Hollywood celebrity Angelina Jolie, the ex-spokesperson for St. John, allegedly “overshadowed” the brand, resulting in the company signing up British model Karen Elson as its new face.
St. John chief executive Glenn McMahon told WWD she “overshadowed the brand. We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette.”
“We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John. We are evolving the brand,” McMahon said in another statement.
St. John this week launched a new spring 2010 print advertising campaign featuring Elson, 30, a redhead who is married to White Stripes singer Jack White.

Dutch supermodel Lara Stone is luxury leather goods and fashion brand Louis Vuitton’s new face for its Spring 2010 range.
The supermodel is throwing a super seductive pose amid doves, a patch of grass (isn’t green the color lately?) and ferns, and of course, Louis Vuitton bag and shoes on her 5′10″ body.
The August 2009 face of W magazine sports a Brigitte Bardot look, according to Antoine Arnault, Vuitton’s communication director.
“After two seasons with such a huge star, artistic director Marc Jacobs decided to take a breather and work with a model — and not just any model,” said Arnault.
“It’s the choice of a new supermodel. She clearly has a Brigitte Bardot look.” Well, Lara certainly has that sexy pout, no two thoughts about that.
With this, Stone, 25, has replaced pop celebrity Madonna as Vuitton’s spokesperson, while also following in the footsteps of celebs such as Sean Connery, Keith Richards and Mikhail Gorbachev.
The sexy shots by top Dutch photographer Desiree Dolron are set to appear in fashion glossies next month.
Check out a couple of behind-the-scenes photos of Lara Stone at the campaign photo shoot:

How many Russians does it take it represent three top fashion brands? Just one, apparently, given the fact that the beautiful Natalia Vodianova will be the face of Yves St Laurent, Givenchy and Stell McCartney.
Natalia, 27, is set to go on a roll, come Spring 2010. For one, she’s replacing supermodel Christy Turlington as the face of YSL, while also appearing in Givenchy’s ads for the next season’s campaign.
Meanwhile, she was approached by Stella McCartney, who was impressed by the Russian in a September catwalk, to represent the stylish British brand.
And all while she continues with her current assignments with Guerlain and posing for Calvin Klein underwear… quite a busy time ahead for the lovely-looking mother of two!

Appears as if the trend is towards younger celebrities — or at least the younger wannabe celebrities — representing the older, international brands… if Versace’s picking the 17-year-old daughter of Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger and supermodel Jerry Hall as its spokesperson any indication.
Perhaps the Italian fashion house has a point. Donatella Versace has said: “She’s smart, a strong personality, beautiful, full of energy… and with that natural high star quality, I adore her! She’s perfect for this collection – A real Versace girl.”
The Versace S/S 2010 women’s ad campaign, shot by photographer Mario Testino in London earlier this month, will start appearing in February, in some of the stylist and lifestyle publications worldwide.
Wondering about the ‘toothy’ look? Georgia thinks it adds ‘character’.
“A while ago on the street, a guy yelled, ‘You could stick a gold through your front teeth.’ Which meant I could put a £1 coin between them,” Georgia said.
“But you can’t, I’ve tried. Fifty pence coins and two pence coins, yes. But not a pound,” she added. Wow.
That makes me wonder if Georgia could have been a better spokesperson for Gap jeans?
