Fab Ad: Prada, Fall '09

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 05:50:22 PDT

When it comes to ads, we've almost seen it all: beaches, desert sand, wheat fields, sidewalks - you get the picture. But Miuccia Prada has managed to give us something we haven't yet seen for Prada's Fall campaign: models sitting in a puddle of oil. Juxtapositions are common in fashion and this is one of the slickest yet. Here we have delicate models Kendra Spears, Julia Hafstrom, Prada favorite Ymre Stiekema, and Anna de Rijk, in equally delicate gowns, dipping their feet in something not so delicate. Of course, their handy rubber Prada boots make this possible. Such moodiness wouldn't fly for Spring, but for Fall, it's perfect. What do you think - are you as captivated as I am?

Fab Ad: Prada Resort '09

Miuccia went all-out glamorous in her '09 Resort campaign and I like it. The ad, shot by Steven Meisel, features dutch model Ymre Stiekema holding on to Prada's embellished bags. I like how her full frontal face shot demands attention. Ymre's black zip jacket makes for the perfect backdrop against the colorful satin bags and I fancy her green bedazzled nails. One would think that so much glitz would overpower a model, but not when it comes to Ymre. Her strong features go perfectly with Prada's dazzling designs. What do you think?
