Donatella Versace seems committed to starting the new year with a loud bang.

Intent on boosting the sale of Versace’s many products, the Italian fashion designer tapped two of the biggest names in the fashion industry; she has hired the luscious Brazilian bombshell Gisele Bundchen and the controversial, but still much sough after, British super model Kate Moss to [star in her campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign).

Both [uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-eats-marketplace) models were shot with an enchanting and dreamy body of water in the background. Gisele, who is clad in a white dress, is depicted in a very awkward and peculiar pose which makes her look strangely twisted and contorted.

These three images for Versace’s Spring 2009 campaign are the first ones to hit the glossies. Keep a look out for more quirky pictures to come out of this [whimsical print campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity), which was shot by the incredibly talented fashion photographer Mario Testino.
