Few things mean more to Olivia Petronella Palermo than a morning cappuccino or her Grandmother\u2019s Herm\u00e8s scarf. Her area code may be Parisian, but she secretly dreams of vanishing to a ranch filled with rescue animals, fruit trees, and a wildflower garden.<\/p>\n

The first thing you should know about me is ..<\/strong>. I\u2019m chronically five minutes late, but worth the wait.<\/p>\n I\u2019m currently living in \u2026<\/strong> Paris<\/p>\n My favourite thing about it is …<\/strong> Having an evening with friends, wine, and beautiful view of the city.<\/p>\n But if I could be anywhere, I\u2019d be \u2026<\/strong> At home in Los Angeles with my family, enjoying the sunshine \u2013 something Paris unfortunately lacks this time of year.<\/p>\n My star sign is \u2026<\/strong> Gemini.<\/p>\n It suits me because \u2026<\/strong> It suits me perfectly because I am multidimensional. People usually associate Gemini\u2019s with being two-faced<\/a>, but I think it really has more to do with complexity.<\/p>\n My friends would describe me as \u2026<\/strong> Funny, spontaneous, considerate, loyal, and maybe slightly chaotic at times.<\/p>\n I am my most myself when \u2026<\/strong> Whenever I am in nature, whether it be surrounded by trees or resting by the sea. It\u2019s very grounding to me.<\/p>\n I like to start my day by \u2026<\/strong> Having a cappuccino.<\/p>\n And finish it with …<\/strong> Drinking a tea \u2013 preferably with ginger and lemon.<\/p>\n I would describe my personal style as \u2026<\/strong> Comfortable, colourful, and ever-changing.<\/p>\n The most special piece in my wardrobe is \u2026<\/strong> My Grandmother\u2019s Herm\u00e8s scarf.<\/p>\n The best advice I\u2019ve been given is \u2026<\/strong> Mind over matter. The person who knows me best is \u2026 My Mum! She can read right through me. All these years, and I still don\u2019t understand how she does it. It\u2019s like she can see into my brain and understand (almost) everything.<\/p>\n Working with Cartier for this cover feels like \u2026<\/strong> I\u2019m stepping into a world that feels timeless.<\/p>\n A song that fortifies me would be \u2026<\/strong> Power<\/em> by Al Green. One of my favourite songs of all time.<\/p>\n An album I\u2019ve had on repeat is \u2026<\/strong> Anything by Lana Del Rey<\/a>.<\/p>\n A comfort film I love to rewatch is \u2026<\/strong> Ponyo<\/em> by Hayao Miyazaki<\/a>.<\/p>\n A special moment in my career so far has been \u2026<\/strong> Shooting a Mother\u2019s Day campaign with my Mum. Getting to shoot a campaign is already an amazing experience, and having my Mum there felt extra special. It was a day neither of us will forget.<\/p>\n A dream I\u2019m still yet to realise is \u2026<\/strong> I secretly dream of disappearing to a ranch with rescue animals, fruit trees, and a messy flower garden.<\/p>\n When I get a week off, I\u2019m headed to \u2026<\/strong> The south of France.! It\u2019s the perfect getaway from Paris and I love to go visit my family living there.<\/p>\n The future looks \u2026<\/strong> Bright! Who\u2019s to say where I\u2019ll be in five more years, but I can\u2019t wait for what\u2019s in store.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Experience the\u00a0UNITY!<\/em> issue in its entirety this November, available on newsstands from Monday 17 November 2025, and through our online shop<\/a>.\u00a0Find a stockist near you<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PHOTOGRAPHY Olivia Fr\u00f8lich @ Link Details<\/small><\/p>\n FASHION Hannah Cooper<\/small><\/p>\n MODEL Olivia Petronella Palermo @ NEXT Paris <\/small><\/p>\n HAIR Phillip Fohlin @ Link Details <\/small><\/p>\n MAKEUP Kamila Vay <\/small><\/p>\n PHOTOGRAPHER\u2019S ASSISTANTS Jacob Carbuhn <\/small><\/p>\n DIGITAL OPERATOR Martin Simonic<\/small><\/p>\n LIGHTING Jacob Carbuhn <\/small><\/p>\n STYLIST\u2019S ASSISTANT Hayley Clutterbuck <\/small><\/p>\n CASTING DIRECTOR Neill Seeto @ IMA Casting<\/small><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
