Milla Jovovich to design Tommy Hilfiger bag
November 5th, 2009
Fifth Element actress and former model Milla Jovovich’s last designer clothing endeavour alongside fellow model Carmen Hawk may have fizzled out before it made much of an impact on the world’s major runways, but that doesn’t mean that the Ukrainian-born star hasn’t got what it takes as a worthy designer. Just ask legendary US designer Tommy Hilfiger.
Apparently the New York-based design icon has enlisted Milla to craft next season’s Tommy Hilfiger Breast Health International bag and according to WWD, the 33-year-old was only too happy to oblige.
The bag in question will not be launched until April next year, but if it’s anything like the 2009 initiative backed by supermodel Helena Christensen, I would wager it is set to be impressive.
For those of you who don’t know, sexy Victoria’s Secret star Helena, 40, was the designer behind that fabulous oversized Mimosa soft leather yellow tote that was launched in Tommy Hilfiger stores back in March.
Commenting on the cause at the time, she said: "Breast cancer affects women of all ages worldwide and I commend Breast Health International and Tommy Hilfiger for stepping up to the mark to find a cure for this disease.
"I am honoured to be chosen as an ambassador of such a worthy cause and initiative."
Her designer handbag was a major success, so here’s hoping Milla follows in her lucky footsteps!
