Just 26, Lou Doillon has done more than most people her age. The daughter of Jane Birkin (her father is film director Jacques Doillon) and half sister of the equally stylish Charlotte Gainsbourg, the young working mother (she has a six-year-old son Marlowe by ex-boyfriend and musician Thomas John Mitchell) and erstwhile model and actress is most recently trying her hand at designing clothes. Although she modelled and acted in a few films throughout her teens and early 20s, it seems that fashion is her most serious vocation yet - this month sees her inaugural collection for Lee Cooper go on sale in stores worldwide. Perhaps this is not surprising. Long admired in the fashion world for her individual style - it's not every day you find someone who claims the Artful Dodger as their fashion inspiration - the lithe Parisien It girl is friends with the likes of Milla Jovovich, and can ensure the attendance of the Olsen twins and Mischa Barton at an event.
