Although
Riley Keough has musical blood running through her veins, Elvis'
granddaughter no plans to record an album. Today 17 year old
Riley Keough model for Dolce Gabbana, Christian Dior fashion designers
dictated to the 50’s. Dior pioneered license agreements in the
fashion business. In 1953, Dior hired Yves Saint-Laurent to become head designer after Dior’s untimely death in 1957.
Dior’s
famous fragrances for women include Dune - Dolce Vita - Diorella - Eau
Fraiche - Poison and Miss Dior Cherie. Dior’s offerings go
far beyond this with ready to wear fashions, leather goods, shoes,
accessories and fine jewelry

Riley
has been modeling since she was 12
Now works for Christian Dior

As
Elvis Presley’s granddaughter, Riley Keough’s life was
never going to be ordinary. Add to that the modeling career
that began when she was 12 with Dolce Gabbana Fashion and a
mere three years later has resulted in major Christian Dior
fashion and perfume campaigns, and Keough’s life seems
like one few of us could even imagine. But that’s not the
way the 15yearold Riley tells it.. she spends more time
studying, hanging out with her friends and living the life
of an average teenager. Her everyday life, Riley says reads
exactly the same way as all her friends with none of the
trappings of glamorous extravagance. No elaborate beauty
regime ("I like beauty treatments like most girls, but
I'm not a slave to them"), no personal shopper
("no way! I love going shopping by myself, and with my
friends"), no strict diet ("I try to eat healthy
... but I still love ice cream!") and no escape from
schoolwork ("I get assigned work and keep up with my
studies during shootings")
Danielle is her first
name and Riley is her middle name, by which her family and
friends call her. And despite her privileged status as the
granddaughter of one of the most recognisable faces in the
world – she is Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter with her
first husband Danny Keough. Riley seems genuinely humbled
by the good fortune that has landed her the beginnings of a
successful career in one of the most cutthroat industries
in the world before she has even left school. She
says she has no idea why Dior chose her for their
jacket or perfume campaigns, adding that working with
creative John Galliano has been inspirational, exciting,
and totally unexpected. "I could never have
imagined this, I was so shocked when I got the original
phone call,” Riley gushes, adding that she knows how
lucky she is “to get this chance to work with Dior
and experience all these great things."
