Prada F/W 2011.12 : Antonia, Dorte, Frida, Julia, Kelly & Ondria by Steven Meisel

[windlagoon]

it is very nice. i love these new fresh faces! did they walked the show or something? i never heard of them and this is quite a lovely surprise. i would cut frida out of the campaign though.
i am slightly disappointed by the simplicity of this...i don't think it's meisel's fault...lately the art direction for the prada campaigns seems to be so...bland. i do wonder if they shot the paillette looks. they look amazing in photographs.

and god, some people should just be quiet instead of being so ignorant.

Nothing about this excites me. I only like the colours.

I didn't like the collection but this campaign is making re-think my stance on it. I prefer Frida and Ondria's shot over the other two. Although I have to say that Ondria is stealing the campaign for me so far.

 

[AgrenateD]

so far i'm loving the slightly vintage appeal of this campaign, and i agree with everyone citing Ondria as the most engaging model in this ad. as for the rest of the models i can't really say much, it feels like just another Prada campaign tailormade to highlight the collection by casting a mixture of unknown models (Frida an exception) who teeter on the filler typecast regardless of how alien or how puny they look. nothing bad with it, Prada has excelled in this type of casting formula after the Sasha period, though it rather makes the entire thing easily forgettable. casting youthful, innocent models for a collection drawn from the same spectrum.. it works, but it sure becomes boring after awhile.

model casting aside, i find the colors in the ad very pleasant, although it becomes a lull after staring at all pastels

I like the casting I think it works well with the clothes, esp Kelly and Frida but I just love the mod clothes esp the last 2 plaid dresses and the way they styled them that I would probably like them on just about anyone, but really I guess thats the best case for them, that people love the clothes no matter how they may be presented.

 

[BonesAndOil]

How random? Sometimes I feel like the Prada camp tries to come up with these campaigns and casts just to throw everyone off and create discussion at tFS haha.

Anyways, I thought Kelly was actually Kirsi Pyrhonen at first glance. Either way. I think this will be nice in print.

I don't understand the justification of how something is considered aesthetically good based on the fact that it resembles a different era (especially the 90's). It's just something I've noticed far too often on tFS.

i don't get it either. it seems if you don't wanna sound insipid and uninformed about fashion beyond 2005 you just go with saying everything looks like the late 90s-early 00s when it actually doesn't.

the clothes look great in the campaign but the cast brings nothing to the table, what's herface next to frida is the only girl that looks good in the overtly saccharine environment.

The 90s is perhaps the most accessible past decade for us because most of us don't remember fashion before then. I'm really lucky because I was exposed to 90s fashion when I was very young because of my mother, so I remember a lot of it. The 1990s are always a welcomed sight because it was a time of incomparable sleekness and glamour. The 90s was when fashion really became larger than life, so everything was still really fresh and mesmerizing.

So does Russell Marsh still cast prada shows?? Kind of strange that Brokaw would cast this.

I like Frida's positioning but her face is doing nothing for me in that shot. I think this campaign would be better without Frida.

 

[Ives927]

My point wasn't so much about whether or not the 90's was a great decade, but rather about how I notice people on tFS use the 90's/00's asethetic as an argument/justification to validate something that is produced today. I read a lot of "that's so 90's/00's, therefore it's amazing!' statements and no other valid points to justify their reasoning.

 

[fashionmypassion]

does nothing for me

bunch of young girls and sort of bland photography.i was expecting much more

Ashley cast the F/W 10 and S/S 11 campaigns as well.
But Russell is still casting the shows it seems.

Maybe they find the decade so good, that the resemblance is already a bonus at the beginning.

When it comes to Prada, I myself love the late 90's campaigns with Amber or Angela, or the ones from the eraly 00'. In fact, those remind me a little bit of the F/W 2001 campaign, which I adore, although these images speak for themselves easily. It's such an amazing season from Miu so far, both catwalk- and print-wise.

I like the colors and styling. But the models look quite blank here.

^I don't like the latest photo to surface but my favorite is Frida + Ondria. Still can't get over the fugliness of the snakeskin boots.

Kelly is the only one i like in the new shot this time
the other girls look tired
