TEXAS singer Sharleen Spiteri has admitted she is a proud mother after her daughter Misty Kyd was chosen to model for fashion house Miu Miu.
Seventeen year old Misty, whose father is magazine editor Ashley Heath, was picked by the stylish Italian clothing label to take part in their latest global campaign.
Misty debuted with the brand, which is owned by Prada and has headquarters in France, at their Paris fashion week show in March just ahead of lockdown alongside models including Gigi Hadid.
She is now signed with Viva models who have offices in Paris, London and Barcelona and count models Kirsty Hume and Stella Tennant on their board of faces as well as Charlotte Rampling and Juliette Binoche, amongst their celebrity talents.
Her latest model pictures form part of the latest Miu Miu advertising campaign Close, a collection of visual studies on the theme of proximity, taken by photographer Liz Collins.
A thrilled Sharleen, who is a fan of the brand and attended the opening of their flagship store in London in 2012, shared the new images of Misty with her followers on Instagram saying: “How they grow up. Misty Kyd really proud mum @miumiu.”
The Glasgow born I Don’t Want A Lover singer received congratulatory messages from a plethora of famous friends including Mary McCartney and Sadie Frost who said: “So cute liccle Misty.”
Claudia Winkleman also told her: “So beautiful”.
Misty describes herself as enthusiastic, energetic, ambitious and a lover of music from the late 90s to early 2000’s on her model profile. She also says she’d like to own Christ In Limbo by Bosch and would like to be Boudicca if she could choose to be any historical figure.
She is a fan of Harry Styles and posted a picture of the two of them hanging out in Camden Town at a gig saying “Recent with my man hazza”.
Following her Miu Miu runway debut she said: “All I can say is wow. What a way to finish off Paris fashion week! Such an honour to debut with such an amazing show @miumiu ! Such a lovely team behind this show.”
She also put up a picture of herself backstage with clips in her hair saying: “If only I’d known a week later I’d be going into isolation.”
