Absolutely loving the fact that Chiharu Okunugi got booked again. Nice casting. Great to see Adriana, Magdalena Jasek, Kirstin, Catherine McNeil and Kirsten Owen.

I have to admit I didn't like how Maartje looked last season but she looked amazing now, I was really pleased to see Esther, and loved how Chiharu and Sung Hee looked, and quite surprised also not to see an army of newface exclusives
Really surprised that there was no Vanessa Axentei, and disappointed that cora was the only black girl...
The casting was spectacular in some way but they could have done a better job with casting the right black girls. Jasmine Tookes and Anais Mali fits the bill perfectly.
Looking through it again, it was a great cast! Could've done without Adriana Lima or Andreea but other than that it was really nice! Maartje looked incredible would love her to snag the campaign again.

^ I cannot believe we have to defend Karmen against Cara! What has the world come to? No I actually agree with rockangel that Cara is more suited to the brand's tackiness but Karmen is leagues better than her in walk and everything else as a model
Oh and I was quite surprised by Amanda Murphy opening/closing. Never expected Prada to get second-handed girls as their openers.
Two words: Irina Kulikova (Calvin exc. prior to opening Prada FW07.08; neither opened their show before their respective Prada seasons). Amanda was perfect for this collection and, especially coupled with Sasha's opening in NY, really serves a testament to Proenza's current casting strength as well.
There has been some really decent casting amidst a mess of others this season. Prada was incredible though. To be honest, no one felt out of place in that lineup to me.

stating that cara's cheesiness suits Dsquared's tackiness perfectly well is actually nothing you'd have to defend Karmen against.
