Mischa’s always had a good fashion sense from a young age and despite her claims that she would not like to fulfill a full modelling career in the future, she’s still had time to help out a few brands and companies over the years by adding a little Mischa.
Keds Footwear (2005) Mischa became the spokesmodel for classic Keds Champion sneakers and Keds’ upcoming spring 2005 collection.
She says “I wear Keds all the time in real life. I have the polka dot ones and I like that they are timeless. I look at all the old pictures of women who wore Keds and they are my favorite women. It is just so much fun.” The ads premiere in Feb 2005 with Mischa making appearances on behalf of Keds and will even be spotted wearing them on The O.C. Mischa even gets to design some of them.
Dooney & Bourke Bags (2003)
Mischa was the first spokesmodel for Dooney & Bourke’s ‘It’ Bag campaign. When founder and designer, Pete Dooney decided to create a collection of handbags for the younger customers, he got the help of Teen Vogue Magazine, and selected 4 of their “It” girls to go to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. They designed a colourful collection of stylish bags and Mischa was chosen to feature in their print ad campaign which launched in Teen Vogue’s Aug/Sept issue until the end of the year.
Neutrogena (2003)
Mischa became the ‘face’ of leading manufacturer of skin, hair and cosmetics products – Neutrogena Corporation in 2003. She joined fellow Neutrogena spokespersons Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Freeman, Julie Bow, Kirsten Kreuk, Paola Rey, Jason Taylor and most recently Kelly Preston, each of whom continue in their role as Neutrogena representatives. Like the other spokespersons, she appeared in both national TV and print ad campaigns.
Calvin Klein (1996)
Now we all know where Mischa created such a great sense of style – it was none other than fashion guru Calvin Klein.
Following her move from London to New York when young, she began working as a child model and by the age of just 10 she was already gracing billboards and magazine advertisements wearing Calvin Klein Jeans for kids. The modelling for Calvin Klein kidswear lasted from December 1996 till March 1997.
