- 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.

Hi, Vogue, it's Olivier Rousteing.
Welcome to my house in Paris.
Today I'm gonna show you my favorite objects,
and you're gonna discover all my secret rooms.
So, my first object.
So, this is my gold eagle.
I found it close to Paris called Saint Ouen, it's a market.
When I go to this market, I never know what I wanna 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 that I got it,
I was just like love at first sight.
This one it 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.
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 six year that I'm living in the house,
because it took like almost a year,
to actually create everything that I wanted.
Lot of marble, lot of velvet, black velvet,
as you know me and my obsession for black and gold.
So, now I'm just gonna show you 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, 1995
was at the orphanage when I was just born,
and my parents came to the orphanage,
and they loved me apparently from first sight.
When you wanna adopt babies is not easy,
and so they had 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 defined my life,
and we are all here together,
thanks to my parents and the chore they have made.
Oh, yes, when I was a gardener,
'cause 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 this little jumpsuit?
Stripy.
So, basically I've always been to stripes,
if you think about it.
There are some moments when you see me,
like having the my first Barbie,
and I was like super, super proud.
Sometime, you know, with 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 remind me the values of love,
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 fave.
I will be right back.

So, I told you something really unexpected, my Barbie.
Two years ago, Mattel did this 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 Mattel, I'm obsessed with Barbie,
and finally I have my Barbie that it's me.
It's a little OR.
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 swans.
Comes from Napoleon so it's really old.
Sometimes works, 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 sometime 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 sometime your scars,
and sometime accepting them.
I thank God, I thank all my doctors,
to make sure that I heal well,
but definitely has been, let's say a year and a half,
of trying to heal personally.
Long journey, long process.

My little lighter from Kris and Kim,
for my 30 years birthday,
and this is a vintage Cartier,
and they know that I'm obsessed with lighters,
so this is one of my fave object that I have in my house.
So, this lighter reminds me the friendship.
Kris is like my spiritual mother.
We just spend so much time together, we love each other,
and Kim obviously the same, we're 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 this one is really to me, really special.

So, this is the picture of my documentary,
and it was discovering my origins,
that for 30 years I didn't know where I come from,
and looking for my parents.
It 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,
my biological 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 Bowman,
and my fashion show seasons after seasons,
it was really hard for me.
And so this is one,
of my favorite, favorite room in my house.
My kitchen.
I've been inspired from south of France/American vibe,
and I'm obsessed with my table.
We created this table made of wood from the south of France,
mixed between plexiglass 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.
[gentle music]
So, guys, you're really lucky,
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 sometime 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.

Hey, Vogue, I think it's the end for today.
Hope you enjoy the trip.
Bye.
