Alison Oliver reveals what fashion moment transports her back to 'playing dress up' as a child
Saltburn star Alison Oliver has told how high-fashion photoshoots remind her of childhood days playing dress-up with her sisters.
Alison Oliver says photoshoots take her back to her childhood when she used to "play dress-up" with her sisters.
The Saltburn actress - who is a Tiffany + Co ambassador - "really enjoys" putting on designer garments while posing for pictures for a publication, because it reminds her of such precious early memories.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph newspaper, she said: "It’s exactly like playing dress-up.
"I grew up with two older sisters, and we had a big dressing-up box.
"Now this is a part of the job that I’ve come to really enjoy. You just get to put on these amazing things and have fun."
Alison is pals with Dior's creative director, Northern Irish fashion designer Jonathan Anderson, 42, and she thinks the pair were drawn to one another in the fashion industry because of their roots.
She added: "I really do think that any Irish person in the industry just gels to the other.
"He is a very cool person and I’ve learnt a lot from him."
Alison, 29, previously worked with Jonathan at Loewe before his switch to Dior, and she has previously told how Jonathan has helped her to understand the fashion industry.
She told Elle magazine: "I didn’t understand that world at all before but, through Jonathan, I’ve gained a real appreciation for it."
Alison was announced as a Tiffany + Co ambassador in February.
To launch her role, she appeared in short film Learning Lines, in which she wore pieces from the company's HardWear collection.
She told British Vogue: "You feel so elevated in those pieces.
"You could wear them everyday and they’d never feel too much."
The short film told the story of Alison trying to gather some inner strength ahead of a role.
Speaking about the brand, the Conversations with Friends actress told the publication: "Tiffany + Co has an incredible way of capturing the beauty of the natural world.
"There is such beautiful craftsmanship in the high jewelry pieces, combined with such creativity that the pieces feel alive and in motion."
