t’s a sweltering day downtown in the Bowery, the sort of humid August heat when it feels like Manhattan is melting. Boys in artful sarongs and beards cruise the sidewalk, girls in high-waisted cut-offs and snapbacks lean against open-air bars. It’s noon, and no one dares move too fast. But Elizabeth Olsen is not hot. In fact, she says she has frostbite in her fingers. Wearing black Calvin Klein jeans she picked up for $20 in a vintage store, slim black ankle boots and an oversized Altuzarra blouse, she’s been in air-conditioned TV studios doing interviews all morning and needs to defrost. She has asked that we meet in
Il Buco, a rustic Italian restaurant with the sort of premium paysan menu you’d recognise from places such as the River Cafe. This, she confides, is her favourite restaurant in New York: ‘My sisters have been bringing me here for my birthday since I was 15.’ Ah yes — her sisters. Mary-Kate and Ashley, the button-cute Disney twins who grew up in the full glare of the public eye, then reinvented themselves as fiercely private fashion entrepreneurs (their label, The Row, is as hot as ever, and they now own high-end concept boutiques in New York and LA). Elizabeth — or Lizzie as she introduces herself — shares their delicate features: blonde locks, Bambi eyes and symmetrical porcelain face. But what’s intriguing about this sister is that she can turn

my london
Jeremy Scott as told to Katrina Israel
Home is… The Hollywood Hills, where I have been based since I moved from Paris in 2002. What’s the first thing you do when you arrive back in London? Get something to eat at Mildreds (above). I love its veggie burgers.
Where do you stay when you’re in London? Claridge’s — it’s very comfy and cosy and it has impeccable service.
Your earliest London memory? I was 21, and I’d always been told I look like a London kid — think punkish kilts. Even my teachers at college in the US were like, ‘You should be going to Saint Martins, what are you doing here?’ So I got off the plane in London and was looking around for ‘my people’ and tourists kept coming up and asking me for a picture. Which building would you love to buy and live in? Buckingham Palace of course. I think I’d have to bring a few things in, but I would definitely want to keep a little bit of the Queen’s taste.

What do you collect? I love junk. I have a whimsical personality and sense of taste, so I love going to flea markets. Last season I was collecting all kinds of metal elements for a beret collaboration with English icon Judy Blame for the Moschino show.
The fashion designer loves eating at Sexy Fish, finds his comfort zone at Claridge’s and visits Rellik in Portobello for vintage wares What’s the last album you downloaded? Katy Perry, Witness (left). I’m playing it every day on my laptop. Best piece of advice you’ve ever received? Tom Ford told me: never use your own money, use other people’s. He’s always been like a big brother to me. Who do you call when you want to have fun in London? Fran Burns, Pixie Geldof, Ashley Williams and [Palace founder] Lev Tanju. What are you up to at the moment? I’m here to celebrate Magnum’s
Covent Garden pop-up, my Magnum x Moschino bag collection and a new combination for their dipping bar along with Miss Cara Delevingne (below, with Scott). She was always a big fan and opened my show when some designers thought that she was too small. I remember her being sad and consoling her like, ‘Don’t worry, they’ll all be clamouring one day.’ And now they couldn’t have her if they had bucketloads of cash.
Favourite London retail experience? [Vintage destination] Rellik (above) in Portobello. Co-owner Steven Phillip is so knowledgeable, I just pull up a chair and listen. What’s next? My September New York show, which will mark my 20th anniversary of being independent and owning my own company. Sometimes people have barely graduated from college and they’ve already sold their company, so I feel very proud of that. The Magnum x Moschino pop-up is at 21-23 Earlham Street, Covent Garden, WC2, until 10 September

What is the best meal you’ve had in London? I recently had dinner at Sexy Fish (left). They did a whole vegan menu — I’m vegetarian — and there was a yummy, yummy tofu and fried avocado dish that was delectable. The giant clamshell of desserts was also to die for.
