Kate Moss who? First look at Miranda Kerr's smouldering Mango campaign as she takes the reins from supermodel predecessor

After it was announced last month that Miranda Kerr was replacing Kate Moss as the new face of Mango, many wondered just how she would compare.
Now, the first images from the fashion store's spring/summer 2013 campaign have been released and it looks like the Victoria's Secret model had no trouble measuring up to her supermodel predecessor.
Ms Kerr, 29, said in a statement: 'Mango is a brand that I love. You always find the perfect garment for every occasion!'

The Australian model, who is married to Orlando Bloom with whom she has a young son, Flynn, will  appear in Mango's advertising campaign across print, digital and broadcast media as well as adorning billboards with her smouldering look. 
She shot her Mango debut in New York with renowned fashion photography duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
Much like in the behind-the-scenes teaser images, the professional poser looks relaxed as she pouts and plays with her tousled hair.

She added: 'I am delighted to be collaborating with MANGO for the Spring/Summer 2013 season. We had a great time shooting the campaign and it was very easy working with the entire team.'
Miranda follows in the fashion footsteps of Ms Moss who had previously been the face of Mango for several years, a brand that prides themselves its trendy designs for the 'young, urban woman' with 2,000 stores in more than 100 countries. 
Actresses Scarlett Johansson and Penélope Cruz and supermodel Naomi Campbell have also modelled for the brand previously.

After she was officially unveiled as Mango's new face in Madrid, Spain, today, she is said to be winding down her professional commitments ahead of the festive season, and revealed in a new interview that she is looking forward to spending Christmas with husband Orlando Bloom and their little boy Flynn.
She told Us Weekly magazine: 'Orlando and I don't work over Christmas and the holiday season, so it's really nice for us to be together as a family.
'And this year, since Flynn is a little bit older, it's going to be so nice to just see the way that he gets excited about Christmas. The wonderful thing is that we're all together.'
