Lily Cole, born on December twenty-seventh, nineteen eighty-seven, is a multifaceted English talent known for her work as an actress, model, entrepreneur, and environmentalist. She began her modeling career as a teenager, quickly gaining recognition and being named one of the top thirty models of the two thousands by Vogue Paris in two thousand nine. At just sixteen, she graced the cover of British Vogue and was honored as 'Model of the Year' at the two thousand four British Fashion Awards, collaborating with prestigious brands such as Alexander McQueen, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton.
Transitioning into acting, Cole made her mark with her leading role as Valentina in the two thousand nine film 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.' Her filmography also includes notable works like 'Passages,' directed by Shekhar Kapur, and 'There Be Dragons,' directed by Roland Joffé. Her diverse talents extend beyond the screen, as she has also ventured into directing.
In two thousand thirteen, Cole founded impossible.com, an innovation group and incubator that evolved from a gift economy social network into a platform known as Impossible People. This initiative reflects her commitment to fostering creativity and innovation.
In two thousand twenty, she published 'Who Cares Wins,' a thought-provoking book addressing the impact of human actions on the planet and exploring responses to climate emergencies. The following year, the book was adapted into a podcast, where Cole engages with various guests to discuss critical environmental issues, ranging from technology to mental health.
