| About Me | "Fashion fades. Style is eternal.” -Yves Saint Laurent John Byrd Olivieri. CEO and head designer for Nepenthe, was born on August 19th, 1987 in Durham NC.

In 2007, NEPENTHE was born. ‘Nepenthe’ is a drug used by the Greek to relieve pain and Sorrow. The meaning of the company's name is synonymous with John's passion for designing and creating beautiful and unique garments. The brand has been featured in the spring issue of Sparxx magazine, a publication currently distributed within the Greater Boston area, and August edition of Raleigh's own Triangle Socialite Magazine. Nepenthe was also named the winning collection of the 2011 New Act City Fashion Showcase. John's garments are currently being sold at Poor Little Rich Girl boutique, located in Atlanta, GA.

The Unspoken Jurisdiction collection was based around Chiffon, Satin, Leather and cotton-blend fabrics.
