Who’s Lily Collins?
1. A model signed with Next.
2. A girl who turns up in Marc in Teen Vogue’s party pages.
3. (Perhaps most significant) Phil Collins’ daughter.
4. A student at USC
And now?
4. Nickelodeon’s fashion reporter.
Lily will report from the sets of Nickelodeon shows, movie premiers, award shows, etc, to bring viewers 30-second clips of fashion news throughout the day, kind of like when MTV used to air news “on the hour every hour.”
We’re not sure how you would spin fashion into an interesting subject for a viewership of six year-olds (focus on accessories?) but, at the very least, we’re sensing a Teen Vogue cover in Lily’s very near future.
We hear from a model agent that Karlie Kloss is making the move from Elite to Next, effective pretty much immediately.
“They offered her family a lot of money to switch,” says the source, “And they couldn’t turn it down.”
Next represents some incredible talent (Petra Nemcova, Anja Rubik, Catherine McNeil, Joy Bryant), and adding Karlie to their stable will undoubtedly make their women’s board even stronger.
But Elite’s recently gained a reputation for nurturing new talent, with Coco Rocha skyrocketing from nowhere under the tutelage of her Elite managers, Ali Stephens booking the new Chloe campaign, and Darla Baker morphing into indie fashion’s go-to poster girl.
We love Next; we love Elite; we love Karlie; we can’t wait for Fashion Week.
But we’re also smitten with this extra bit of news:
Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, former face of Dior, and now-legal bombshell, is at Elite’s New York agency… and what’s more, she’s in their show package.
Riley on the runways for Fashion Week?! It’s too good…
