Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Nastia Liukin with front the Max Azria’s Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaign, set to debut online later this month.

“For the Max Azria campaign, we wanted someone iconic — someone timeless. We met Nastia at our last runway show, and she was everything we were looking for,” said Lubov Azria, creative director of Max Azria. “The spring collection was inspired by movement and modern dance so she was perfect. It was meant to be, and the magic just sort of happened.”

This will be Nastia’s first fashion campaign. There are no plans to run the campaign in magazine.
