HALLELUJAH!A 44-year old model - not a teen - will front the next Calvin Klein underwear advertising campaign.

The company has announced that iconic model-activist Christy Turlington Burns will be featured in their upcoming Fall 2013 global advertising campaign. 
The ads were shot by renowned fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti on location in Vieques, Puerto Rico. 
Other names who have graced Calvin Klein campaigns include Brooke Shields, Mark Wahlberg, Kate Moss, Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson, and Diane Kruger.
Turlington's still incredible looking body will be plastered across magazines and billboards all over the world.
She's not the only 40-something to continue modelling underwear.
Australia's Elle Macpherson is still known as 'The Body', and with good reason - as the 50-year-old showing off her incredible figure in a number of magazine shoots in the last few years year (although she leaves the promotion of her own brand Elle Macpherson Intimates to younger models).

While continuing to model, she has also directed and produced a documentary about the global state of maternal health. 
Following the release of her film No Woman, No Cry in 2010, she founded Every Mother Counts (EMC), a campaign to improve the health and well-being of girls and women worldwide.
