Prada is renowned for its casting, both on the runway and in ad campaigns, and an appearance in either a show or campaign can help launch a new girl’s career. So, in addition to anticipating what innovative new creations Miuccia Prada will send down the runway each season, forum members eagerly wait to see which newly discovered quirkily beautiful faces will be modeling said creations. Another part of Prada’s model casting appeal is that they sign some of their girls to exclusive deals; making the Prada runway either the first or only runway they can walk down in Milan (or anywhere in the world if the model is signed to a worldwide exclusive). Here are the girls Prada seems to be getting exclusive with for Spring 2013.
