Although international stylist Oli Sara is a natural at living the West Coast lifestyle, his ascent to the limelight was preceded by years of trans-Pacific exploration, and frequent trips to New York City that sparked his passion for fashion. Known for his displays of fashionable wide-leg trousers at red carpet events, Oli’s personal style is inspired by the same versatile concepts that underpin the luxurious essence of his clothing brand – OLI SARA. ,“My designs speak their own language of effortless sophistication,” expressed Oli, “I have shaped my life around honoring my creative ideas – always striving to produce authentic, high-fashion contributions to the fashion scene.” And though Oli reigns as a household name at international galas and invite-only occasions in LA, the high-fashion designer has his legacy in mind – devoted to cementing a formula of mastery across creative disciplines. Today, the socialite doubles as a globally recognized designer, and the in-house creative director at SKY Productions, Beverly Hills. 

Ascending to towering heights of stardom in Los Angeles is no game of luck. In fact, it is no game at all – achieving career success in the Golden State is as much a victory as it is a rarity. Be that as it may, Oli Sara has the recipe, so we suggest taking notes on his passion for creating art in different high-notes of motion. In Beverly Hills, Sara is climbing the ranks amongst the dynasties of the elite. “At Sky Productions, I reshape the intersection of fashion, arts, marketing, and event production in Los Angeles. My Hollywood presence comes down to fusing ideation,  perseverance, and strategic networking. Joining SKY Productions has marked a pivotal moment in my career trajectory – I operate from the epicenter of LA’s cultural scene.” 

Oli, who famously goes by ‘Oli’, developed an affinity for the U.S. four years ago as he found himself traveling between the trendy streets of New York City and the sun-kissed shores of California. The Philippine native had his sights set on settling down in the Big Apple, but fate had other plans. Oli’s dazzling visits to chateaus and exclusive soirees in LA brought him to the brink of a divine realization: the prominent clientele of the West Coast had a distinct aroma that promised new adventure. 

It was during a fated business trip to California that Oli secured a meeting with global media mogul, Tash Greizen. Greizen is a decorated member of the Forbes Council, and dominates the charts as one of LA’s leading figures of profitable business excellence. She is the crowned CEO of NOW MEDIA – aka, the digital communications agency that founded SKY Productions. Oli and Tash exchanged ideas of innovation during their private lunch in Malibu, brainstorming the future of SKY Productions as a premiere destination for immaculately produced projects. As he

grew more infatuated with the limitless future awaiting in LA, Oli relocated permanently to California, cozying into a posh apartment in Hollywood. 

Upon becoming Creative Director at SKY Productions, Oli received invitations to The Oscars, Emmys, and Golden Globes – paving his status as a rising star in the fashion entertainment industry. At the height of awards season, Oli found himself being interviewed about his personal attire on the red carpet, proudly promoting his own clothing label – OLI SARA. “Despite the distance between California and the Philippines, I oversee the intricate production process at my brand,” shared Oli, “Together we cultivate a sense of trust in collaboration, empowering one another to execute our visions with precision.” 

Since directing the GMA Gala last year, Oli has mastered directing events that double as a celebrity playground and creative culture hotspot. His execution to mapping the creative structure of the GMA Gala was revered as ‘effortlessly successful’ – earning Oli the role as creative director for the upcoming 2024 GMA Gala. With a packed schedule ahead, Oli is preparing to produce a concert in August followed by two fashion shows in October, ending the year by staging the Hollywood premiere of a Filipino film in November. You may have already spotted Oli Sara in Beverly Hills coolly floating down Rodeo Drive, photographed at random with new Erewhon smoothie flavors in hand. And if you haven’t spotted Oli on Rodeo Drive yet, you can catch a glimpse of his style at a Vanity Fair party – though we can’t guarantee that he and Billie Eilish won’t be in the middle of a conversation.
