Lily Donaldson Biography

Name : Lily Donaldson
Date of Birth : January 27, 1987
Birth Place : London, England
Occupation : Model

Born in London, England, on January 27, 1987, Lily may have been destined to become a model from the outset -- her father, Matthew, is a professional photographer. Lily grew up in London always posing for the camera, and though she never really planned on being a model, her upbringing jolted her eventual career.

Lily’s modeling career began unexpectedly when she was 13. While shopping with her parents in Camden Town, England, scouts from Select Model Agency immediately noticed her beauty and signed her to a contract.

Donaldson was born in London, and educated at the Camden School for Girls, living in Kentish Town with her parents. Since being scouted by Select Model Management in 2003 at the age of 16 while shopping in Camden, Donaldson has landed campaigns for fashion houses such as Dior, Jil Sander, and Dolce & Gabbana and is the face of British luxury goods house Burberry.

In the May 2007 issue of American Vogue, she was featured on the cover with fellow models Doutzen Kroes, Caroline Trentini, Raquel Zimmermann, Sasha Pivovarova, Agyness Deyn, Coco Rocha, Hilary Rhoda, Chanel Iman, and Jessica Stam as the “World’s Next Top Models.” Later, in the September 2007 issue of British Vogue, she was named a "Head Girl", a model to watch out for in the upcoming season.
