Prada S/S 2013 by Steven Meisel

I really, really like this. The clothes look so good, plus the majority of the cast is fantastic.

I'm in love with Vanessa and Raquel's black background shots, they feel so beautifully Prada to me :heart:
 
wowww i just want to keep looking at it!! sasha!! vanessa!!
 
this is soooo wrong, like some diffusion lookbook or advertorial. the clothes look completely unflattering! and who cast saskia?!
 
THIS CAST IS SO FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best Prada campaign in a long time...since Sasha probably. Portraits work perfectly here and make a collection (which admittedly looked awkward on the show's 5'8" youth in flats) suddenly modern and full of character. The restraint is palpable here.
 
Needless to say, it's a great cast. These ladies are absolutely stunning.

I must be the only one who isn't ever impressed by Meisel. I know he's a demigod of high fashion, and to go against him is to speak blasphemy... But, I always find his work so disposable and unremarkable. Even after all these years, I find his photography so forgettable-- and flat. It's very fashionable and hits all the ctiteria of how high fashion points because he's afforded only the best of everything; models, styling, makeup and hair... but it's always lacking in character.

I long for when Prada created a unique atmosphere and mood, like those legendary campaigns with Glen Luchford, or the stark simplicity and severity of Peter Lindbergh. Those campaigns and photographers leave a strong impression on me, even after all these years, because they go beyond just the fashion.
 
I feel like they could have done something more. But totally agree on the great cast.
 
I think people like this just because it's Prada. To me the casting is great but its just not that good, it's dull and oh those outfits are still one of the worst this season. NO ONE even Sasha can save this collection!!!
 
Let's not forget to thanks Ashley for casting these models
Thank her for what? Casting only one MOC out of a possible ten?

How lackluster, which surprises me since I'm usually fond of Meisel's studio shoots. This looks like it could simply be a 'collections' editorial for 10 Magazine or Dazed & Confused. I wish they had somewhat gone the 'gimmick/cliche' route, like "La Cité Des Anges" by Demarchelier for Vogue Paris Oct 2005, or "Think Pink" by Meisel for VI April 2005. Maybe it'll grow on me like the S/S 10 did.
 
this is how a campaign should be. It sells the product. Even though I wasn't keen on the collection but the campaign really make it looks like a very strong collection. And the cast is just fabulous. Perfectly suitable to sell this particular collection.
 
EPIC casting! Although they photoshopped the models faces way too much...

Can't wait to see these in print!
 
Sasha!!!! It`s everything this collection needs! Simple and clean! Dying!!!
 
Prada ads never dissapoint, the cast is so freaking amazing, Amber, Kristen, Sasha, Eva!!!:woot: And I like the collection so much more after seeing these ads which is definitely the mark of a successful campaign. And theres something so 90s about it in its simplicity, absolutely love:heart:
