Here's the ad on the Miu Miu website.
It's ok, but I was hoping for something a little better. I loved the show but the theme isn't really coming across in this pic. Maybe it will in the other pics anyone seen the other pics yet?
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)
That is quiet a departure from the models she has used previous - I'm actually looking forward to seeing the outcome of this - Basinger being an older and especially when groomed stunning woman. Older women I find are far to underrepresentated in high fashion ads.
yes I know and I agree Hanne - I think MUI Mui s/s 06 might be difficult for an older woman to wear though...its all short and quite girly/young. It will be interesting to see how its done. The Prada mailine would have been more 'expected' - but I guess we should expect the unexpected with Muiccia.
HOLLYWOOD - Academy award-winning actress Kim Basinger has been enlisted by Italian fashion designer Muiccia Prada to model her new spring/summer Mui Mui collection.
Basinger, 51, who was a successful model before turning to acting, is the latest middle-aged female star to be chosen by highly acclaimed fashion houses, including Madonna, 47, and Demi Moore, 42, who both starred in recent Versace campaigns.
A source tells British newspaper The Daily Telegraph, "Basinger's just finished shooting the spring/summer 2006 Miu Miu campaign in Paris.
"Muccia chose Basinger for the intellectual sensuality she has, which is quite unique.
"She was also a cover girl before she became an actress, so she's no stranger to modeling."
