Beauty news: Estée Lauder signs Stephanie Seymour

She was hands down the rock n’ roll favourite supermodel of my youth and along with Axl Rose, one half of my favourite ‘90’s couples - and Stephanie Seymour is most definitely a legend. So I was pretty excited when last week the Estée Lauder brand announced that it has signed the legendary beauty as a spokesmodel to represent them in global advertising campaigns.

“Stephanie is the ultimate modern beauty icon,” said Jane Hertzmark Hudis, Global Brand President, Estée Lauder.  "Beautiful and accomplished in fashion, entertainment and in life, I am thrilled to welcome her to Estée Lauder.”

"I am honored to be part of the Estée Lauder family,” said Stephanie Seymour. “As a young girl my mother had a dream for me and that was to be an Estée Lauder model! So this is truly a dream fulfilled."

Born in San Diego, Stephanie has appeared on hundreds of magazine covers such as Interview, Vogue (American, British, French, Italian, German, and Spanish), Elle, GQ, V Magazine, Numèro, Harper’s Bazaar and Cosmopolitan. She has been shot by the likes of Patrick Demarchelier, Peter Lindbergh, Steven Meisel, Tom Munro, Terry Richardson, David Sims, Mario Sorrenti, MarioTestino, Juergen Teller, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin and the late, legendary Richard Avedon and is the  

longtime muse - and bod - of the influential designer, Azzedine Alaïa.

A major coup for a major brand - well done Estée Lauder, I cannot wait to see the first campaign.
