Angie has been the celebrity face of St. John since 2006, appearing in their often black and white ads for their classic line of clothing.
Karen Elson has been hired to replace Angie, starting with their spring campaign, launching in the February issue of Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.
“We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John,” McMahon added. “We have evolved.”
