The smart set’s talking about...
Beautiful brainbox Olympia Campbell
GENIAL Old Etonian businessman Roddy Campbell once joked that he didn’t know why he had spent £250,000 educating his two daughters, Edie and Olympia, at top private schools when they had gone on to become models.
So he’ll be delighted to learn that Mulberry mannequin Olympia, 23, is celebrating after winning funding to study for a PhD in Biosocial Research at University College London.
‘Olympia must be this country’s cleverest model,’ gushes a pal.
Educated at £19,000-per-year City of London School for Girls, Olympia hopes to end up working in ‘policy, the development industry or politics’. Raised by Roddy and his ex-wife, architect Sophie Hicks, Olympia studied Human Sciences at UCL, graduating last year.
She and Burberry model Edie, 28, do enjoy letting their hair down, too. They once hosted a joint birthday party where the dress code was ‘Absolute Filth’. Their father entered into the spirit, slipping into a lady’s black swimsuit, bunny ears and fishnets.
