Whoa !!! Thank you so much.I wish I could karma you. I love her last outfit with the white paper crown.I'm surprised about the launching of the La Redoute collection , it was supposed to be launched in September last I heard.I'm not sure I like the strapless orange/yellow dress but it suits her.

Yay Luca*!

Lou looks incredible, and I too think she looks adorable in the paper crown

I'm not v keen on this La Redoute business. Sometimes it feels as though Lou is wh*ring herself about with Mango and now this. Every Tom, Dick and Harry seems to do a collaboration with a high street brands. It's so boring.....I hoped Lou would be more elusive and aloof, keep a bit of mystery going...

I don't think, I agree with you on that. All she did for Mango was the catalogue ads. She's been modeling before, so that's nothing new.

And as for La Redoute, .. well, I'm usually the first person to condemn celebs "designing" for high street brands, but that's because most of them just lend their name to designs that others created.

But as Lou said in an interview :
"What are you working on now?
A painting and rehearsing a play for March, and drawing a little fashion line for the French brand La Redoute."
(we have that in post #947)
She did the actual designs and that is something completely else.
She's not just giving her name, like let's say Madonna or Kylie Minogue for H&M, but creates herself and shows the talent she has on that departement.
And I think that's okay.

I agree with Luca there.She just posed for Mango (I sort of saw it coming, you know, just the way Irina Lazareanu modeled for Kate Moss's Topshop collection).As for the 'La Redoute' collection, well it doesn't really surprise me considering her interest in fashion, and the fact that she's known for creating and customizing her own clothes, besides it's not like she's working for a very worldly commercial brand like H&M, Topshop and the likes, it's a lot more low-key, I find it humble that she worked on a limited collection rather than just using her 'celebrity' to associate her name with a clothing line, a perfume , Pepsi or God knows what else and create her own little empire. I've always found that Lou seemed a lot more humble and tentative than people picture her, she seems to be a creative person, she sings but as she said it herself , she finds it abject that just because she can sing and is rather famous any music production house would sign a contract with her for an album (and mind you, even for her myspace page as a singer it's not like she made a lot of publicity about it).Besides, she worked with La Redoute before, granted just as an inspiration and model but I somehow imagined that she was to work as designer for a brand it would be with them.I get the point about the fact that it's not because she's little talented and has a certain interest in something that she deserves to get a chance that unknown professionals wouldn't get , but somehow I find it just fine that she wants to test herself commercially in something she has done for a long time but only for herself, it's not as if she's trying to steal money from other people because she just became a brand name.

I don't think highly of her as an actress to be frank, but one thing I respect about Lou is her integrity.She became more so famous and an it-girl at an early age but then quickly she was 'over' she wouldn't appear in films but she found other projects to work on anyway, even recently I appreciated the fact that she dedicated her time to work on non commercial artistic projects, like the play/music piece she worked on earlier this year about the Holocaust in Clermont Ferrand, paintings,readings and such.

jesus, sorry, it seems like I wrote an essay.

from WWD

ME, JANE: It was like a family reunion for the Birkin clan Wednesday night at a cocktail to fete a collaboration between La Redoute, Jane Birkin and two of her offspring, Lou Doillon and Kate Barry. Doillon, in a sunflower yellow Alberta Ferretti dress, had to scoot off early to read love letters at the Theatre de la Madeleine. "We'll soon be taking the gig on tour around Europe and hopefully the United States," said Doillon, just back from Cannes, where she'd "enjoyed swimming at 6 a.m." and a whole load of movie stuff. "It's been a nonstop year for all of us," sighed Birkin, also just back from Cannes, where she'd premiered her first directing effort, "Boxes," loosely based on her family history.

who says French women never exercise?
