As co-creative directors of Prada, both Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have made no attempt to hide the fact they favor Willy Vanderperre as the brand’s campaign photographer. The Belgian lensman has remained a go-to of the creative twosome since as early as the Fall 2023 campaign installment, photographing a whole multitude of campaigns since – including the recent Holiday 2024 offering. As we enter a new year, Miuccia and Raf are evidently in the mood for change and commission Steven Meisel to shoot the Spring 2025 campaign. Meisel was last on the books at Prada for Holiday 2020. This time around, Meisel points his lens toward Carey Mulligan who poses solo in the Prada Spring 2025 campaign. Against a clean white studio backdrop, the British actress morphs into multiple different characters, sporting a variety of wigs and looks.
Carey Mulligan for the Prada Spring 2025 Campaign:
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Love both names. Hate the outcome,” immediately confessed TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu.
“I was SO excited clicking the thread, and now I’m sat here… deflated. Tragic to have switched it up from Willy Vanderperre to Steven Meisel, only to serve up another bland and lifeless studio shoot with a sterile white backdrop. An absolute sin,” cried out vogue28.
“Those wigs are evil. Underwhelming all around, even the posies feel half-hearted,” critiqued forum member Melancholybaby.
“I guess Cindy Sherman wasn’t available/interested,” andrew noted.
Thefrenchy asked: “What’s the point of spending 1M+ on a campaign if it’s to come up with some bland imagery that is nowhere near interesting?”
“Way too pretentious,” critiqued thiago.
“Totally giving us nothing,” MDNA chimed in.
