MIU MIU has officially confirmed Vanessa Paradis as its new face for autumn/winter 2008-9, with the release of a campaign image portraying her as "yet another interpretation of the Miu Miu woman".
Shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot in LA, the singer embodies the "powerful independence" of Miuccia Prada's sport-centric collection in a surrealist and kaleidoscopic series of images - which sit in stark contrast to the dark theatricality of Kirsten Dunst in her starring role in the house's spring/summer 2008 campaign.
"The impact and drama of the images continue the enduring dialogue of Mrs Prada, a conversation concerning the subject of womanhood in our times," a Miu Miu representative explains. "At once a deconstruction and a pure visual composition, the campaign addresses the exploration of beauty in conjunction with intellect, imagination, and divergence."
