What will they say back in Ossining?WWD sets the stage:
“Deeply sensual.” That’s how Donatella Versace describes January Jones. Surely Mario Testino got the designer’s memo, as he photographed the actress for Versace’s new spring-summer 2011 ad campaign wearing nothing more than the brand’s accessories: bags, shoes, sunglasses and optical frames.
“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,” said Versace. “She is chic and elegant but deeply sensual too.”
We don't know that we'd ever classify January's image as "deeply sensual." "Ice princess" would seem to be more fitting. But Mario and Donatella obviously saw something there because we can't argue with the results:
Yowza.Face it, January, you look your best when you're done up '60s style. Now take that knowledge with you to the red carpet dear.
She looks like one of those blonde European sex bombs from the era, like Britt Ecklund, Elke Sommer, Anita Ekberg and the like. It's a perfect blend of model and product. Anyone flipping through a magazine is going to stop at that image, even if only for a second.
