Who will be the next face(s) of Prada?

[cul8tr]

Have you heard about scandal with Russell Marsh? He is accused of accepting bribes from IMG and Women to put their girls front and center in Prada and Miu Miu's casting. I hope that Sasha discovering and being a Prada girl wasn't result of getting money from IMG but that she's such a great model/person. And of course I hope that whole affair won't influance on her career (next Prada adds, or generally next adds and edds).

Our slow news day just picked up its pace. A lot. Fashionista.com reports rumors are swirling about a bribery scandal at Prada and Miu Miu. The label's casting director, Russell Marsh, purportedly accepted bribes from IMG and Women modeling agencies to put their girls front and center in Prada and Miu Miu ads and runway shows. Looking at runway slideshows, it's pretty clear Women and IMG girls get prominent placement. Sasha Pivovarova of IMG, after all, has appeared in over nine Prada ad campaigns. An e-mail supposedly from Marsh is circulating that says he'll be "going away for a while." Then again, it could be from a faux Marsh. Fashionista brought up the theory that a competing agency started all this in the hopes of getting its girls a fair shot with Miuccia's camp. Not unlikely. A Prada rep said she had no knowledge of the rumor and declined to comment. If it's true the label might get some good advice from the good people at Marc Jacobs, who are dealing with a bribery scandal of their own. Sigh. Oh, fashion industry...
Update: Tomaso Galli, group communication and external relations director for Prada, had this to say: "I can't believe this ... We have worked with Russell for so many years ... He is such a great guy!" And there you have it.

And I don't get the part about Meghan missing from the Prada runway this season... it's not like she changed agencies, nor did she ever open or close one of the shows.

Honestly, I think it has more to do with Fashionista not knowing that Supreme is owned by the Women Group. So to them it might appear as if her 'spot' in the show was bought out by Women. In all actuality she simply was shooting too many editorials and needed a break, so she skipped Milan and Paris.

Russell Marsh needs to wipe some brown of his nose.......

Rumor has it that Prada is set to join in on the resurgence the 90s supermodel. Often touted for being on the forefront of trends Prada could follow in the foot steps of Chanel and Louis Vuitton by using a 90s supermodel. Prada campaign photographer Steven Meisel is shooting Linda Evangelista reportedly for the Prada Fall-Winter 2008.2009 campaign. A trusted source tells us not to get over excited as Linda Evangelista could also be shooting a Vogue Italia Cover. So what do you think .....about Linda Evangelista for Prada?

Please no! I hate the whole revival of the supermodels thing, give the new girls a chance!

Linda Evangelista for Prada? They must be kidding ...

 

[weathergirl]

^i hope so, too, xPedro! she should've just disappeared entirely! she's not suited for Prada, TBH!

 

[cake_batter]

i agree. i was getting a bit sick of sasha but i'd kill to have her rather than linda. like why linda? if not sasha, there are so many prada-perfect new girls.

 

[allure2058]

I hope some uniquely compelling new face will come along soon that both Miuccia and Meisel fall deeply in love with. Who opens the show, gets an OG campaign, smack dab VI covers, and continued support from both of them.

Barbara Palvin would be cool...she looked amazing at Prada show: http://forums.thefashionspot.com/showpost.php?p=3997290&postcount=886

I think the next face of Prada is in Siberia now..or any other place in Russia..she has no clue yet what's going to happen to her

Kris Grikaite

 

[nouvellebeaute]

My lil dutch baby Liz Lucasse tbh

If Lulu wasn't a CK exclusive, I feel like she would be Miuccia's muse, ala Kris. Especially since both Meisel and Willy loves her.
She has Prada written all over her.

Do you guys think this girl will be the new Prada face? She's from the same agency as Kris Grikaite (Avant Models). I remember her agent said there's a chance that another girl (from Avant) could open the show in September.
Her and Kris might be sisters

I'm sorry to ask but without Meisel, is this even relevant?
I don't want to sound like a fangirl but Meisel had that power to really push a girl first introduced in a Prada show/campaign.
Willy doesn't get magazines covers and while Prada is still an important name in terms of modelling thanks to their history, i feel like people pay less and less attention to it.

She seems to be even smaller than Kris who is tiny for a model. And if Kris wears high heels in that photo it makes it even worse.

 

[nouvellebeaute]

Maybe Tanya Kizko

This photo was taken 1 year ago. She's about 174 cm now if I'm not mistaken.
