Miranda Kerr gives you hugs and kisses

Miranda Kerr has been unveiled as the new face of clothing firm, XOXO.

The Australian beauty poses in a bikini next to the brand’s slogan ‘Hugs and Kisses’ in a series of ads. Miranda, 26, shot the ads in New York earlier this month.

Christina Cassar, the company’s senior director of marketing communications, said: “We feel like our customer can relate to Miranda.”

The print ads, for the youth brand, have now debuted in US publications.

Miranda – whose fiancé is British actor Orlando Bloom – is also a ‘face’ of lingerie firm, Victoria’s Secret.

The ‘Hugs and Kisses’ campaign was made famous in the early 1990s with ads featuring Christy Turlington, Claudia Schiffer and Tyra Banks.
