I find it really interesting that they used Lila for Miu Miu and Stella for Prada. Probably not just a coincidence but Stella actually looks good here.
Anyone able to ID the full cast? I can only ID the Prada SS20 exclusive models (apart from who has already been identified)... seems to be a couple newfaces in this campaign. Maybe I’m wrong.
So the creative direction was done by Ferdinando Verderi...which is definitely a major shake up and explains a lot! I wonder if it was for this Resort campaign only, or whether he really is replacing David James as Prada's CD?
Love this as well. I like Willy Vanderperre as a photographer, he's amazing, but he just never really worked for Prada imo.
Ferdinando hasn't really done a great job lately (again, imo) with art direction but this is stellar. Not quite 'getting' the whole 'Prada flowers' thing but waiting to see how it turns out.

I’m personally looking forward to the day when they finally photograph a fully amputeed model. What’s taking them so long?...Prada is very behind the times, on that front.
I mean, 12 models in one campaign is really nothing...why not 200 at this point? Get all your bases covered...or else someone out there is gonna be mad!
I'm not bawled over by the campaign (or the cast) but I can appreciate Prada ushering in something different in terms of campaign photographers. Yet for me, these image do still have a certain Vanderperre quality, so I guess it's not a total departure.
Much prefer the studio portraits, as opposed to the images shot on location! The ones with Stella Jones and Kyla Ramsey are particularity lovely.
