Design muse house

The campaign was shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in New York last November.

However, Katie looks surprisingly edgy in this shot and quite androgynous, wearing a Miuccia Prada graffiti-spattered day dress. I actually didn’t think it was her at first glance and shows that she can get away from her girl next door image.

When I first heard that Katie was Miu Miu’s actress of choice this season, I couldn’t help but think it was an odd pairing. Miu Miu is a young, edgy label, attracting supercool patrons such as Chloe Sevigny. To me Katie is more classic in her fashion choices and maybe more suited to representing Miu Mui’s older sister Prada?

Vogue magazine has released pictures of Katie Holmes appearing in Miu Miu’s spring/summer 2009 campaign. Katie joins the ranks of Lindsay Lohan and Kristen Dunst, who have also represented the fashion house.

Katie really has shed her Joey Potter/girl next door image. She does make the odd fashion mistake now and then (remember the God awful white jumpsuit and black lace ensemble of her own creation?) but she is trying new things and having fun trying different looks. I just wish someone would pay me to play dress up.

The photos have a quite dramatic feel to them, though I’m not too sure about the picture where she is putting her hand into a roaring flame. I don’t really understand the concept there but someone obviously thought it was quite arty.

Miu Miu has released some additional Katie Holmes photos - in addition to those in our previous article: Katie Holmes for Miu Miu - for their Spring/Summer 2009 campaign. Again Katie is doing her best Victoria Beckham impression and she looks great for it.
