Lily is very creative, talkative and full of energy. She spends a lot of time drawing and has been making little books for herself since she was 3. Like mother, like daughter, she is a party animal and will easily stay up until dawn if we have friends around on holidays. Elodie Kong, her mother, a Senior Lawyer for an int’l fashion group in Paris and Barcelona, is the co-founder of concept store BODIE and FOU. She adds : “Lily loves drawing, creating, painting, cutting etc…When it comes to her art, she is a perfectionist and she will get frustrated, throwing sheets of paper one after another on the floor, if she doesnt manage to draw what it’s in her mind. She is also very protective of her creations. Once my husband, who is a graphic designer (www.wix.com), and her started a painting together one Sunday afternoon. When Lily went to bed, Christophe carried on working on their painting. In the morning, she got really upset when she saw her dad had started drawing on her collages…It is a very sensitive subject and we hide the painting now to avoid further tears. She is also known by everyone at school or in the area and she never remembers anybody’s names!
