Thanks Luca*! Gotta love that bat accessory... Does anyone know what runway work she has done in the past... except for Missoni, Ann Demeulemeester, and Hermès?

I heard the song "The Girl is Gone" from her. It was...ok I guess. It came off like it was trying to hard to be honest. Very typical hipster vanity project with cliched lyrics. At least it was only a minute long.

I'm assuming yes? It might be on her MySpace although I'm not sure. I got the mp3 from the Filles Sourires blog. And she sings in English.

I believe that the lyrics are hers. I'm not sure about the music though. (She's working with Chris Brenner: Milla Jovovich's best friend, a musician himself [with great music, if you'd ask me])
This brings me to another question I've been asking myself lately: Did anyone of you buy some of her Lee Cooper stuff? I believe that she said in an interview, that the writing on the tags for her clothes were poems by her.
I'd love to see/read them.
Oh, and I think she mentioned that she's singing in english because she wants to avoid the comparison to Jane or Charlotte.

How I get dressed
Actress Lou Doillon, 25, on fake moustaches, green socks and her bohemian childhood
I'm very lucky that I come from a very, very beautiful family [Doillon is the daughter of Jane Birkin and sister of Charlotte Gainsbourg]. Everyone was so beautiful, stylish and serious in our house when I was growing up. I was the funny one - I wore skirts in crazy colours, petticoats, silly hats and scarves. I'd dress up in weird shoes and my dad's jacket to make them laugh. Humour like this is where English and French style differs, I think. In England you laugh at yourselves, in France we laugh at others. I still keep a sense of humour about my style even now. I had a laughing fit when I was modelling on the Missoni catwalk - it all felt so surreal and ridiculous - and I had to be helped off.
I am working on a film in America at the moment and I love New York style. This is a place where anything goes, and no one cares or judges. I go out in my enormous hat, dressed as a boy, with a fake moustache and people say, 'What a lovely moustache!' My style has changed since I was younger. I was kind of ashamed of my bourgeois family as a teenager, I guess - I had dreadlocks, shopped in thrift stores and pretended I had no money. At that time, I would have spat on a girl who was buying Yves Saint Laurent. I always laugh today thinking if I ran into my younger self, she would slap me. Wearing designer clothes was like selling my soul to the devil.
I still keep some rebellion in the way I dress now - I always start the day dancing to rock'n'roll. One of my fashion mottos is: 'It's better not to look your best so that people can imagine that the best is really much better.' I like contrasts. I wear elaborately dressed hair with a bare face or full make-up with messy, unkempt hair. My mother taught me to wash my hair as little as possible, and to rinse it with Coke before a shoot for a sexy, tousled look.
I shop at flea markets and don't choose clothes based on labels. For ready-to-wear, I do like Ann Demeulemeester, Maison Martin Margiela and Tsumori Chisato, and Christian Lacroix, Jean Paul Gaultier and John Galliano for haute-couture. But I try to give my clothes broader meaning and associations beyond fashion. I remember buying a Jean Paul Gaultier cardigan because it reminded me of L'Absinthe by Degas, or I'll get inspired by a Schiele image and put on thigh-high green socks and no one will get it.
My style has a lot of cultural references, and so does my collection for Lee Cooper. The autumn/winter collection is based on The Kid, the 1921 Charlie Chaplin movie. There are high waists and tight shoulders, with either fairly short or extremely long sleeves. I like highlighting what I find sensual in a woman - the wrists, shoulder blades, the hips - and I love creating my perfect pair of jeans. They were the first jeans brand to have the guts to be fun, which was what drew me to them. I have a history with Lee Cooper too. My mum did some ultra-sexy ads for them in the Seventies and Serge was a fan as well. I have been looking on YouTube at their old ads, they're extremely funny. I remember the Jean-Paul Goude ones particularly - he was also responsible for Grace Jones's look in the Eighties and did all her videos.
I have many heroes when it comes to style. I love Jeanne Moreau in Jules et Jim, Audrey Hepburn wearing simple leggings and ballerina flats, young Brigitte Bardot on her Vespa, Kate Moss's iconic simplicity... Growing up, though, my hero was my grandmother. Her name was Judy Campbell. She was an actress and Noel Coward's muse. She always had an 'emergency kit' to hand: a handbag containing lipstick and a bottle of Chanel No 5.
My mother and I have a typical mother-daughter relationship about clothes. I used to dress up a lot to go against her easy-going look but recently I borrowed her Yves Saint Laurent blouse. Charlotte, my sister, is obsessed with fashion. She has a more conventionally chic style than me. The next generation of my family are stylish too. My six-year-old son is my real style icon. He likes to have fun with fashion, especially wearing his dad's clothes.
When I was growing up, I had women who were quite masculine in their style, and some quite feminine men in Serge and my father, Jacques Doillon. I hate short hair on men - the 'real' man is something I don't know. My dad was always playing with hairbands, making rings, while the women were wearing jeans, white T-shirts and Converse. That was the uniform at home.
Maybe this is why I love jeans. I treasure my first pair from the Seventies: they originally belonged to my mother and have massive bell-bottoms. Jeans also feature in my first fashion memory. As a child, I used to hide under the table with my dog while my mother welcomed the bohemia from Paris for dinner. From this vantage point, I saw only the legs of the guests - all wearing jeans. It's an image that has stayed with me to this day.

That's a great quote
This is an Interview from 2001 about perfumes and scents, I'mnot sure if it has been posted before
Lou Doillon
Lou Doillon is 19 and she has just signed a 5-year contract with Givenchy. She also stars in "Nana", a made-for-TV movie, directed by Edouard Molinaro, which will come out in October.
By Michèle Dokan (05/2001)
Easy-going, modern, and between laughs and violence, the daughter of singer Jane Birkin and film director Jacques Doillon is the very image of today's young women.
What perfume do you wear ?
I like L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain a lot, but I wear guys' perfumes, I find that they are less strong. I like Cacharel for Men, Chanel for Monsieur, Kenzo for Men.
Do you always wear the same perfume ?
I often change eau de toilettes. I never wear the same perfume two days in a row, but I always stick to six or seven scents.
Starting in October, you will be Givenchy's spokesmodel. Can you tell us more about it ?
I know that the house is creating a new perfume, which I will be presenting in a year and a half. It's rather exciting as I am very much interested in their creations. I never imagined there was so much work involved.
Will you have to adopt a more sophisticated look ?
Luckily, I don't. The way I am in life, it wouldn't take long before I break the sophisticated image of the ad. Moreover, my contract gives me the freedom to play in any movie. Elizabeth Hurley isn't so lucky with Estée Lauder. Fortunately for me, fashion has taken a drastic turn for the better as people are more tolerant and they look more for "faces" than for "beauties".
What is the scent of your childhood ?
I haven't smelled it in a long time. It was the smell that came from the garden when my father mowed the lawn of our country house in Normandy. The smell of fresh grass. I believe that if today someone mowed a lawn in front of me, it would bring back a flood of old memories. It would bring back the images of Jacques (Doillon) in the garden while Mom picked cherries with me.Do you remember what perfume your mother used to wear when you were a child ?
She doesn't wear perfumes a lot and she often changes. Though I remember very well the bottles of Shalimar and L'Heure Bleue in the bathroom. I remember especially the ambiance fragrances that she sprayed in every room.
Do you also enjoy fragrances in your apartment ?
I have lots of candles and incenses at home. I prefer Japanese incenses because they have a less strong smell than Indian incenses, which I used to love. They ended up grossing me out because they are too strong. I use candles less because they are expensive. Since I let them burn all night, the next day it's all gone. I like candles made by Dyptique, they have such a vast selection. I have a passion for the jasmine-scented or honeysuckle-scented ones.
What was your first perfume ?
My first perfume was a present from Serge Gainsbourg. It was from the Nain Bleu, the famous Parisian toy store. I think I was four or five. He gave me a big trunk full of dolls, a porcelain tea-set, clothes and a perfume for my dolls and me.
Do you like smelling cologne on men ?
I love Kenzo for Men. Someone very dear to me used to wear it and I love the smell. I go crazy whenever I smell it on someone.
What smell do you hate ?
I hate the smell of warm milk. My father hates warm milk, and when I was a child, I decided that I didn't like it either. I don't like my dog's smell either. Spike is a 7-year-old English bulldog. The smell of his coat is sometimes my favorite smell when he is clean, but when he is wet, phew!

Okay so I'm sure this has been discussed in this thread before but does anyone know, for a fact, that her myspace is real??
I was accepted as her 'friend' but there doesn't seem to be anything on the site that definitively proves it's really her.
I'm actually thinking it might not be?

It should be because most of the references like films and books she cites sound like the stuff that she said she liked but most importantly because I've checked some of her myspace friends's pages and they feature personal pics of Lou so I'm guessing it's hers, or else it's a collective hoax which I doubt, oh and there's a picture of Marlowe among her pictures featuring there so it's definite proof.
