	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP | BLOG

Filippa Palmstierna Hamilton, born on December 3, 1985, in Paris, is an international fashion model and the official face of Ralph Lauren.

Hamilton was raised in Biarritz, France. After being discovered at the age of 15 on the streets of Paris by French photographer Marc Hispard, Filippa captured the attention of industry insiders with her striking beauty.

It was not long after being introduced to modeling that 16-year-old NEXT newcomer secured her first major advertising campaign with Ralph Lauren; Hamilton is the new face of Romance, Ralph Lauren’s fragrance, photographed by Bruce Weber. Filippa has worked with some of the industry’s leading lensmen including Paolo Roversi, Mario Testino, Arthur Elgort, Inez van Lamsweerde, Terry Richardson and Gilles Bensimon.

Hamilton talks about herself in 2003 Polo.com interview - Hamilton likes painting and hanging out with friends, her model inspiration is Christy Turlington, being the face of Ralph Lauren is a dream come true, and she travels to fashion shows and photoshoots with her mother.

Filippa is a French and Swedish national. Her father Michaël Palmstierna Hamilton (born in 1955 to Swedish parents count and World War II Waffen-SS volunteer Ulph Hamilton and baroness Margaretha Palmstierna) won the right to bear the Hamilton name, and was recognized as a member of the Swedish nobility in 1999. Ulph Hamilton was born in 1920 to Swedish count and Wehrmacht volunteer James Douglas Hamilton and Copenhagen socialite Erna Hamilton (née Simonsen).
