Last May, Vogue’s Jonathan Van Meter spent a couple of days hanging out with the newest group of supermodels (Coco, Doutzen, Chanel,) and referred to Lily Donaldson as “the smartest and most sophisticated of the bunch.”
But next month’s British Vogue reports that Lily’s intelligence is a little less straightforward, and that she’s actually just cooler and nicer than anyone else backstage.
Of a long, fractured quote Lily gives in trying to talk about her job, Daisy Garnett writes, “Only she doesn’t say this all at once as an articulated thought. She says it biting her lip and shrugging her shoulders and um-ing and ah-ing a lot.”
We’ve included part of the interview here so you can decide for yourself -
Either Lily is brilliant and just exhausted from fashion week (our bet), or Vogue was so excited about Lily’s sharp looks and shining aura that they automatically assigned it a character (also, sort of, our bet).
Her full interview is here - read it to realize why models should probably be met with before Fashion Week…

I did not hear such nice comments about her from fashion show producers last season...
