1/16How does it feel to see yourself on the cover of Vogue Paris for the 8th time? I'm grateful to have been chosen to be a part of every one of the editions. What does the magazine mean to you? French Vogue is one of the most reputable fashion magazines in the world and it’s always an honor to work with them. They have been very supportive of me since the beginning of my career, so they're very special to me.
2/16You have worked with Mario Testino several times before, what is it like to shoot with him? The first time I shot for French Vogue, it was with Mario. He has always believed in me and has been one of my biggest supporters from the very beginning. He's funny and kind and I have so much fun with him every time we're together!
3/16Has your perception of the modelling industry changed over time? When I started, I was so young and naive and really didn't understand the business like I do today. So, yes, you could say that my perception has changed. Which supermodels did you look up to when you first started your modelling career? When I was 14, modelling was a job opportunity that appeared in my life and I ran with it, but it was never something I had dreamed of doing. I never looked at magazines and had no idea who the girls were, but today I've met so many of them that it’s hard to choose just one! I would say Christy Turlington, Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell are some of my favorites.
4/16Describe your perfect day off when you are not modelling? Wake up, snuggle with my kids, eat breakfast and spend the day outside bare foot, playing in nature.
Cultura RM/BRETT STEVENS5/16What is your breauty routine? Most importantly, I try to eat healthily, drink lots of water and meditate daily. I use organic coconut oil on my body and to cleanse my face, but I also like to use Leis Beiges healthy glow on my face for special occasions.
6/16What do you do to stay in shape? I love moving my body in different ways; I practice boxing, cycling, Kung Fu, yoga, surfing... It changes depending on where I am and what's around me.
7/16What is your go-to outfit for daytime? Jeans and a t-shirt. And evening? Depends on what I am doing. How do you perceive Parisian style? To me Parisian style is cool, simple and yet so chic at the same time. The Parisian woman's style seems timeless.
Getty Images8/16Name three things on your bucket list? I'd like to visit India, do Vipassana meditation for 10 days and work with children, that would be a good start. Do you feel more like a city person or a country person? I'm a country girl all the way.
