The intersection of fashion and women’s basketball has officially entered a new era.

This week on Behind the Sport, I sit down with Olivia Nielsen — the visionary behind what she calls the “Vogue of Women’s Basketball.” From her roots and family influence to building a brand that blends style, identity, and athlete culture, Olivia breaks down how she carved her own lane in an industry that didn’t always have one for her.

We talk about:

– Her journey into fashion and sports culture
– The childhood stories of playing against future WNBA stars
– Why women’s basketball style is having a cultural moment
– The current WNBA revenue-sharing conversations and what they mean for players
– The rise of Unrivaled and what it signals for the league
– Exclusive insight into the upcoming launch of Damecore 👀

This isn’t just about clothes. It’s about ownership. Power. Visibility. And where the business of women’s sports is headed next.

If you care about the future of women’s basketball — on or off the court — this episode is one you don’t want to miss.

There’s always more to the story than what you see.

In this episode of Behind the Sport, we sit down with celebrity makeup artist Allison Kaye—whose work has been seen across sports, media, and entertainment, helping shape the image of some of the industry’s biggest moments.

But what does it really take to build a career behind the scenes?
In a world that often focuses on the spotlight, Allison shares what it’s like to be the person helping create it—from the pressure and precision of her craft, to navigating a fast-paced industry where perfection is expected and rarely seen.

This conversation goes beyond beauty. It’s about creativity, discipline, identity, and the work that happens before the cameras ever turn on.
Because the people behind the scenes…
are part of the story too.
