TODAY I’ve been working in Soho in London. I’m working with a French actress, singer, model and now designer, Lou Doillon, the daughter of Jane Birkin who has just designed a range of clothing for Lee Cooper.
The collection is very, very cool, with little uniform inspired jackets and high waisted, wide legged trousers.
Her look is quite quirky, but with a heavy French influence. She has tousled hair and doesn’t wear made-up type make-up I find out on investigation. A hair dresser isn’t present and she tells me she likes one or the other. If she has make-up, she likes unkempt hair, and if she does styled hair she likes not much make-up.
Her face is very pretty and structured. I started applying a little Face and Body foundation and a little Select Moisture Cover concealer in places. She’s already told me that she likes a little black line above the top lashes that looks quite worn in, so I opt for MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack.
I take a little brush and smudge in this line so it looks like kohl pencil. I then curl her dark lashes with the MAC eye lash curler to open up the eyes and apply a couple of coats of Coal Black Pro Lash mascara which gives great volume and is matt, so it is great for a more worn in make- up look.
For a little bit of contour through the socket and under the eye I’ve used a matt eyeshadow in Brown Down on top of a base colour I’ve mixed using Bare Canvas and Architecture MAC eye paint. The paints are legendary for staying put. Perfect for partying.
On the cheeks I apply a little MAC Cream Colour base in Premeditated to give a natural soft flush of red to the cheek. She loves this for the lips too, so I apply a little with my finger and push it into the skin so that it looks like a reddened, stained lip and not a lipsticked mouth.
I must mention here that this is not a lip product and hasn’t been tested for this area, which she is aware of, so it’s not something I’m going to recommend to you! She loves that matt, worn in red mouth. And that is it! Easy! All I have to do now is keep an eye on shine and use my MAC Loose Blot powder.
 
i love her La Redoute line! its so much better than Kate Moss' Topshop line! :rofl:

From "Sonntags Zeitung" - Zurich
„I’m just not into Cowboys“
Lou Doillon, privileged Bohemian – wild child, presents her first collection for Lee Cooper

On Thursday night, the first collection of Lou Doillon, for the Denim label Lee Cooper, was launched at the <<Londoner Club>> [MAYA].
The manufacturer, that has lost his coolness over the last decades, wants to revive its gloss times from the seventies.
The marketing team chose a simple strategy:
Replace the Muse of that era – Jane Birkin – with her daughter, the young and wild Lou Doillon.
And invite the press for an interview with the actress, musician, fashion icon and daughter of two famous parents.
The “French Kate Moss” speaks nearly perfectly English, thanks to her British grandmother, and starts a charming, almost not to be stopped, torrent of words.

To lend your name and face to a self designed collection, being only 25, needs a lot of courage. Where do you get your Self-assurance from?
LD: I am the daughter of an extremely famous mother and I was born at a time where she had just left her extremely famous husband (Serge Gainsbourg), a man, whom the French admired much.
When my mother met my father Jacques and the general public got to know about their relationship, they were all of a sudden hated by the whole country. My mother was even spat on, on the streets, after Serge complained about his great love leaving him for a horrible man, on TV.
What were the consequences?
LD: The whole land suffered with Serge, and as a consequence of that my parents hid me for a long time of my childhood. I had to be pretty though from the beginning because I felt this rejection – I was practically the child of Judas.
Furthermore, almost everyone in my family was famous: my mother, my father, Serge, my sister (actress Charlotte Gainsbourg), my uncle, my grandmother … I, literally, had to put on a top hat and wear strange clothes so that people would perceive me with all those stars around.
It is said that you have been a problematic teenager?
LD: I have been angry for a long time and I’ve been rebelling. Piercings, tattoos, embarrassing appearances on live TV shows, the whole range.
My parents prophesied to me that I would get pregnant with 14, but I had my son Marlowe-Tigger only with 19!
Anyways, they’ve been very patient with me and were very affectionately. Considering what I had done, they were incredibly nice to me.

Some weeks ago, the first Lee Cooper store in Zurich was launched. A lot of people were surprised, since the label doesn’t have the coolest image. Did you have, prior to working with them, an image of Lee Cooper as, well, an uncool Jeans label?
LD: I love stylish clothes and I love to go shopping, but I don’t care about brands.
When they approached me, I have dealt with the history of the brand and was pleased to read that they had worked with cool people and done great videos in the 60s and 70s – including my mom and Serge.
A lot of Denim brands, today, try to be cool, but Lee Cooper has a past which testifies from creativity and the courage to take risks.
This and the fact that it is a European company and that the collection is produced in France persuaded me. I’m just not into Cowboys.

The next interview is waiting. Lou puts on her top hat and says goodbye by dropping a cuts that, in a strange way, reminds me of Ron Wood.
The enthusiasm with which Lou Doillon talks about her latest project is infectious. And the firmness with which she believes in the success of her collection confirms the image of a privileged Bohemian – wild child that does what she wants and is, how else should it be, very good at it.
