We are delighted to announce Anya Labonville as an official nominee for the Paris Fashion Awards in the prestigious Legacy Award category.
Anya Labonville is an accomplished model whose work is defined by intention, depth, and quiet strength. A new mother and wife, she is redefining what it means to build an enduring career while remaining deeply rooted in family, values, and purpose. Her life moves fluidly between fashion, business, philanthropy, and global culture, shaped by curiosity and an openness to the world.
Travel is central to who Anya is. Having lived and worked internationally, she draws inspiration from places, people, and cultures across the globe. Movement and exploration inform her creative vision, her sense of style, and her worldview, bringing richness and perspective to everything she touches. That global fluency is felt in her presence. Poised, thoughtful, and quietly powerful, she leads with intention in every space she enters.
Giving back is fundamental to Anya’s life and work. She is actively involved with Runway to Hope, a Florida-based nonprofit supporting children and families facing pediatric cancer, using her platform to raise awareness, inspire action, and help bring hope to children in treatment.
After stepping away from a high-impact career in strategic growth at SERHANT. in New York, Anya entered a new chapter as an investor and stakeholder in Slay the USA, the national bestselling women’s storytelling series and media platform spotlighting extraordinary women across the country.
She is also curating and co-authoring Model Life, a first-of-its-kind book set to launch during Fashion Weeks FW 2026, offering an intimate look into the ambition, resilience, and inner lives behind the fashion industry’s most compelling faces.
With a lifelong love for Vogue and the world of high fashion, Anya is no longer simply participating in the industry. She is shaping it. Today, she is building a legacy that blends creative vision, global perspective, and philanthropy, while keeping family at the center of everything she creates.
