the Fashion Spot - View Single Post - Prada Resort 2009 : Ymre Stiekema by Steven Meisel

I completely agree with Luxx about Ymre. She's one of the more traditionally beautiful models working today, and I love the fact that she looks old enough to drink and vote. I wouldn't mind in the least if she became the new face of Prada for a while.

I'm intrigued by these comments about her not being a Prada girl. I think that because Sasha was in the ads for so many seasons, and because girls like Vlada, Irina and Daiane have been so popular recently in part because Miuccia has cast them so often, people have forgotten that Miuccia hasn't always featured strange looking models in her ads or on her runways. Gisele was a mainstay on Prada runways from like 1999 up until 2001. Daria Werbowy, Amber Valetta and Angela Lindvall have all done Prada campaigns (Daria and Amber have done 2 or 3 each). But I wouldn't put any of those girls into the "unique or strange" category. In fact, they're all on the more traditionally beautiful side.

As for the ads, they're pre-season ads. How good was anyone expecting them to be?
