THE DAILY GASP: Prada Film Goes Grease Lightening In a Glam Gas Station Stare Down

Edited by

Miuccia Prada has greased her lightening for the go. In fire bolt shoes and heartbreakingly ornate Susie Homewrecker dresses, the Prada Spring 2012 campaign video, shot by Steven Meisel,  is a proper glare-down at the gas station. In effects like lacquered tail light frames and appliqués of dimensional lace, they pursed their deep red lips and charged at it like an old fashion drag race (and not entirely unlike RuPaul’s, because bitches are fierce). Bejeweled along collars, engines revving at the shoes, they’re off! We win.

Backpedalling with Prada: Brand Insists Miuccia’s Met Exhibit Comments “Taken Out of Context”

Edited by

The Elsa Schiaparelli-Miuccia Prada Costume Institute exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is still months away, but why not get the buzz rolling early on? Backstage after her celebrity-filled men’s show in Milan, Prada appeared not too enthused about the upcoming exhibit, saying: ”It’s too formal. They are focused on similarities, comparing feather with feather, ethnic with ethnic, but they are not taking into consideration that we are talking about two different eras, and that [Schiaparelli and I] are total opposite.

Pitt Crew: Prada Taps Michael Pitt for Spring 2012 Campaign

Edited by

Feeling cinematic, Prada chose actor Michael Pitt, of Boardwalk Empire fame, to front their spring 2012 ad campaign, shot by David Sims. For their fall 2011 ads, Prada similarly paired Sims with another actor — the rather unlikely choice of Tobey Maguire — but if Miuccia is known for anything, it’s her love of quirk. And while Pitt is no model, he certainly photographs well. Pics after the jump!

Fashion Week Just Got Ugly

Edited by

“Let the best one win.” So says Mario Boselli head of the Italian Chamber of Fashion in response to news that Milan will keep their original fashion week dates next fall. This creates an overlap between New York and London, meaning like a child of a broken home, editors will have to pick which city they love more and which city they’ll see only on holidays and the occasional drunken weekend.
