Never a dull moment...
I was just paying my weekly visit to the lovely Hanneli's blog when I saw that she posted the just released video campaign for for Prada's SS11 collection. I've explained before how I feel about fashion videos and how I feel most of them are sort of hit-or-miss, but given the awesomely quirky styling and equally fun print ads for this collection, we could only assume that a video campaign would be just as great! What impresses me the most, is Miuccia Prada's ability to constantly change inspirations, styles, and aesthetics each season, while somehow keeping the core of the Prada woman (whatever you may describe that as) consistent. Whether I love every piece of every collection each season or not, I have always thought and will continue to think, that Miuccia can do no wrong!
The song is Mirando by Ratatat, and Steven Miesel shot the print ads but I am not sure who did the video. As usual, enjoy!
Edit: My good friend the lovely Dani D left a comment on this post pointing out how you can definitely see the references to Josephine Baker not only in the hair and makeup (obviously) but in the model's wildly freeform dancing. I then stumbled on this video of Miss Baker's amaaaaazing moves.
