CARA DELEVINGNE is the new face of Pepe
Jeans, following in the footsteps of Alexa
Chung, Sienna Miller and Laetitia
Casta. The Vogue cover girl currently fronts the
brand's spring/summer 2013 campaign, alongside fellow British models Mia Goth
and Jeremy Young.
"I'm very happy to
be part of the team, considering the line-up before me," Delevingne told
us. "Alexa and Sienna are also great friends of mine."
The imagery - which
marks Pepe's 40th anniversary - was photographed by Josh
Olins in London's Notting Hill, where the label was first born, having
originated as a Portobello Road market stall. The campaign is yet another
achievement for Delevingne whose CV already boasts names such as DKNY
and Chanel Resort. Widely regarded as Britain's model-of-the-moment, the 20
year old refuses to let the pressure worry her.
"I have a great
support network - my family, my model agency Storm and people I work with in
the fashion industry," she said. "And, of course, there are all my
followers on Twitter who stop me from feeling lonely, I love them all. They
keep me grounded."
And her advice for
aspiring models?
"Don't let people
knock you down," she said. "Keep grounded and be happy, find yourself
a great agent and have a good relationship with them."
