After 5 years of working at The Movember Foundation, Oliver was given the opportunity of a lifetime, to follow a dream. A chance to work closely and learn from one of the best fashion stylists in the world, Elgar Johnson, at the UK’s leading menswear publication British GQ. Oliver went on to work and train under Elgar for over two years, working on all British GQ and GQ Style shoots, with multi luxury fashion brands and talent from all over the world. Together Johnson and Sharp also work on Johnson’s freelance work including; fashion shows, adverts, and much more.

Since leaving British GQ Style, Oliver now works as a stylist himself, working in both menswear and womenswear on fashion shoots, music and fashion videos, commercials and celebrity appearances.
