Gianni Del Franco doesn’t just coach performance – he lives it. As a master level strength and conditioning coach and owner of Bio-Elite Personal Training, Del Franco helps high performers eliminate pain and rebuild strength. He brings the same intentionality and edge to his wardrobe.
Del Franco’s style has evolved from gym-only gear to smart, breathable pieces that transition from workout to night out. “Now my wardrobe has a variety of athletic suits, short-sleeved button-downs, and nice dress clothes that can be worn without dying in the summer heat,” he says.
His go-to power look: a navy State and Liberty suit and a white dress shirt with navy accents, paired with cognac dress shoes and belt. “My socks are another story – I love my video game culture and having a little pop of surprise when the socks show.”
Arizona heat plays a huge role in his fashion decisions. “I have to have clothes that breathe. I’m in my gym all day and it can get pretty spicy,” says Del Franco, noting his favorites include Fabletics for vibrant coaching wear and State & Liberty Clothing for its athletic, heat-friendly cuts.
Inspired by his wife and occasionally Ryan Reynolds, Del Franco’s style blends performance with personality. “Nothing I do fits the norm. I follow what I need — and make sure what I need looks good!”
Favorite fashion memory: My wife and I were parading around Barcelona and wandered into this beautiful store that had Italian wool cardigans. I got a great tan color that fit my outfit perfectly, paired with a white undershirt, jeans, and my Cole Haan sneakers to hit up a vineyard the next day.
What’s one fashion trend you hope stays gone? ’90s baggy jeans... It’s not a good look, not flattering on anyone, and has no function.
What’s a style risk you’re glad you took? Growing out my moustache! It used to be a longer curled handlebar. I wore it for 14 months before I decided to take a break.
Feminine & Fearless
Olga Phillips blends preppy perfection with CEO confidence

Olga Phillips, founder of Alpine Butterfly Swim and Phillips Law Foundation, brings the same bold energy to her wardrobe that she does to her work. Her style is unapologetically feminine, deeply personal and unmistakably hers.
“If Elle Woods and Brigitte Bardot shared a wardrobe, that’s what I’d reach for,” she says. “Always sweet, always styled, and never accidental.”
With a mix of thrifted gems and high fashion – think Chanel with a side of Antique Sugar Vintage Clothing – Phillips crafts looks that are feminine, a little preppy, and always put together. Her signature accessories include a nameplate necklace and Cartier panther bracelets layered with heirloom pieces. “It’s my Carrie Bradshaw moment,” she says.
Arizona’s intense heat hasn’t stopped her from serving style. Light fabrics, short hemlines, oversized sunglasses, and always a good lip liner are her essentials. Inspired by the ’90s, Mary-Kate Olsen and Bella Hadid, Phillips’ style reflects both confidence and heart. “Cher from Clueless energy, but make it Latina CEO,” she says.
Which colors and silhouettes do you naturally gravitate toward? I love black, always. I mix it with soft colors and clean, structured silhouettes.
What’s a fashion risk you’re glad you took? Wearing what I wanted – even when people told me to tone it down. That “risk” turned into a whole brand.
If your wardrobe could talk, what would it say about you? She’s not afraid to be seen – and she always has something to say.
