Claire Danes Joins Gucci

According to FemaleFirst, Claire Danes will be the new face of the jewellery collection from Gucci.  Danes will be replacing Drew Barrymore in the advertising campaign, which will be launched next fall.

Gucci’s Frida Gianni said, "Claire Danes is a modern icon. For me she is one of the most interesting young actresses on the international scene. She is very natural, fresh and has a carefree attitude that is reflected in the roles she has chosen."

The Stardust star says that she is very excited about her new contract.  She added that she feels honoured to have been chosen for the campaign.  This is not the first time that Danes filled a model role.  She appeared in a campaign for Gap last year with actor Patrick Wilson.

In 2009, Claire Danes will be starring with Zac Efron and Ben Chaplin in the film Me and Orson Welles.
