Biography:
The City star, socialite and ultra-fashionista Olivia Palermo was born into something of a privileged household. Her wealthy father is a real estate developer and her mum is an interior designer. Olivia grew up between New York’s exclusive Upper West Side and Greenwich, Connecticut where first attended a private all-girls prep school and then a private high school. From there it was on to the private American University of Paris for a year, before studying media at The New School, NYC, a university renowned for its avant-garde teaching methods. All in all making Olivia’s educational CV one of the most expensive we have ever seen.
Olivia first came to our attention with her part in The City, a spin-off of TV hit The Hills set in NYC. Originally reluctant to take part in the show, Olivia signed up in the end hoping The City would help her learn more about acting. The show ran for two seasons.
Signed to Wilhelmina Models in 2009, Olivia now models for Mango, has launched her own jewellery line, is spokesmodel for the Freda fashion label and is reportedly working on her very own reality TV show. She has been dating the unbelievably gorgeous model Johannes Huebl since 2008, making them one of the hippest and hottest fashion couples in NYC.
