Lilly Dillon is the alter-go of Rie Rasmussen, the young filmaker better known to the modeling industry as the former face of Gucci, Donna Karan and Fendi as well as the catwalker who’s span ranged from Prada to VS. With a debut feature film, “Human Zoo“  that opened the Panorama section of last Berlin Film Festival set to open this Fall in Europe, Rie also has a monograph of drawings, sketches paintings and photographs out titled “Grafiske Historier“.  As a pure and uncompromised expression of her way of seeing the world, the book is a fantastic statement of independence and intent. Right there on the inside cover is the legend “Absolutely no digital photography, No manipulation, Airbrusing or cosmetic retouching”. Beyond that lies Rie’s joyous celebration of the female form, her catalog of her restless world travel and the documenattion of her growing career in film both in front of and behind the camera. Working in the modeling industry requires the ability to make your peace with superficiality but to witness the passion and dedication invested by Ms Rasmussen reminds that the creative spirit in fashion is ultimately, irrepressible.
