Olivia Palermo (born February 28, 1986) is an American businesswoman and entrepreneur.[1][2]

Early life

Born in New York, N.Y., Palermo attended primary school at Nightingale-Bamford School in Manhattan and high school at the St. Luke’s School (Connecticut). She attended the American University of Paris and The New School in New York.[3] She is of Italian descent.

Career

Palermo began her career as part of MTV's television show, The City.[4] The series aired for two seasons from 2008 until 2010, and focused on the personal and professional lives of several young women residing in New York City.[5] As part of the show, Palermo worked for Diane von Fürstenberg and later in the accessories department for Elle magazine.[6]

In 2009, Palermo signed with the talent agency Wilhelmina International Inc. to focus full-time on development of her brand.[7] She became a guest editor for the Gap's now-defunct Piperlime.com in 2011 and appeared as a guest judge on Project Runway Season 9.[8][9] In 2010, Palermo modeled for the Autumn/Winter campaigns by Mango and Hogan.[10][11] In October 2011, Palermo launched her personal website, which consists of editorial content about fashion, beauty and lifestyle written by full-time writers and contributing editors.[12] She also appeared as a guest judge on Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model Season 7.[13] Later in 2012, the New York Post named Palermo as the best dressed New Yorker of Page Six.[14][15]

Co-branded partnerships

In 2010, Palermo launched a co-branded, limited jewelry collection with Roberta Freymann and became the face of the Mediterraneo collection by Spanish jewelry brand Carrera y Carrera.[16][17] In August 2011, Palermo was invited by Stuart Weitzman to design a shoe for charity.[18] Later in 2014, she designed a line of sunglasses for American brand Westward Leaning, and a percentage of each sale went to support the Association for Development, Alternative Commerce, and Micro Credits's Masaai Project.[19][20] Also in 2014, Palermo collaborated with Italian shoe label Aquazzura on a line of footwear.[21]

In 2015, Palermo collaborated on collections with luxury leather and accessories brand Aspinal of London, the American jewelry and accessories brand Baublebar, and makeup company Ciaté London.[22][23][24] She went on to partner with Nordstrom on a fashion line in 2016 and with Banana Republic in 2017.[25][26]

Brand ambassadorships

Palermo was named the brand ambassador of the 2013 and 2014 Maasai Project for Pikolinos.[27]

In September 2016, Banana Republic announced Palermo as the brand's first Women's Global Style Ambassador through 2017.[26]

Palermo married German model Johannes Huebl in June 2014.[28]
