I'm passionate about sustainability: Lily Cole

How's your beauty regime like?
Always simple. Good sleep is the key.
I use Revlon cleanser. I used to use a lot of products before but now I only use a few which my skin likes.

What's your diet like?
I am a vegetarian. Very occasionally I eat fish but otherwise I am a vegetarian.

Tell us about your work out regime.
I don't work out as regularly as I should. I do work out and do essentrics. I really like that a a lot.

Fav designers
McQueen is my all time favourite in terms of how artistic his work is. On a day today basis, I like Chloe and Miu Miu. I like a lot of Japanese designers. I like it when it's very simple but well made.

You've been leading the way for deforestation. Tell us about your work.
I am more interested in the role business can play in social and environmental issues. I have my own company and I spend most of my time working on that. I try to create a community through free trade- people giving sales, services and objects for free. There are two things - the environmental impact by reusing things and the social impact by building more relationships and creating a community. I am doing a project with WWF in the Amazon on rubber trade. We create product with plantation with rubber and push against deforestation. That's one of the reasons I am here. Franca Sozzani is the leading figure on these topics – sustainability and supply chain awareness and that's something I am passionate about.
