Ohhh the double page really clicks it. I like it.

 

[dfwn2n]

Last season campaign was fantastic

 

[anlabe32]

Not really a surprise but I like it. I'm keen to seen more.

Was hoping to see Emily Driver, Mona Tougaard and Lillian Connor in this campaign... they looked fantastic in the show. Maybe they'll still show up.

 

[littlekiki]

Do I see Rebecca Leigh Longendyke in the double page?

 

[mikel]

The double page is much better.

 

[bluebanter]

Ok, the ad works with the double page spread.

That moment when Breitbart just got their first black and Asian staff members. Vanderperre trying to be subversive?

It's certainly the most commentary-driven work I've seen from him in a literal sense but will wait for the full campaign to surface. I will say that I like the colours, but his blocking of the cast is still terrible.

 

[reesewu]

It could’ve been stronger had the white models looked directly at Anok and the asian male model. If you want to make a social commentary, you might as well take it all the way and in doing so, your attention to detail has to be amped up a notch.

I feel the “you can’t sit with us” vibe

I'm pretty sure the asian male model is Sora Choi.

 

[reesewu]

I'm pretty sure the asian male model is Sora Choi.

Wow, apologies for that. Guess I really suck at identifying models.

 

[Growl]

Wow, apologies for that. Guess I really suck at identifying models.

No worries, I loled.

 

[bluebanter]

So I can ID the following models:
Berit Heitmann
Maud Hoevelaken
Anok Yai
Sora Choi
Rebecca Longendyke

Who are the others?

Anatomy of Romance


New love, new life, a new perspective on romance. The new chapter of Prada 365 evolves and explores the spirit of the Fall/Winter 2019 Prada men’s and women’s collections, capturing them here hand-in-hand to underscore the identity of the season. Each inspired by the ideas and ideals of romance as a human emotion and an artistic movement, these images showcase both the individual and the collective - romantics, and romance.

Photographed by Willy Vanderperre, a sense of community is fostered in this tender imagery, a shared ethos and quintessence - a coming together, a romantic movement. The concept is expounded through the surroundings as well as the figures within: here, a tension between man and nature is explored through the attraction of opposites, through images where an interior becomes an exterior, wild nature encroaching on industrial precision, delicate flowers and plants emerging to invade a harsh concrete cityscape. It acts as a modern romantic metaphor, for a coming together of different worlds.

I haven't been a fan of Prada's campaigns for a number of seasons now, would replace Vanderperre with Steven Meisel in a heartbeat if I had the power, but I can admit that this isn't the worst Prada campaign I've came across.

While I do believe the massive cast is unnecessary, I quite like the contrast between the floral displays and the industrial setting, and completely agree that the images work best as a double-page spread.

 

[mathiaskatz]

Far from Willy's worst, but it's a bit too busy for me.


(where's Jing? )

 

[Benn98]

'Anatomy of Romance' but all I see is ennui!

Definitely not bad for him (that's what it coming to?), but there's no light in the tunnel for Prada with this guy shooting her campaigns. Why can't Miuccia see that? None of this looks cool or aspirational, even in hypebeast terms. Because trusts me, that's what she's going for now.

 

[Riseup]

So they booked the whole show for the campaign too huh? they all look dull. Next season please.

 

[apple]

The shots are quite beautiful but the casting..
