Vanessa: Hello Olympe, In a few words, what can you tell us about yourself?

Olympe Leparoux: Hey my name is Olympe, I'm French and I live in Paris.
I am a model but also a business school student.

Vanessa Sposi: Where do you get your inspiration? Who are your muses?

Olympe Leparoux: I love Jane Birkin's influence. In fact, she is a real inspiration and a fashion icon for me, with her simple and effortless style, but extremely modern and timeless. And one of my favorite accounts is @stylenotcom, I feel like she is my best friend who keeps me up to date with the latest fashion news, so she is a must-follow account!!

Vanessa Sposi: What is the most unforgettable place you have traveled to? What are your favorite sunny destinations?

Olympe Leparoux: Definitely Senegal! My mother is of Senegalese origin. So when I had the chance to go there last year I couldn't be more proud. I did my very first fashion show there, for Chanel. So I experienced a lot of emotions and this experience will remain forever etched in my memory.

Vanessa Sposi: What do you think about responsible fashion?

Olympe Leparoux :

The fashion industry is still one of the most polluting in the world. Making a conscious decision to shop with sustainable brands can really make a difference to the planet and the people who live on it.
So Vanessa Sposi favors materials from regenerative, organic, renewable and recycled sources and is committed to promoting biodiversity through her choice of materials.
I think it's a good way to keep your passion for fashion going without continuing to wreak havoc on the environment.

Vanessa Sposi: A secret or hidden talent?

Olympe Leparoux: First of all, I am passionate about animals, but above all a horse rider, I LOVE animals (in fact maybe even more than humans).
