The 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover Girl Irina Shayk will star in a multi-media marketing campaign for top apparel, clothing and accessories brand Rampage.
This will be the Russian supermodel’s first season as the face of the contemporary brand.
The new campaign will debut during New York Fashion Week in Fashion Week Daily and in fall issues of fashion, entertainment and lifestyle glossies such as Cosmopolitan and People StyleWatch.
“I was very excited to shoot this campaign because such iconic supermodels have worked with Rampage before me such as Bar Refaeli and Gisele Bundchen,” said the ravishing 24-year-old.
“Rampage’s fall collection is beautiful and sexy – it has everything you need to transition your outfit from day to night.”
The Rampage campaign was shot in New York City by famed fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon. Shayk poses glamorously in Rampage intimates, clothing and accessories.

Sofia Vergara, the star of Modern Family, has teamed up with Kmart to offer something new to the modern woman – a brand new fashion line featuring clothing, footwear and jewelry.
The line will include daring miniskirts, jeggings, tight dresses and sultry tunics, obviously targeting the younger consumer, but will it affect Kmart’s position in any way?
The 38-year-old celebrity said the collection “doesn’t cross the line.”
“You have to realize that it’s me wearing it. You’ve just seen it on me,” Vergara clarified. “All the pieces are very wearable. And we have them in all sizes.”
The line is “comfortable, chic and affordable, and appealing to younger women looking for something a little more spicy”, according to Vergara.
In an interview with Women’s Wear Daily, Vergara explained that designing was “kind of natural” for her, adding that she had always been interested in clothes, makeup and beauty.
“I always dressed up. I wasn’t laid-back about it. I’m not lounging around in sweat clothes and flip-flops. Maybe a nice pair of sweats,” she added.
The word is that Vergara has signed a long-term contract but officials have not specified the terms. The contemporary line Sofia Vergara for Kmart is expected to hit retailers this Fall.

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:

Tennis celebrity Maria Sharapova has unveiled her Maria Sharapova by Cole Haan collection of handbags and footwear at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
The triple Grand Slam winner (Wimbledon 2004, US Open 2006 & Australian Open 2008) apparently came up with her own fashion designs while she was recouping from a shoulder injury and skipped the tennis route for a while.
Sharapova’s collaboration with fashion brand Cole Haan, which was announced last year, began with sketches, mood boards, and inspirations from the tennis star. Maria infused aspects of her playful personality into every detail of the line from the polished buckles of the shoes, to the leather wrapped chain straps of the handbags.
The Maria Sharapova by Cole Haan footwear collection, featuring Nike Air technology, includes a ballet flat, an ankle-wrapped stiletto, a flat over-the-knee boot, an ankle bootie and a strappy platform sandal. Prices start at $138, going up to $328.
The handbag collection includes a small frame clutch, a lambskin hobo, and Maria’s signature chain-link satchel in a range of eye-catching colors. Each silhouette is characterized by an oversized pleating detail, creating a luxe, yet casual feel. Prices range from $248 for a convertible clutch to $428 for a lambskin hobo.
The tennis star-cum-fashion designer, who’s 6-foot-2 tall, and yet loves wearing stiletto, said:
“It’s my hope that other young women will embrace the spirit of the collection; it’s fun, chic, fashionable and most importantly, able to take you from day to night.”
“Everyone loves Maria. It’s great to be working with her and adding a new dimension to Cole Haan’s history,” said Jim Seuss, CEO of Cole Haan, a subsidiary of Nike.
Seeded 29 at the US Open 2009, Sharapova will be playing unseeded Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria, on the first round at Flushing Meadows next week.
