The 18-year-old model - who starred in first campaign for the fashion house in 2015 - has admitted she has been adorning the designer brand's garments ever since she was a baby, and the "first memory" she has of her wearing the label is when she used play dress up with her mother Vanessa Paridis' expensive clothes.

Speaking to WWD, the style icon - who is also the daughter of actor Johnny Depp - said: "My first memory of wearing Chanel was probably when I was still in diapers, going into my mom's closet and picking out her Chanel heels and her dresses and stuff, even though I was swimming in them.

"I would put on all her Chanel stuff and carry around her bags and everything, so it was probably my first dress up memory as well."

And it is not only the prestigious label that has been in Lily's life for many years, but the brand's creative director Karl Lagerfeld, as she has revealed the mogul was always present during her childhood.

Speaking about the 84-year-old creative mastermind, she said: "I've known [Karl] since I was eight - he's definitely somebody who has been in my life since I was little. I definitely have a lot of Chanel memories growing up."

And Lily has hailed Karl for his innovative designs.

She said: "The amount of stuff that he comes up with...the amount of creativity in his head, that he creates each year and has created over his entire life, the different ideas he has had. He's really somebody who has managed to evolve but never stray from this level of artistry and precision. But at the same thing he's never done the same thing twice."

Lily has admitted she is always "blown away" by the designer garments, especially hate couture products.

She explained: "I was at the atelier with my mom -- she was having a fitting or something -- and she went up to say hi and I was with her," she said, before adding praise for the designer.

"I'm always blown away by all of it. Especially haute couture -- I'm always just so amazed by it and the gowns are always incredible," she said. "But all of it is a different aspect of the look. I love a bag, I love jewellery. Chanel clothing and haute couture can never let you down."
