A St. John spokesperson cleared rumors that that Angelina Jolie is out as the face of the clothing conglomerate: “She appears in the current St John’s campaign and she will appear in the upcoming Spring campaign as well.”

The new St John ads, out this month, portray a rather more conservative Angelina Jolie, now 32, but they do live up to the qualities of a St John woman. Way back in the spring of 2005, when the actress was hired as the new face for the conservative suit-maker St. John Knits, the company’s chief executive officer, Richard Cohen, had praised Jolie, “Angelina Jolie embodies so many qualities of what St. John represents. She is strong, independent and dynamic. She’s a mother, actress and a philanthropist.”

“I am a working mother who has set goals to accomplish a lot in this world. I want my wardrobe to be beautiful, sexy and comfortable — all at the same time. St. John is all of those things,” said Angelina Jolie. “St. John has always been worn by strong and independent women who truly appreciate the quality that St. John offers. I am happy to be a part of that tradition and more importantly part of taking that tradition into the future.”
