Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid may be the models of the moment, with Vogue hailing the duo 'the new supermodels', but Jimmy Choo has other ideas.

The footwear giant has enlisted a stunning cast of supermodels - both old and new - for its AW16 campaign.

Industry stalwarts such as Amber Valletta and Milla Jovovich are joined by new faces like Taylor Hill and Jasmine Tookes, who are two of Victoria's Secret's new Angels.

For the Jimmy Choo autumn/winter 2016 campaign, the brand has enlisted the help of models Taylor Hill, Amber Valletta and Milla Jovovich.

The trio looked stunning posing for the shoot wearing the latest footwear designs for the upcoming season. And we particularly liked the retro looking velvet pair donned by Taylor Hill in a gorgeous but unusual amber hue.

The velvet finish is distinctly wintry with its warming feel, but that doesn't mean you can't prepare early as these bad boys are available to pre-order now (click right to head to the Jimmy Choo website).

If you're hoping to bag yourself a similar pair instantly, why not head below for a line up of options? We couldn't source you an amber option but all the picks below are pretty velvet picks sure to nail Taylor's look.

We love them with trousers as styled here, but they'll look great with skirts too!

The genetically-blessed women are also joined by Sasha Pivovarova, Lexi Boling and Xiao Wen Ju.

According to the footwear giant, the casting represents the dynamism of the brand, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

'Spanning different ages and cultures, each model embodies the essence of the Jimmy Choo woman; an innate confidence, effortless glamour and daring spirit,' they say of the campaign, which was shot by Kate Moss' friend, Craig McDean, in New York.

'The Autumn Winter campaign is a reflection of the characters who embody the Jimmy Choo brand values both during the past 20 years and into the future. It is a modern vision for our woman and signals a bold new chapter,' said Sandra Choi, Creative Director.

Amber Valletta, 41, is arguably the most famous face in the campaign. After hitting rock bottom while struggling with addiction in her teens and early 20s, Amber - now sixteen years clean - is focused on saying healthy

Newer faces include Jasmine Tookes, 24, who was discovered in her fashion stylist mother's showroom

'I sniffed markers, I sniffed glue, fingernail polish, anything that could give me a buzz ... then I found drugs that were around the culture of my family,' she explained in a live talk with MindBodyGreen.com last year, before adding that she tried marijuana for the first time at age 10 and went on to drink excessively and snort cocaine.

'I had a multi-million [dollar] deal and I showed up the first day to shoot this campaign high and drunk,' she said. 'Addiction takes you to the worst places. I showed up to my uncle's bedside and he was dying and I was still high, still drunk and looking for a place to go do another line.'

Milla Jovovich, 40, is as famous for her good looks as her acting career, having starred in The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc and Return to the Blue Lagoon

Now clean for over sixteen years - a feat which she shared on Instagram with the hashtags #grateful and #blessed - she continues her efforts to be happy and healthy by treating her body right - and proves she's still got what it takes to cut it in the fashion industry.

She eats a healthy diet, which includes green juices, raw almonds, and whole wheat wraps.

'I eat really clean and really simple: brown rice, a quinoa bowl, grilled fish, veggies, a big salad,' she told Allure in 2014. 'I appreciate fine foods, but that’s not how I eat day to day.'

Newer faces include Jasmine Tookes, 24, who was discovered in her fashion stylist mother's showroom. As a child, she practiced gymnastics for 14 years and played high school volleyball.

Her breakthrough campaigns were in 2010 for Ugg boots and Gap. Despite her trim figure, she is a self-confessed 'foodie' who loves trying new and exotic meals.

At just 19, Taylor Hill is a hot new industry face. She was scouted while on a horse ranch in Colorado by Jim Jordan, an agent who is also a photographer.

She was quickly snapped up to star in Intimissimi's catalogue, has modelled for H&M and was one of the faces of Rosa Cha with Erin Heatherton, Frida Gustavsson and Barbara Palvin.
