STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Italian model Mariacarla Boscono will replace Kate Moss in TV commercials to help launch a collection by Stella McCartney for Swedish clothing chain Hennes & Mauritz.

Moss lost the contract after photos of her allegedly snorting cocaine in a London music studio were published last month in a British tabloid.

McCartney was personally involved in the selection of Boscono, who has previously worked with the designer, H&M spokeswoman Liv Asarnoj said Tuesday.

Posters and newspaper ads for McCartney's collection will not feature any model, Asarnoj said. "We have chosen a graphical solution for those instead."

Moss, 31, has issued an apology, saying she is addressing her problems and takes "full responsibility" for her actions. She reportedly checked into a rehabilitation clinic in Arizona.

McCartney's limited collection of about 40 items for women will go on sale Nov. 10 in 400 H&M stores.

Last year, H&M released a collection by Karl Lagerfeld that sold out in a few hours in many stores worldwide.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
