Lily Cole Hates Trends
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models,
"I don't personally follow trends, I don't even like the idea of trends. I think it's kind of absurd that you have to change every six months, so I always try and buy things that hopefully I'll like forever, and resonate with me. And I have fun with it, as well. I kind of see clothes a bit like role-playing, depending what mood I'm in. And I think, also vintage. There are so many great, great vintage clothes to find, there's a whole territory unexplored there."
Lily also admitted she has no plans to return to modeling, but is "open" to taking on the occasional job. "No, there's a lot of very brilliant, talented people in the fashion industry so I'm still open to working occasionally if it's the right person and the right situation but I've stepped quite far from that industry," she said when asked whether or not she would return to the catwalk.

Lily Cole Won’t Experiment with Make-up

Lily Cole doesn't like experimenting with make-up. The 23-year-old model favors a natural look and has particular products she always uses, and says the only thing she changes is her lip color.
"I like Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua foundation and go for taupe colors, a really natural look. I like products that enhance, rather than mask, your face. I don't tend to experiment a lot with make-up, I just do what I do, but I like to play with different lip colors," she said.
Lily - who has teamed up with The Body Shop for her first make-up range - particularly favors a minimal make-up look during the warmer months, but stays away from fake tan because of her naturally pale complexion: "In summer I think less is more. I like La Roche-Posay sunscreens, and use make-up with an SPF. Bronzing is tricky - it ends up looking orange on my fair skin - so I prefer a deep pink blush like Lily Cole Lip & Cheek Dome in Pinch Me Pink. You can layer it from a sheer color to a warm flush.
Lily Cole: Physical Perfection Doesn’t Exist

Lily Cole doesn't believe in physical perfection. The supermodel and actress admits she has put herself until pressure to maintain a certain look in the past but says as she has gotten older, she realizes that no one is perfect.
Speaking in a new film created for the New Thinker's Index, Lily, 23, said, "I don't believe in perfection, I don't believe it exists and I don't believe it's necessary. I've put myself under a lot of pressure in the past, too skinny or too fat. It can be quite a destructive way to live life. A lot of advertising can make people think you're not enough as you are, you're not enough until you have that or look like that."
Although Lily sometimes got annoyed with photographers demanding constant alterations while shooting her, she admitted Irving Penn, who died in 2009, knew exactly what he was doing.
"In terms of fashion Irving Penn kept making me make such tiny alterations when I posed for him, I remember thinking it seemed silly, it was so particular but after seeing the contact sheet I realized the last two shots had nailed it."

Bullied Lily Cole
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models,
Now renowned for her gorgeous red locks, Lily Cole was bullied for being ginger.
The beautiful supermodel has admitted she was cruelly taunted when she was at school for having red hair, and although it was initially hard to deal with, she soon grew to love being different.
“When I was younger I definitely did face anti-ginger prejudice. As a child all teasing hurts, whether it’s because you’re fat or a different race or have red hair. I had enough comments from a couple of people to make it a sore point. I sympathize with children who are going through it but when they get older and are away from stupid children making comments, most people grow to love their red hair,” the model-turned-actress - whose unusual coloring made her a millionaire and the face of cosmetic giants Rimmel - said.
She also denied the fashion industry has a problem with drugs and eating disorders - claiming it is found everywhere: “No, those problems exist everywhere. I’ve seen them at school and in other working environments. Going down those roads is a personal choice and one I haven’t made so I haven’t been exposed to it.”
Lily Cole Planning to Retire From Modeling
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News, Rumors,
As much as it was hoped to be a rumor, Lily Cole is seriously considering to retire from modeling.
The flame-haired British beauty admits her heart lies in acting, and her days left in the modeling world may be numbered.
“I love acting and if the right opportunity did come along I would definitely consider quitting altogether. It is certainly something I want to prioritize in the future. It’s not a finite decision though - I may not get the opportunity. If a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came along I’d even consider leaving Cambridge University to do a film. I’d definitely weigh up my options and talk to my tutors about flexibility.”
The 22-year-old model, however, admits her time in the industry has helped her develop as an actress.
“It’s hard to distinguish whether it has helped but I don’t know any other way. It’s definitely helped confidence wise. I find acting much more of a challenge - acting is definitely harder.”
Recently Lily confessed she was not into following trends and prefers to wear timeless pieces: “To be honest, I’m not a huge follower of trends. I just go with what I feel and what I like, I have a lot of things in my wardrobe that like I consider quite timeless and that I’ll wear again and again through the years.”
Catwalks May Lose Lily Cole to the Big Screen
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News, Rumors,
Lily Cole is fed up of modeling.
The 21-year-old beauty wants to veer away from the fashion and beauty industry and instead plans to spend the rest of her working days focusing on her acting career.
“I’d like to act and not really model so much. I wouldn’t want to treat acting as a convenient thing to do now and again. I’ve been doing modeling for years and I feel like I’ve taken out of it what I need to and I’m ready for new things.”

Quote of the Day: Lily Cole on Failure
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models,
“I’ve never studied the correlation between the decades of plenty and the size of models, but it’s interesting, for sure. I was never asked to lose weight. I’m assuming people who are less successful are the ones who are told they need to be teeny to be so.”
- UK size 6 model Lily Cole on why other models haven’t found the same success she has met (oh, to wonder what Flippa Hamilton would say!).
