Enchanting


Prada is stepping out and dreaming big for Spring 2008. The clothing and handbags feature dreamlike, whimsical illustrations. Fairies and nymphs are a refreshing alternative to the typical floral prints. Some of the skirts and dresses are detailed with peacock feathers, which compliments the collection, adding to the beauty and inventive flair of the pieces.

The nymphs feel like an influence of archetypes from Jungian philosophy. Mythical representations from dreams and fantasies. The ad campaign is similar in its use of mystifying images that echo a late sixties, early seventies album cover. These advertisements look straight out of the Cirque du Soleil show LOVE, which is a tribute to The Beatles and is wonderful if you haven’t seen it.

Prada's spring collection and ads are bold and daring and I love it.
