Angelina Jolie for Louis Vuitton

Angelina Jolie is the latest celebrity to pose for Louis Vuitton’s popular “Core Values” campaign.

''The campaign is expected to run for at least 18 months alongside a few other recent “core values” personalities, including Bono and Sean Connery. Vuitton introduced the advertising concept in 2007 as a way to trumpet its travel roots and showcase its perennial monogrammed leather goods as a balance to its fashion-driven marketing — and to reach a broader audience. Other personalities who have posed for Vuitton include Mikhail Gorbachev, Keith Richards and Catherine Deneuve.'' writes Miles Socha for WWD.com.

Who is Joan Smalls?





There I was, paging through the latest issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine and discovered this BEAUTY. I didn't know anything about Joan Smalls until yesterday, and I may have seen her in fashion shows but didn't really pay much attention to her. Don't ask me why ! So I decided to do a little background check on her.

Joan is the 2011 spokes model for the skincare and cosmetics lineup of Estee Lauder. The global advertising campaigns for the skincare and cosmetics major featuring Smalls will start appearing in the media in May 2011, as it has been reported. She became the third model to be signed by Estee Lauder this year, after Liu Wen and Constance Jablonski (pictured below) were picked up earlier this year.

This pretty young lady has worked with the top fashion designers like Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton and also had her brushes with brands like Gucci and Prada. She became noticed in the global fashion scene after appearing in the Givenchy fall/winter 2010 Couture show of Ricardo Tisci.  She has also done photography sessions for the coveted Vogue Magazine.
