Ad Campaigns & Catalogues #08






Prada Fall Winter 2008/2009

Prada has updated their website to the new fall winter campaign. Looking really slick with a blue overtone to the pictures, they feature 80's super model, Linda Evangelista and also male model, Patrick Petitjean (what a name:-). The campaign is shot by Steven Meisel, who is the superstar photographer shooting for many luxury brands.

I love the way the lighting gives a contrasting effect and also the model's shadows in the background which adds another dimension to the pictures.

The close-up product shots gives a good look at some key accessories for fall winter 2008/2009. Somehow, that green loafers (SGD $720) is speaking to me. As does the pointy grey slip-on dress shoes. Very streamlined in shape. I notice footwear at Prada all features slightly more squarish toe in the dress shoe department. It's been a while since squarish toe shoes appeared in fashion. And lastly, the pair of shoe with a flap and mini buckles gives off a biker feel:-) Pretty chic.

All of these shoes are now in Prada store at Paragon. Do check them out.

  2. I'm glad Prada is featuring more 'squarish' shoes.

    The new Prada campaign is awesome. Linda Evangelista still makes me swoon.

  3. Yes, those loafers look pretty cool:-) If I have not gotten my lanvin loafers recently. I probably will get those. Colour is cool.:-)

    and ken, yes, seems square toes are resurfacing..but the square portion is very slight. I also feel this season, the soles for dress shoes are slightly thicker and chunkier.

  5. Very nice. And Petitjean is my favourite male model. But have you seen him with the beard? I think he looks even more cool with that..

  6. Ahah Joseph, I like that one as well. The light grey one?

    And yes Jens, I believe Petitjean was featured on GQ style, spring summer 2008 issue. I just find him too scruffy with that look. I like guys a bit more clean up and if with beard, some stubble. No long facial hair.:-)

    He looks great in these pics!

  8. I can't find the shoe on prada's website. All they have are sneakers, loafers, sporty influenced shoes but no dress shoes.
    The dress shoes with the square toe is my favourite!:-)

  9. Tried on the Green loafers yesterday evening. Very nice patent leather with subtle aging effect which make it vintage looking.

    It is very refreshing and will definitely complement a casual get up with white shorts and clean pressed shirt. Throw over a jacket (optional) and you will electrify. ;-0

    Didn't have time to decide then as I was rushing to a dinner appt. So I have reserved these to try again today. ha ha. I have a funny feeling i'm gonna cave again.
