Lily ColeLily ColeBack in the summer of 2006, model Lily Cole decided to concentrate on uni...

And abandoned the catwalk for her studies.

Great, we thought.

A sensible girl, who knows the value of getting a good degree.

We praised the model for sticking to her educational plans and heading to Cambridge to study politics and English no less.

You see, you can have it all, brains as well as beauty.

A real rarity.

And as the September fashion shows came to an end, we thought that was the last we'd see of Lil for a while.

But, it looks like we were wrong...

Or maybe Lil told a fib.

Because as the February batch of fashion shows got underway, there was a very familiar face on the runway.

Looks like Lily didn't take a very long break after all.

Check out her (many) catwalk appearances over the last six months in the gallery above.
