Dutch fashion model Rianne Van Rompaey covers the second 2023 issue of Harper’s Bazaar France, photographed in London by Alasdair McLellan [IG].

Today’s popular culture does not value discretion, but we don’t see an obvious financial price to be paid for models living a lower-profile life.

As long as a model remains respected and popular enough to generate income in media or on the runway — she must create value for her clients, after all — s[he] may enjoy a well-rounded life of experiences and opportunities that most people only dream about. These pros aren’t caught up in the social media hype machine that reduces models earning $20 million a year and more to weep live on IG over the misery of their lives and unfair Instagram comments.

Rianne Van Rompaey has that balance in her life. So do Vittoria Ceretti and Saskia De Brauw. Two Dutch models and an Italian. When one considers that it’s the Americans who weep, this reality begs for more thought. It’s a light bulb moment!!

As Harper’s Bazaar France notes, Rianne has mystery. She is building a top-tier career ar her own pace and in concert with her own values, pleasures and goals.

The second issue of the new Harper’s Bazaar France is out now, with a promise that Rianne Van Rompaey will “lift the veil’ on her personality.
