Have you always wanted to appear in a Prada ad but were too afraid you weren’t exactly model material? Well, good news! Apparently, to model for Prada requires no experience! Okay, so it may not be that easy, but that is the exact aesthetic Hedi Slimane was going for with his first ever Prada ad! So, who exactly are these boys? These boys are Louis and Claude Simonon, sons of Paul and Tricia Simonon, bass player and manager of The Clash. Merely British school boys, the two have never modeled before! According to WWD, Prada said the brothers were photographed “in moments of reflection and introspection. It is a symbolic yet understated approach to desire in men’s wear; a new classicism with a rebel edge.”
The fear and anger in the faces of these boys is bone chilling. Hmm…could this be reflective of our current economic state. Normal people, angry and afraid. Dear Mr. Slimane, you hit the nail on the head.
Thanks NY Mag!
