Think back to the 2025 CFDA Awards. It was just four months after Love Island’s Olandria Carthen left the villa. She was quickly climbing the social ladder as the season’s favorite, and, with that, made her first-ever debut in a fully custom Brandon Blackwood look next to the designer at the awards show. Now, just over 6 months later, the star has an entire collection dedicated to her.

“Each piece is designed to stand on its own while remaining true to the Brandon Blackwood ethos of bold silhouettes, rich textures, and intentional detailing,” as the press release stated. “We look forward to seeing how the collection is received as it comes to life, marking the continuation of an exciting relationship with Olandria.”
Touted as “the most anticipated collaboration of the year,” Olandria has been in her bag. Now, she’s named after one—make that four.
