And, Action!

VIDEO – PRADA FALL/WINTER 2013 WOMEN'S ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

And, Action!

Under the glare of the spotlight, and the watchful gaze of the casting director, nine young hopeful actresses take centre stage and prepare for their close ups.

The hunter and the hunted, watching each other like wild beasts.

One by one they are selected and cast aside like slides in an ever revolving carousel. A dance between reality and fiction, these women are not who you think they are…

Prada Womenswear Fall/Winter 2013 Campaign

Sophistication and raw sensuality come together in Prada’s fall/winter campaign, shot by Steven Meisel in New York. A stellar ensemble of fresh new faces such as Amanda Murphy and Kristine Froseth star alongside iconic, era-defining stars like Christy Turlington and Freja Beha. They inhabit seductively stark scenes, the pivotal characters in an enigmatic portrait of femininity.

Gazing from scuffed leather chairs or industrial stools, with oil slick hair and hyper real complexions, the models magnetically command our attention. When the camera moves closer, the effect intensifies. The models gaze through gleaming eyewear, their insouciant expressions countering the high polish of the frames.

Stark lighting, cloud-grey walls and naked floorboards are the severe canvas for a rich palette of autumnal hues, exquisite furs and glistening leather. This intoxicating mix of the raw and the refined captures the duality at the heart of this new campaign, and Prada’s new take on femininity.

Campagna pubblicitaria Prada Donna Autunno/Inverno 2013

La raffinatezza si fonde ad una cruda sensualita’ nella campagna Prada Autunno/Inverno 2013, fotografata da Steven Meisel a New York. I volti nuovi di Amanda Murphy e Kristine Froseth emergono accanto a icone di stile che hanno definito un’epoca, come Christy Turlington e Freja Beha.

Protagoniste di un’enigmatica rappresentazione della femminilita’, riempiono con il loro fascino uno scenario spoglio. Modelle dallo sguardo magnetico catturano la nostra attenzione, osservandoci da poltrone in pelle rovinata o da sgabelli industriali, con i capelli lucidi di olio e l'incarnato iperrealista. Man mano che si avvicina l’obbiettivo, l’effetto si intensifica. Ci guardano attraverso occhiali scuri con un'espressione indifferente, che contrasta con la superficie riflettente delle montature.
Luci estreme, pareti grigie irregolari e pavimenti in legno grezzo fungono da sfondo severo a una miscela di sfumature autunnali, splendide pellicce e pelle lucente. Questo connubio inebriante di grezzo e raffinato cattura la duplicita’ che sta alla base della campagna, e della nuova interpretazione che Prada da della femminilita’.
