of your potential items in one place. Last month I bought earrings through ModeSens, which I'd set an alert for. A few days later, ModeSens sent me a price drop alert, so I contacted the seller, and they adjusted the price. What could be better than that?
