Miley Cyrus is the brand new face of Marc Jacobs, but their long-standing in-house photographer Juergen Teller refused to work with her.

The photos are for the Marc Jacobs spring/summer 2014 collection campaign, which are usually shot by Teller, but according to Jacobs himself, "He just didn't want to shoot her."

Although he has nothing but respect for the photographer, explaining, "I have worked with Juergen for years and love him as an artist."

To complete the campaign, David Sims was brought in to photograph Miley, who was going for a very moody shot.

Explained Jacobs, "We wanted this beach with the girls kind of sulky and broody, and we thought it would be cool if it was Miley with what could be two friends, feeling distant and quite dark."

He then gushed about the singer, adding, "We all just love her and her entire being, her talent, her intelligence, everything. There's nothing I don't like about her. She is just genuine and very natural."

Something tells us Teller would beg to differ.
