Marina Perez? really????

I've waited ten years to see Marina in Prada. Thought it would never happen.

Oh yes, you are right. Sorry, they hadn't tagged her on instagram.

So there are only 3 models left to be revealed, I wonder who they will be.

I would love to see Naki Depass.
But I have a feeling Mica and Yasmin will probably be part of the line up as well...

 

[vanpersie]

My guesses Mica, Yasmin and Maartje/Natasha/Laurijn (a blonde).

Last 3 girls: Ondria Hardin, Londone Myers, Danielle Ellsworth

The cast lacks diversity.

Wait, are you being for real? They casted two Asian girls and one black girl. It's pretty diverse in my eyes.

^ Three black girls actually. Danielle Elsworth and Noemie Abigail are considered black as well.

The cast is absolutely disappointing. With 27 models, you'd expect a good balance between new and old favourites. Only 5 models can be labeled "Prada muse" though (Sasha, Vanessa, Amanda, Raquel and Lexi). I would have loved at least 10 muses. There are some models who are absolutely unnecessary and/or don't fit the brand at all (Ondria, Danielle, Yoon, Angelica, Roos, Catie, Amanda G and Paulina who looks just like Sara). There are some nice surprises though. Vittoria, Rianne, Kiki, Sara, Natalie, Lorena all fit the brand and/or the collection.

I'm really interested in seeing the film. At least I hope there is one.

The only girl I can't get so far is Vittoria Ceretti. Oh my god, why does Meisel obsessed with her?

 

[dior_couture1245]

^^Because Vittoria is stunning and shows up for work when she's in front of the camera! She delivers!

I actually would have preferred this to have been a campaign of just Vittoria, Milla Jovovich (who is a great surprise and looks gorgeous) and Marina (who I am so thrilled to see her here! After years of being a Prada staple in the mid-late 00's, it's pretty fabulous to see her finally in the campaign, too bad she's one of 27, though...). I feel like their looks would have complimented each other nicely as a trio.

3 black girls and 2 asian girls in a cast of 27 is not diverse imo

 

[Firefly216]

Let's see if the rest of the campaign impresses me, because the stunt casting doesn't. Still can't get my head around 27 models. Why not just let the clothing and photography speak for itself?

 

[SpeakThatJDunn]

LOL at people calling this diverse.

 

[guimon]

So many random choices. If you're going for almost 30 girls, at least do it right.
I have no idea who Danielle Elsworth is, Caitie and Vittoria are there basically cuz they are Meisel's newest obsessions, Milla Jovovich and Londone, really?
I'm only happy for Ondria tho. She's such a hard working girl and have been in the industry for a long time. She deserves.
Anyway enough complaining about the cast. I'm just curious to see the rest of the shots.

 

[lilgruner]

unbelievable about Marina finally lands a Prada campaign under Steven Meisel, such a long time after walked Prada many years back, like no other... but she's never gets a Prada campaign... so curious. after all i think she's so royalty for Miuccia. So existed about this campaign for her!

 

[Malaya]

MILLA!!! <3 I think Londone is stunning but a really random choice for this one. They could've went for Malaika, Lineisy, or Aya. Even better, Liya.

I'm only happy for Ondria tho. She's such a hard working girl and have been in the industry for a long time. She deserves.

Yeah she deserves...to fade into oblivion. LOL.

 

[t-rex]

Do all 27 models get paid or is it considered an "honor" to do Prada for free?

Do all 27 models get paid or is it considered an "honor" to do Prada for free?

I'm sure Milla, Sasha, Raquel, Fei Fei, Freja, Julia, and Stella got paid well. The others probably walked away with last seasons clothes.

 

[guimon]

Yeah she deserves...to fade into oblivion. LOL.

Well, she hasn't faded yet. She's still around, and I don't think she's going anywhere. She's still walking for major designers and getting blue chips campaign, even after all this years.

Looking forward to see her shot!

27 girls in a 3 girl per ad means 9 images. So I guess no girl will get a solo ad page? probably for eyewear, I wonder who they´ll choose to front those? Milla works best cause she´s a celebrity imo... I can´t wait to see the whole campaign.
