You just have to look back a few years to find girls like Bridget Hall and Michelle Buswell (now that was weird). Not to mention Carolyn, Nadja etc back in the day. These things always move in circles, and I couldn't imagine anything more boring than Prada going straight for another Sasha type.
Please, don't remind us of the trauma. I loved most of the other multi-girl campaigns from that era, though. Well, actually, that one wasn't half bad either. If one covered Michelle's face.

You make some valid points. I just wish the change had taken another direction.
