6 Things Inspiring Claire Olshan Right Now
Claire Olshan is a curator by nature. As an avid art collector and the founder of both the luxury boutique Fivestory and DADA, a snack and lifestyle brand inspired by the Dada movement, she’s an excellent resource for discovering under-the-radar designers, interior inspiration, and wildly creative entertaining ideas (her DADA tablescapes are the stuff of legend). Recently, Olshan, who lives in New York with her two young children, turned her discerning eye to something entirely different: Born Free, a documentary focused on the maternal health crisis in America.
Below, Olshan shares a few of the things that are inspiring her right now.
1
Born Free
iTunes, $14.99
There was nothing in life more obvious to me than getting involved in Born Free. What truly amazed me was that while this film exposes a heartbreaking part of our health care system, it leaves one feeling empowered and energized to save mothers and soon-to-be mothers in need. It’s currently available on iTunes and should be watched by anyone who is a mother or has a mother.

DADA “Baby Won’t You Light My Legs?” Match Striker

Now that we’ve got our seasonal uniform down, it’s time to get our toolkit for entertaining. There should never be an entertaining moment where fire isn’t needed. Candles, joints, your one cig of the year…things that light up give some heat to the entertaining experience.

DADA Vegan Milk Chocolate Elderberry Truffles
DADA, $23
Vegan milk chocolate boobies that are so perfect, you will want to bring them to your plastic surgeon and say, “Make me these!”

Last but never least. This is like drinking the love child of Ellsworth Kelly and Dom Pérignon.
