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

[Andymoon]

I like Evangelista but that picture looks so airbrushed...

Sasha was and will be the perfect representation of Prada, Miuccia made a terrible mistake changing Sasha for Linda.

^^Yeah...Linda is just not...Prada.

^exactly

i really doubt even sasha could make this ad look good. the ad is bad, but it isn't lindas fault. the pose, the set, the colors, even the clothes just don't fit.

I never liked Linda but I actually think she's perfectly suited for the uptightness and severity of the collection.. something about a not so genuine elegance that I see in Linda and an undeniable strength and character that makes her the best choice to carry this.. I really cannot picture a young new girl or even Sasha on this.. the clothes would look too cartoonish and probably edgier but that would make them lose all the other elements that made this intentionally weird in the first place.

i was waiting for something very severe ...

i don't get it why Miuccia doesn't want her campain shoot outside ... Maybe because she doesn't want the commercials be too easy-interpreted ...
But honestly in a good old medieval monastere in France ... would be very good ! - must say i was waiting for something like this ...

I quite it although her face looks like a baby lying on belly and trying to look at the ceiling.
Nice colours and the model cast is perfect. This shot is not the best but I'm sure the others are and I can't imagine Sasha in these clothes and definitely not in this advertisement.

[CholoChic]

i like that mate color

[Royal-Galliano]

i hate it. and i hate myself for repeating how i hate linda

[Sweet rus]

Linda is airbrushed to hell! why?
I don't like it so far

[xPedro]

I love it!

Prada without Sasha is kinda horrible , Linda's face is weird , the sets remind me of S/S 07 , but much worse than it . The man is not that bad , though . Thanks God , Miuccia changes her type for those guys that are wet behind the ears .

I was looking forward to a new face for Prada, but this is a huge disappointment. Linda looks severe, unnatural and boring. That facial expression is just so... frozen. After several years of Sasha, this is just awful. If they wanted to make a change, they should have used Adina or Natalia Chabanenko - to contrast a "granny" collection with a sexy fresh face.

[Marcel]

^Oh it would have helped Adina so much and she's such a gorgeous girl. Natalia is amazing too I think both would have made a stunning camapaign why did you have to remind me of those two stunning girls who could have rocked this camapaign better than Linda.

[Sabrina]

Sorry, Marcel! But just to pour a little salt on the wound: how nice would it be to have Adina & Natalia together in the campaign? They would just make this collection come alive. With Linda, it feels like I am looking at a wax figure at Madame Tussauds.
