January Jones is `perfect` Versace model
Donatella Versace says January Jones is the "perfect" woman for Versace.
The `Mad Men` actress was recently named as the new face of the Italian fashion house and designer Donatella is a huge fan as she thinks she represents females of the 21st century.
She said: "I am always on the lookout for the next Versace blonde.and in January I feel I have found a perfect Versace woman for the 21st century. She is chic and elegant but deeply sensual too."
January - who is known for her curvy figure - will appear in new spring-summer 2011 ad campaign wearing nothing more than the brand`s accessories, bags, shoes, sunglasses and optical frames, in shots taken by legendary photographer Mario Testino.
As well as being signed for Versace, January has become a huge hit in the fashion world since taking on the role of Betty Draper in `Mad Men` and recently spoke out about how proud she is to be involved in a show that celebrates curvy women.
She said: "I think what`s great about the show is that, just in terms of fashion, it has helped bring a certain silhouette back. That womanly, cinched waist... I mean, a year before `Mad Men` came out, everything was very boxy and sort of shapeless.
"Now, as much as I hate getting into my girdle every day for the show, it`s brought that beautiful line back. You think of a lady when you see it. It`s kind of refreshing. You don`t have to give up your femininity to be a powerful woman."
