A Vibe Called Black with Olivia Anthony

Hey well read baddies! This week, we’re joined by fashion designer, influencer, and Birmingham’s own Olivia Anthony—founder of LIV Streetwear and co-creator of A Vibe Called Black, the all-Black, all-bold cultural celebration returning June 18. Recorded on Met Gala night, we dive into the theme of Black Dandyism and talk about how the Black community continues to set the tone, even when the mainstream fumbles the message. We also chat about Liv’s journey from styling on ASU’s campus to making fashion history, the legacy of streetwear, and why showing up is deeper than what you wear.
