Sitting pretty: Isabella Rosselini for Bulgari

Landing a Bulgari campaign is a pretty big deal. Landing a Bulgari campaign featuring handbags inspired by your own signature style, however, takes things to another level entirely.

Just ask Isabella Rossellini, who is having her Lana Del Rey moment with Bulgari's new Isabella Rosselini bag collection for Fall 2012 and Spring 2013, Women's Wear Daily reports.

Fresh off her Vogue Italia cover shoot, the 60-year-old model/actress channels Madame X as she poses for Annie Leibovitz with one strap of her dress hanging down, echoing her first-ever Leibovitz portrait, from 1986.

Perched on a black sofa, the Italian stunner sports red heels and slicked-back locks as she clutches a red calf-leather tote with a rock crystal twist lock. British neorealist painter Meredith Frampton is cited as an inspiration for the striking shoot, which took place in a New York City studio.

We can't think of a better way to usher in one's 60s. Daughter Elettra Wiedemann should be proud!
