Olive Duran
Stylist/DJ — Berlin
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Olive, I'm half German, half Kenyan, born and raised in Washington DC and I'm now living in Berlin.
What do you do?
I'm a stylist and amateur DJ.
Describe your style in three words?
Authentic, easy and eclectic.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Each and every one of the four times I've seen FKA Twigs live was breathtaking.
If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
Black Lips and Outkast.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
I'd say it's a fair mix between Future Hood, Skating, Underground and Rave. That covers everything for me when it comes to my background, my nightlife, my music and my everyday surroundings.
