Crystal Renn for Jimmy Choo campaign

Crystal Renn is the new face of Jimmy Choo.

The stunning model - who has gone from a US size 12 to a US size 8-10 - has taken over from Amber Valletta to shoot a new campaign for the famous footwear brand's Spring/Summer 2011 collection.

The pictures for Crystal's campaign - which show the 24-year-old model posing bare legged against a bright backdrop - have been taken by renowned fashion photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

Crystal - who has appeared in advertising campaigns for the likes of Zac Posen, Dolce and Gabbana and Chanel in the past - is delighted with the amount of work she is being booked for and has previously admitted the fashion industry is becoming increasingly accepting of those who stray away from the model norm.

She said: "I'm still different from most of the girls at the castings but when I first started, the girls were all blonde, all emaciated and miserable looking.

"Now, there's more ethnic diversity. The girls are not as skinny as before. You do see size 10s and a couple size 12s. There is change happening in the industry. There is more allowance for people to be different. I'm so impressed. I can't wait for next season."
