Prada F/W 08.09 : Linda Evangelista & Patrick Petitjean by Steven Meisel

[Bahiyya]

^ Yes, I don't...I'm not very familiar with her work but in her recent public appearances I thought she looked amazing. Somehow that doesn't translate into the ads for me but I'm waiting to see them myself in print so that whatever I'm missing in the smaller online snaps hits me...

The extreme airbrushing really, really annoys me . I hate it when she distinctive-looking models get photoshopped into oblivion. (See Daria in the Lancome ads.)

The eyewear one isn't bad.

The eyewear shot isn't that bad. But the rest of it makes Linda look like a wooden painted doll It wasn't a stunning collection and I was so hoping the campaign would make me think otherwise like it did for Spring.

Linda has succumbed to botox, she said so herself in Vogue August 2006, so no wonder she looks stiff!

 

[Squizree]

Omg! Wheres Sasha. No matter how good this is, I love Sasha's ads more.

 

[Ed..]

This is the worst Prada mainline campaign I've ever seen.

The only thing that saves the campaign for me is Patrick Petitjean

I hope they will go for outdoor shoot, not studio shoot, next season.

To me L. Evangelista looks like the one puppet from Mr. Rogers neighborhood. Or maybe silly putty stretched over two oranges and a carrot. This is boring.

oh god can this get any worse?

 

[mikel]

I like it.

 

[Sabrina]

Oh my god. She looks like a corpse. I am so disappointed. I've loved Prada ads pre-Sasha and during Sasha - but this is not something that appeals to me a lot. It actually scares me.

 

[alix*]

She looks terribly stiff and plastic.

This campaign is a deja vu to me. Probably because even since I heard Linda is doing Prada I predicted the photoshoot would come out to be Linda, perched eyebrows and photoshop.

^ oh thanks. they actually look nice

 

[ChicParisienne]

I went to my local bookstore just now, flipped through the Jul/Aug issue of Monocle and saw a brand new Prada ad featuring Patrick Petitjean...but I didn't buy it cuz its so expensive, sorry guys, hopefully this info helps

beautiful pics PRADA
i love linda evangelista and prada

 

[icelynn]

Oh my God. The ads are HORRIBLE. I seriously thought they had potential, and then I saw all of these. Her mouth is so irritating I can't even describe it...and she looks so plastic and fake. It seems like someone shot every inch of her face with Botox. How could they ever think this is even slightly attractive? And what is the concept? Plastic?

[izzie stevens]

She still looks frozen in the face.

 

[charmedp321]

TBH I couldnt image Sasha in this campaign, Linda fits it. Im still not digging the collection.

 

[vogue28]

this is starting to grow on me a lot. I like it, and looks way better in print. Thanks for the scans
