Tatu are new faces of Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs has named Russian duo t.A.T.u. as the faces of his autumn/winter line.

The designer is famed for his tendency to opt for the more unconventional choices for his advertising campaigns, which have previously featured child star Dakota Fanning, director Sofia Coppola, The White Stripes' Meg White, and singer M.I.A.

The singers replace Victoria Beckham, who starred in Jacobs' spring/summer collection. Mrs Beckham posed in a series of bizarre shots for the designer, including with her legs flailing from an

open carrier bag, poking out from the top of a box, and wearing a

series of unflattering looks, including a dark blunt fringe.

With Jacobs managing to convince the usually preeened Posh to adopt such an unusal series of looks, we look forward to seeing what he comes up with for the upcoming autumn campaign.
