one that is the most emotional for me is this one it's from the 10th November 1995. it was at the orphanage and my parents came to the orphanage my parents are not about blood my parents are about love [Music] hi Vogue it's Olivia roostan welcome to my house in Paris [Music] today I'm going to show you my favorite objects and we're gonna discover all my secret rooms foreign [Music] so my first object so this is my Gold Eagle I found it close to Paris called santois it's a market when I go to this Market I never know what I want to get and I got a crush on this Eagle I didn't know that I wanted that eagle in my house right now but at the moment I got it I was just like love at first sight this one comes from the beginning of the 19th century it's made of gold and you have an amethyst I really love and believe in stone and I believe in the effects of stone for me it's really important to have the great energy amethyst bring you so much calm foreign here you are in my living room I love so much this space because it's full of light great energy I love sketching here as well sometime during the day and the space is kind of like a loft it's been seven years that I bought a house and sixth year that I'm living in a house because it took like almost a year to actually create everything that I wanted a lot of marble a lot of velvet Black Velvet as you know me in my obsession for black and gold foreign a special book something really emotional to me that my family gave me it was two years ago I think and it feels really special because My adoptive family they brought me this book of incredible moments of my life that are really special it's called or my initials and it's all about the beginning of my life with people that I love the most my family one that is the most emotional for me is this one it's from the 10th November 1985. it was at the orphanage when I was just born and my parents came to the orphanage and they loved me apparently from first side when you want to adopt a baby it's not easy and so that one year of trying and trying to get that little baby that they loved all these incredible pictures for the orphanage are really important because my parents Define my life and we are all here together thanks to my parents and the show that I've made oh yes when I was a gardener I was always in my room sketching because I love sketching from day one my dad was like go out from the room and let's work on the garden I mean maybe it was the first and the last time that I did that look at that the outfit I think is the most impressive because everything was matching oh look my first cat as well I don't know what I'm the most obsessed with in this picture is it the cat or these little jumpsuit stripy so basically I've always been into Stripes if you think about it there are some moments when you see me like having my first Barbie and I was like super super proud sometimes you know it's fashion you kind of try to keep your feet on the ground and it's not easy and this book reminds me every time where I come from the hard fight for my parents to get me and to adopt me and so it reminds me the values of love and and not losing myself you know with the craziness of this world maybe it was a way as well to remind me that no matter if I found my biological mother or my biological father my parents are not about blood my parents are about love so after showing you this album I have another idea because there is an object that I'm obsessed with one of my faves I will be right back so I told you something really unexpected bye Barbie two years ago Mattel did his Barbie for me it was a gift they worked for like six months maybe to create this Barbie I was so proud I'm obsessed with metal I'm obsessed with Barbie and finally I have my Barbie that hits me it's a little or foreign this is my beautiful bathroom where I can just relax and my bathtub that I'm obsessed with I'm just doing this like every night or almost every weekend with my gold swamps comes from Napoleon so it's really old sometimes work sometimes doesn't work you know this is France it's like if you go to hotel cost like you just love the magic of it but sometimes it doesn't work welcome to Paris I got an accident like two years ago and my hands and my face was burned so I was hiding all my scars with my rings and it's almost like putting some makeup but just for the hands sometimes you realize that cosmetic and makeup and accessories can actually help to just hide some time your scars and sometimes accepting them I thank God I thank all my doctors to make sure that I heal well but definitely has been um let's say a year and a half of trying to heal personally long journey long process [Music] my little lighter from Chris and Kim for my third year's birthday and this is a vintage Cartier and they know that I'm obsessed with lighters so this is one of my favorite objects that I have in my house so this lighter reminds me the Friendship Chris is like my spiritual mother we just spent so much time together we love each other and him obviously the same we are so close so when I have this lighter in my house you know it keeps reminding me the love that we have together and I have many other presents but um this one is really to me really special [Music] so this is the picture of my documentary and he was discovering my Origins that's for 30 years I didn't know where I come from and looking for my parents he was two years of shooting this documentary and we didn't know if I would find answers to my research and it's been years and years that I was looking for my origin understanding why my mother and my burgical mother didn't want me so discovering my mom was 14 years old and maybe not consented you know that was a really tough situation on top of that I have my collections at Barman and my Fashion Show seasons after Seasons it was really hard for me [Music] and so this is one of my favorite favorite room in my house my kitchen I've been inspired from south of France slash Moroccan Vibe and I'm obsessed with my table we created this table made of wood from the south of France mixed between Plexiglas and a huge tree the first thing that I do in the morning is coming to my kitchen and get some fresh orange juice fresh banana juice doing some milkshakes and I love cooking eggs I'm so bad at cooking I have a huge kitchen but I don't know how to cook [Music] foreign [Music] because this is really my secret room that no one knows come with me so this is the space where I swim every morning I have my steam room in the back and I just love the calm I'm as well meditating in the morning I'm doing my yoga I have a bar so sometimes I'm throwing parties but the most of it I'm just loving just being on my own in the morning here and swimming maybe for an hour in my pool I swim every day and I'm obsessed with water so every time I can jump in a pool I do this wall is made of bamboo it was almost like creating a painting just cutting like different bamboos foreign [Music] I think it's the end for today hope you enjoyed the trip bye [Music]
