Prada F/W 08.09 : Linda Evangelista & Patrick Petitjean by Steven Meisel

[d&g_fan]

she is not that bad come on! but she is not the right person for this campaign

[helmut.newton]

This is possibly the worst campaign EVER. It's pretty much Spring 2007 all over again.

Its so.....boring. They could have done so much more with the concept of lace and all that.

I mean, I'm so shocked. Prada is usually so innovative in all other areas. Their ad campaigns are so BORING. Why?

Anyway these Prada lace pieces are in every editorial...at least we could not see Linda

[helmut.newton]

It must be Prada's creative director. I mean Meisel is capable of genius.

I would take THIS Meisel for Prada ad over Linda ANYDAY

Wow great pic!This should be used for the campaign
Except for that hideous "thing" on her nose
In my opinion Miuccia should emphasize the mood of the collection...,maybe shooting in a church or in a convent/monastery

[helmut.newton]

^^^^ agree! They should have used the perversity of the clothes and shot it against some kind of ultra religious architecture.

[FashionPower]

Yeah!
Why did they use only a stupid empty room with hideous shades?
I'm so disappointed,this is my favourite Prada collection so far...Miuccia and Linda ruined everyhing

Who's the creative director of Prada? Katie Grand?

[helmut.newton]

^^^ no, not anymore. Prada got "sick of her" - quote by Grand herself.

[darri]

^^^ Haha!! Grand must be glad this campaign is looking to be pretty crappy without her!! (Not including the gorgeous Patrick!)

[helmut.newton]

I feel really ashamed to say but I'd rather another season with Sasha than this cr*p.

I mean, at least Sasha would bring some kind of fierceness. Linda just looks wrong. In some shots she looks almost suprised to be there

Also. I think the marketing strategy is all wrong. The clothes are matronly and mature. They should have tried to imbue the campaigns with a youthful energy so that the under 30's market would feel inclined to buy these pieces and make them modern.

Its all so wrong!!! I want to cry!

[FashionPower]

I have to say I can't imagine a young woman wearing these Prada pieces
Some things look very "granny style" and I can imagine only Tilda Swilson(or something like that)wearing this collection
From this point of view maybe Linda is not so wrong...all the old-botoxed-frustrated-alien woman can identify with her!!!
Sasha is too yound and fierce for the collection...I suppose
Ads would be much better with some Britney style:they could put Sasha in a church confessing with the priest...and then they start to flirt together...maybe it's a bit blasphemous but surely impressive

[kuli_trendy]

it's the worst prada's campaign i've ever seen. please...bring us another sasha!

[fierceboi]

perhaps she had too much botox that kept her lips from closing

[vogue28]

^ possible.

I didn't like this at first, but when I saw it in Vogue UK August 08 it has grown on me.
