A Dirty Dancing vinyl, stacks of CDs, a Vogue magazine collection, jars of sea glass and shells, a Luke’s Diner coaster from Gilmore Girls, a lamp with coloured scarves sewn into it and posters of teen heartthrobs (young Johnny Depp and Australian singer Ruel).Olive wants to live like she’s “in the ’90s”. The front cover of her first self-published magazine, Olive, says it’s “for teens who want to live offline”.Inside, there’s a kaleidoscope of ideas and topics.
