'Kowgirl' Karlie Kloss strips off for sexy new Wild West-inspired Tamara Mellon campaign
- Tamara Mellon sold her share in luxury label Jimmy Choo in 2011
- Has now unveiled her own collection, which ranges from £325 - £1,595
- Includes the £1,595 'Sweet Revenge' leather legging boot
- Her memoir, In Her Shoes, is republished in paperback on Thursday
- Called on Karlie to be her poster girl
When she was at the helm of Jimmy Choo, Tamara Mellon proved she knew exactly what women wanted and her creations became a hit with A-listers, including Victoria Beckham and Princess Diana.
After leaving the luxury label that she founded and managed between 1996 and 2011 - she sold her shares for £82.5 million - Ms Mellon has unveiled her very own collection of totes, ready-to-wear and, of course, shoes.
As she launches her e-commerce site, Tamara has called on supermodel Karlie Kloss to showcase her new designs.
It's cowgirl Karlie! Miss Kloss is Tamara Mellon's new poster girl and shows off her svelte physique in the new campaign imagery
The 21-year-old Victoria's Secret model takes on the role of cowboy Karlie, modelling the brand's signature fringing and leather goods to perfection.
In one shot, the American model poses with just ropes and a cowboy hat concealing her modesty and in another, she wears a revealing lace skirt.
Yee-ha! Karlie plays a sexy cowgirl in the new campaign imagery as she showcases the best of Mellon's leather offerings
Toned: Karlie, who showcases her enviable physique in the photoshoot, says when she is traveling, she brings 'two or three-pound ankle weights and resistance bands' with her, so she can work out in her hotel room
Want to get Karlie's look? The supermodel, who admitted that she has so many beauty products, a bathroom isn't enough to contain them, has shared the secrets behind her glow.
The young star, who appears in the July issue of ELLE, revealed: 'I have a whole second bedroom filled with products, but I stick to the things that work.'
She adds: 'I like products that streamline my morning routine. Sunday Riley has a really good foundation; it’s very velvety. I love RMS “Un” Cover-Up for under eyes or on a blemish.'
She also credits Living Proof shampoo and conditioner, for making her hair 'bounce in a different way,' and mentions that Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer is also 'good.'
And as for her body, the statuesque six-foot-one model told the fashion magazine that when she is travelling, she brings 'two or three-pound ankle weights and resistance bands' along with her, and favors the privacy of her hotel room over the gym.
'Sometimes I get a better workout staying in my room and forcing myself to do half an hour or even 15 minutes versus going to the gym, she says. 'Before I leave for work, I try to do something. It helps me feel better for the rest of the day.'
Miss Kloss also mentions her Nike Training Club app - which features workouts for women - as helpful in keeping her active.
Debut shoe: Tamara Mellon, who left Jimmy Choo in 2011, has unveiled her £1,595 leather legging boots - appropriately named Sweet Revenge
Mellon's new collection has been causing quite the stir, particularly her £1,595 leather legging boots, which have been worn by Kim Kardashian.The range also includes a £725 leather tote, £550 stretch-wool piqué straight-leg pants and £830 fringed wrap-effect leather skirt.
And her designs are winning over the fashion world: she's set to open her online shop in Britain and she's planning on opening outlets in London and New York next year before expanding into Europe and the Middle East - Cheryl Cole even wore a pair of her snakeskin metallic blue sandals at the X Factor auditions in Manchester.
Today, armed with a wealth of business experience, she has finally unveiled her own namesake label - and Tamara says she’s the happiest she has ever been, and credits much of it to her daughter Araminta, 12.
Despite not even reaching her teenage years yet, Araminta - known more fondly as 'Minty' - is wasting no time learning the ropes so that she can one day follow in her mother’s own fabulous footsteps.
Of course she's wearing them! Kim Kardashian, who has a penchant for leather, has been spotted wearing the quirky design
