On the street, she met Benjamin Hart - a mannequin and a movie actor. The young man was struck by the enchanting and slightly "alien" appearance of a teenage girl. It was he who suggested Cole to try his hand at modeling business. The idea seemed to Lily a little crazy. However, in the end, the beauty agreed.

Then it becomes an integral part of the shows of Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Shiatzy Chen, John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Jasper Conran, DKNY and other fashion houses.
