About

Olim London is a brand born from a personal journey of learning to embrace height and redefining style for tall women.  Growing up, I really struggled with loving my height - and being 6’1” from my early teens, I’d even say I hated it!  It definitely felt more like a challenge than a gift. 

Like so many of us, I spent most of my life leaning on one leg in order to try and make myself smaller and not draw attention to my height - as it was so often pointed out to me how tall I am!  Coupled with my frustration at often being directed to the men's departments to find clothing that would fit my longer limbs, I kept my world small in order to not have to deal with the discomfort I felt in my size.

I always felt frustrated at not being able to shop in 'normal size' shops and I have a very clear memory as a child, of a frustrating shopping trip in Bath with my Mum, saying to her that, 'One day I'm going to design my own clothing for tall women!'. That dream definitely stayed with me.

My journey to finally embracing my height came when I decided to start an Instagram account (@mytall40s), sharing pieces I loved that fitted my longer limbs, and I thought other tall women might be interested in too. 

In doing this, I never imagined that not only would it grow into such an incredibly supportive space, where other women can connect and share their experiences, but it would be the place where I finally found the courage to embrace my own height, and it's taught me to celebrate what makes us unique!

Over the past 18 months, I’ve dedicated myself to designing clothes that truly fit and flatter taller frames, starting with the pieces I’ve always dreamed of wearing.  From the perfect jumpsuits, to versatile long-sleeve tees.  Each piece is thoughtfully crafted to combine effortless style, comfort and the perfect fit.

This is just the beginning!  Olim London is committed to creating a wardrobe that empowers tall women to embrace their height with confidence and pride.

Thank you for being part of this journey.  Together, we’re changing the narrative, one beautifully tailored tall piece at a time! 

Tall hugs,
