December 20th, 2011 Janelle comments (36)On the runway Prada’s Spring/Summer mix of car motifs and couch cushion patterns veered towards camp, but in Steven Meisel‘s stunning campaign imagery the very same looks are the perfect blend of elegance and kitsch. Only the very best campaigns can make you rethink a collection, by bringing out its essence. In Meisel’s shots Ymre Stiekema, Meghan Collison, Katryn Kruger, Natasha Poly & Elise Crombez preen at a gas station on vintage hotrods whose “spiky rear fins and bodies emblazoned with flames reflect the design motifs in the collection.” Press releases aside, the girls are phenomenal, the clothes are elevated to a new threshold and the chunky necklaces from the brand new jewelry collection look like a dream.

This is one amazing campaign. It’s gonna be hard to top this. Fave so far.
Only question is:
Where is Querelle and what’s Meghan doing in her place? What were they thinking…?

meghan looks odd but i like her pose. i also think natasha is amazing but what is up with that raised leg? it looks really weird and does not make sense.

Wow, Natasha for Prada!!! I guess she’ll have a Vogue Italia cover soon. Like the ‘prada-girl’ reunion. Would have died if Daria, and Sasha were in the mix. Nonetheless, I still like it. Anyone knows who shot the Mens campaign?

i adore elise crombez,my opinion why she isnt the onlygirl at prada… ymre, wow whata progres. i saw her in may in barneys, ches she was fat… this girl works in the gym… natasha poly, why why why her? iam bored of her honestly bored. i was happy when she got brunette again but why blond again no idea, and her face expresion so fake. Kati, steals this ad campaign, iam sooo happy that she is in. ever since i saw her i knew she would be damn big!

Must be nice to pick and choose when you want to work and having Meisel and Miuccia waiting with bated breath for your return. Go Meghan!

Guinevere is also in the campaign. There’s no Kati thank god.
Would have been the best casting if it were Querelle instead of Meghan.

Its official Meghan Collison is proving that a real muse can come back on her own terms

@ Sandy,
How was she ever a Prada muse?
Ymre and Elise, yes.
Meghan, maybe a Meisel muse.

i like it when meisel’s photos are inspired by paul outerbridge.
the last time it was really obvious was guinevere’s italian vogue cover & story for january ’08 – so it would make sense if she is included in this campaign also. she’s the classic “california” girl in both of these photographers’ eyes

They all look great, especially Elise and Meghan.
It seems like Prada’s early 00 ads, love it.
Don’t hate so much on these girls, they’re human beings like you and me. You saw Ymre in May and she was fat? Who cares? She looks amazing now. She’s not my type of model although she is gorgeous, but I wouldn’t get personal with anyone because of that.

This campaign is AMAZIIIIIIIIING!!!
Nobody can top Miuccia, seriously… if she’s not the visionaire for this – then the person behind this idea must be brought to the front!!!
The concept is so NOT Prada in the past, it brings so much freshness and excitement to the brand… I’m not sure how much Prada’s loyal customers will like this, but I CERTAINLY LOOOOOVE IT!!! ^_____^

re: ymre – we were on the subway together for about 20 minutes at the same time darko saw her – either in may or early june this year. wearing skinny jeans and looking amazing. fat would not be a word i would use to describe how she looked then.

i was lucky to see Meghan collison on the street ans asked her what the best decision she made was and she said switching agencies to next where they listen and care – instead of being told what to do like cattle – good for you Meghan , Next makes you look happier and an independent woman – bravo

This is IT! Miuccia delivers it perfectly, to a T!
Ymre and Meghan = tops
they deliver the campaign, the other girls are simply themselves in it. Katryn is good too.
Meghan for another Vogue IT cover!
