　　The campaign sees Toast modeling various sunglasses, both by herself and alongside the designer; in fact, several of the images show Ms Walker and her canine⁷ companion sporting the same shades side by side.

　　The New Zealand native, announced that Toast was the latest face of her brand in an Instagram post Sunday, writing: 'This gorgeous redhead’s story is a true Cinderella one. She was discovered living in cruel circumstances, rescued, and quickly rocketed to fame thanks to her wonderful looks, charming personality and inimitable sense of humour.' The accompanying image, which shows Toast wearing some chic⁸ tortoise-shell frames, has already garnered⁹ close to 5,000 likes.

　　这位来自新西兰的设计师于上周日在Instagram上发帖宣布吐司为品牌最新“代言人”。帖子里说道：“这头可爱的红毛小狗的故事是现实版的《灰姑娘》。她曾在恶劣的环境里生存，然后被救出，最后用她出色的样貌、迷人的个性和独特的幽默感一炮而红。” 帖子的配图是吐司戴着时髦玳瑁框眼镜的照片，已经获得了近5000个赞。

　　Toast's owners also shared an image from the campaign on her Instagram account, noting: 'None of the photos are photoshopped. I'm just that good.'

　　吐司的主人也在吐司的个人账号上分享了其中一张宣传照，注解道：“这些照片都没P过，我就是这么美。”

　　Ms Walker said that she was nervous about posing next to the famous pup.

　　沃克女士表示，与这只明星狗狗一起拍摄她有些紧张。

　　'It’s pretty hard to compete with a toothless dog with its tongue hanging out,' she admitted.

　　她坦言：“想不被耷拉着舌头、没有牙齿的吐司比下去，很不容易。”

　　Toast's teeth had to be removed when she was rescued because they were rotten.

　　吐司被救出来的时候，牙齿已经全部腐坏，因此被拔除。

　　Ms Walker's previous eyewear campaigns have featured other unexpected models, such as small children, Kenyan artisans and women from Advanced Style, a website that showcases the fashion of senior citizens.

　　沃克女士此前的太阳镜广告宣传片也起用过一些出人意料的模特，从幼童到肯尼亚的工匠，再到老年人时尚网站“银发也时尚（Advanced Style）”的奶奶级时尚达人，都参加过凯伦?沃克品牌的拍摄。
