When Joséphine Le Tutour introduces herself, the Brittany native is charmingly direct: “I’m French and I’m 22 years old. I grew up in the countryside. I love traveling when I’m off, but I also get to travel a lot for my job,” she tells us. “What else could I ask for?” Five years ago, Le Tutour won Elite’s “Elite Model Look” contest in France; these days, she’s in campaigns for Max Mara and walks for the likes of Chanel. Her brother, Julian, is also a model.

THE PERSON I ADMIRE THE MOST:
I’m not someone that has a hero or idolizes someone. I’m more inspired by people that I know personally—my family, for example.

QUESTIONS I CAN’T ANSWER: 
I can’t answer this question.

MY GREATEST ADVENTURE:
I had the chance to swim with dolphins and it was one of the most amazing experience of my life.

EVENTS I WISH I’D WITNESSED: 
The last Eurocup!

THINGS I’D LIKE TO IMPROVE ABOUT MYSELF: 
I’d like to be able to step back on things more easily.

GAMES I PLAY:
Sugar Crush. I have to admit, it’s very addictive. 

MY GREATEST VICE: 
I go shopping too much.

THINGS I’LL BE REMEMBERED BY:
I hope I’ll be remembered for the work I did with my family to improve women’s lives in three villages in Senegal. I’m really proud of that. And proud of my family. 

SOME THINGS I’D RATHER FORGET:
I think it’s easier to forget something if you don’t have to talk about it. 😉 

MY IDEA OF HAPPINESS: 
Is very simple—being with the people I love is all I need. 

ONE LAST FAVOR I’D LIKE TO ASK:
Being able to keep my life as it is for as long as I can.
