PREPARE to recognise the faces in the forthcoming Miu Miu campaign. Known for casting the newest and hottest up-and-coming models for her catwalks and in her ads,
Miuccia Prada has decided to join the celebrity craze by contrasting
Kim Basinger's pale beauty with the sultry look of part-Brazilian, part-American actress
Camlla Belle for spring/summer 2006. According to
WWD, the pair were photographed on location in Paris by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. "It is unnatural for me to choose the girls [for my campaigns and catwalks] and I don't enjoy it," Prada said recently when quizzed on what she looked for in a model. "I hate the idea of judging a human being in that way, I find it very embarrassing. The moment they enter the room I decide whether they are right for the show because it is their personality that has to strike me first. I'm looking for the woman who can represent my idea better than any other." (November 30 2005, AM)
