Lou Doillon: Lee Cooper designer on WhoWhatWearDaily.com

02/25/2008

Known for her nonchalant cool and a truly individualistic way of putting herself together, Lou Doillon is an international fashion icon of the highest order. Perhaps it's genetics; after all, she is the daughter of French director Jacques Doillon and Jane Birkin (and half-sister of Charlotte Gainsbourg), so clearly she comes from stylish stock.

Still, bloodlines alone can't account for Doillon's status in the fashion industry. A model in her teen years, Doillon has already been the face of Chanel, Givenchy, and Miu Miu and is widely considered a major muse. Now she's trying her hand at the design process and has created a line for the British denim brand, Lee Cooper. The collection bears Doillon's style signatures, like ultra high-waisted shorts and jeans, and debuts in Harrods next month.

We look forward to seeing what path Doillon takes in the design world and have our fingers crossed that we'll get to see lots of great outfits from her during the upcoming Paris Fashion Week. Until then, we'll content ourselves with today's What Would She Wear story, featuring our favorite pieces for Doillon. Read on for the details of our imagined outfit!
