Stunning catwalker Lily Cole is to be the new face of British retailer Marks & Spencer’s new high-end Limited Collection, which goes on sale from January.
The flame haired 19-year-old will publicize the women’s clothing range alongside other high profile M&S ladies such as Erin O’Connor, Twiggy, Myleene Klass, and Noemie Lenoir. “Her striking beauty goes without saying and her commitment to environmental issues makes for a great partnership with M&S,” said chain’s chief executive Stuart Rose.
The new M&S womenswear range showcases Techno Craft designs with deep colours and tribal prints, ankle-length maxi suits, fitted macs and tailored casualwear. Also, something new to M&S is the prettier high waisted silver denim, skinny jeans, wide-legged jeans and short shorts.
Lily was discovered at 14 by a fashion scout and signed on with Storm Models – the same agency known for having supermodel Kate Moss on its books. Lily got her big break two years later when she appeared as the youngest UK model on British Vogue. Her net worth now rumoured to be around $22.7 million.
Lily Cole joined a degree course at Cambridge University in October and is said to be going easy on her modelling gigs.
The teenage sensation is famous in the fashion circuits of Milan, Paris and New York, where she has modeled for some of the biggest names in fashion. She is also known for being a patron of the Trees for Cities charity and she recently wrote the foreword for Tamsin Blanchard’s book ‘Green Is The New Black’, a book about ethical shopping.

The typical T-shirt originated nearly a century ago and is well on its way to becoming the most enduring casual apparel of time as well as a way to make a statement. Whether it’s a rock concert, a peace march or even a major corporate event, you’ll surely find a T-shirt to commemorate the event. The winter doesn’t keep the T-shirt away either; we simply cover the tee with a sweat or a thermal. Whether you’re a celebrity or an ordinary mortal like me, the T-shirt has become a part of our lifestyle.
The phenomenal growth in popularity of the T-shirt culture has fuelled the launch of online wholesale companies–and wholesaledirectusa.com is one such that offers a range to suit any taste, style or size. It offers wholesale shirts at factory direct prices, whether it be Hood Urban, Saad Urban, sweatshirts, polo shirts, fleece jackets or ladies tees, Baby Doll Junior Miss, night/beach shirts or kids shirts. While the sizes range from small and X-large to 8x, the wide array of colors available are appropriate for any mood or preferences.
A quick look at their Price and Inventory Chart reveals the competitiveness of the company. The wholesale prices start at $18 per dozen for the SAAD T-Shirts (White Small) and the highest rate is for the HOOD/SAAD/NY T-Shirts (Long Sleeve 2XL-6XL), at $38 per dozen. Order 20+ dozens (or 3+ cases) or 40+ dozens (or 6+ cases), and you stand to advantage of the special rates. Sizing measurement charts are also provided on the site for the various brands.
Wholesaledirectusa.com has an extremely user friendly interface for search. For instance, if you know what type/brand of shirt you want, but not sure about what sizes are available or the color, just click on your choice in the section ‘Search by Type’, and you’ll be presented with a page featuring images of the shirts available in different colors, weights as well as prices by the dozen. You can also search size and color. There’s also a facility for ‘Search by Recommended’, from where you can view various types/designs of shirts in all available sizes and colors.
While WholesaleDirectUSA has successfully launcheding Saad and Hood USA Hip Hop T-shirts on the Internet, you can soon expect to see top brands like Galaxy and Harlem T-Shirts at low bulk wholesale prices. WholesaleDirectUSA claims that its own brand ‘Hood USA’ thick and heavy T-shirts satisfy a niche market and have been received very well by the consumer who doen’t wish to shell out top dollars for famous labels.
WholesaleDirectUSA is a sister company of SuperiorRugs.com, SuperiorImporters.com, Compu-soft.com, and MaximumDecor.com.
