Lily Donaldson aka Lily biography

Real biography: Introduction

Lily Donaldson is ranked as one of the top 8 models in the fashion world. She replaced British supermodel Kate Moss in 2007 as the “younger face” of Burberry.

Modeling Career

Since being scouted by Select Model Management in 2003 at the age of 16 while shopping in Camden, Donaldson has become one of Britain's most coveted models, landing campaigns for leading fashion houses such as Dior, Jil Sander, Burberry and Dolce & Gabbana.

In 2005, Donaldson was nominated for the Model of the Year award at the British Fashion Awards, but was beaten by Karen Elson.

In the May 2007 issue of American Vogue, she was featured on the cover with fellow models Doutzen Kroes, Caroline Trentini, Raquel Zimmermann, Sasha Pivovarova, Agyness Deyn, Coco Rocha, Hilary Rhoda, Chanel Iman, and Jessica Stam as the new crop of supermodels and she was described as the "smartest and most sophisticated of the bunch". Later, in the September 2007 issue of British Vogue, she was named a "Head Girl", a model to watch out for in the upcoming season.

Donaldson is one of the favorite models of designer Alber Elbaz of Lanvin. Booking agents describe her as down to earth and a pleasure to work with.
