Lily Allen: "Modeling Is Intimidating But Fun"

For a petite woman like Lily Allen who only stands 5'2" tall, an offer to do modeling job for no less than Karl Lagerfeld is undeniably intimidating:


"I am quite unnatural in front of the camera, especially when you are working with fashion photographers just because the nature of the people they are used to working with is very different from me. So I always feel a little self conscious, because I am 5ft 2 and size 12. It can be a little bit intimidating, but fun on some levels."

Despite a height that is considered too short in modeling, Lily Allen is a fashion-favorite. Not to mention her "special relationship" with Chanel (including borrowing clothes and jewelery and being invited to sit in the front row of Chanel shows), the British singer-songwriter has also won various fashion awards including the 2008 Glamour Woman of the Year. She was also named as the ninth best style role model in a readers poll for a British style magazine.

Lily Allen is recently named as the new face of Chanel accessories. She will star in ad campaign photographed by Karl Lagerfeld himself.

Way to go, shorty!
