Claudia Schiffer

Claudia Schiffer has been announced as the new face of Yves Saint Laurent.

The supermodel replaces Naomi Campbell as the face of its spring/summer 2009 collection, and follows in the footsteps of Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen.

Schiffer has already been photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, under the direction of creative director Stefano Pilati.

It's also been confirmed what the lovely lady will be wearing in the photos- a stunning full-length YSL tuxedo dress, which will no doubt be on everyone's wish list for next season.

The campaign shots will be shown on the fourth edition of the label's Manifesto, in February next year. We can't wait!
