She started at 14

Lila booked her first modelling gig at 14 – the exact same age that her mum was scouted by Storm Management founder Sarah Doukas – as the face of The Braid Bar, a hair salon based in Selfridges, London. A stream of opportunities followed: she fronted a Marc Jacobs Beauty campaign in 2018, at 16, shot a solo cover for Dazed magazine in the same year, and starred in Miu Miu’s spring/summer 2020 campaign. She would also make her runway debut with Miu Miu, walking for the label at the closing of Paris Fashion Week.

She has high-profile connections

Lila has coveted fashion connections too, having been invited to Marc Jacobs and Char DeFrancesco’s wedding along with her mum. She was also spotted sitting in the front row and mingling with Kendall Jenner at the Longchamp spring/summer 2020 show.

Creativity runs in her genes

Lila’s dad, Jefferson Hack, is a respected publishing mogul. Having inherited her dad’s creativity and her mum’s kinaesthetic abilities, it’s no surprise that modelling came naturally for Lila.

She is fully supported by her mum

In a video produced by Vogue UK, when asked what it was like seeing her daughter for the first time on the runway, Kate said she got emotional and was nervous for Lila: “I was sitting around the kitchen table. When she came out, we were like, ‘She’s doing it!’ I was really proud.”
