HOLLYWOOD - Academy award-winning actress
Kim Basinger has been enlisted by Italian fashion designer Muiccia Prada to model her new spring/summer Mui Mui collection.
Basinger, 51, who was a successful model before turning to acting, is the latest middle-aged female star to be chosen by highly acclaimed fashion houses, including
Madonna, 47, and
Demi Moore, 42, who both starred in recent Versace campaigns.
A source tells British newspaper
The Daily Telegraph, "
Basinger's just finished shooting the spring/summer 2006 Miu Miu campaign in Paris.
"Muccia chose
Basinger for the intellectual sensuality she has, which is quite unique.
"She was also a cover girl before she became an actress, so she's no stranger to modeling."
