^I totally agree. It annoyes me terribly.

 

[notmanons]

^ same. It's only a matter of time until someone compares whose who by their feet a la Chanel.

Okay, since everyone is getting all up in everyone's proverbial grill. I've decided to post the girl's pictures, as they appear naturally, the only way you can distinguish one girl from an other is to go by their bone structure since they're all blonde, super thin and really tall Lol. A lot of members aren't even familiar with the newest girls so this can be their initiaition.
style, fmag, coutorture. In order of their appearance in the ads:
(1) Nimue Smit, (2) Giedre Dukauskaite, (3) Sigrid Agren, (4) Toni Garrn, (5) Katrin Thormann, (6) Viktoriya Sasonkina, (7) Ymre Stiekema.

I won't post Anna Jagodzinska's picture (the 8th girl) just in case people get confused and it transpires that she didn't make the final cut.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

I swear they all blend into one bland girl for me, yawn.

But thanks for posting their indiviual pictures carmen.

Nimue and Giedre are definitely my favourite in this ad! They shine the most to me because they seem to be in action and the others just seem to be posing.

I really like this so far.. It looks so surreal.
In terms of the comparison to the Balenciaga campaign... I don't think there are really any similarities besides the fact that they both use a group of models.. which I don't find to be copy-cat'ish at all. That said, Meisel really is the best photographer for group shots.

good lord, is that really so important?

 

[cheyqua]

Wow!!! I love this ad!! beautiful!!

 

[Verene]

^^ It's not that important, but carmen_kass is just trying to end the speculation about models. Kudos carmen.

 

[Deslin]

I like the ads very much. And thank you carmen_kass.

 

[Breathless]

truth be told, I am glad there aren't any new black models in these ads because none of the girls nor clothes stand out!

 

[mikel]

I can't get my eyes of this. Love these kind of groups shots.

 

[TommyGirl]

I like the pic, but yeah, models look alike..can`t tell them apart..

 

[Flashbang]

I can't get my eyes of this. Love these kind of groups shots.

Prada’s (Alleged) Crimes of Fashion

December 22, 2008 1:43 pm


Is it just us or does Prada’s new multi-model Spring 2009 ad campaign vaguely resemble an ultra-chic yet rowdy police lineup—without any overt markers like height lines and numbered placards, of course? Maybe it’s an overdose of Law & Order reruns and Richard Price novels, but seven girls, all similar in appearance, standing up against a wall feels vaguely criminal. Nonetheless, we’re sure that Nimue, Ymre, Sigrid, Giedre, Katrin, Toni, and Viktoriya are guilty of nothing, except for winning the genetic lottery and having names that make our spell check short-circuit. However, the Steven Meisel images, which are divided into deliciously tonal spreads of all beige, black, gold, and so on, do really make us want to go shopping. And for that, crime may very well be necessary. (Insert tasteless Bernie Madoff joke here.)

I prefer the first image too. But there is more action in the second shot.

I think the first image is more iconic - but I love the warmth and activity in the gold shot!
