Prada Privatesphere Holiday 2023 Campaign Triggers Our Reflection on Elon Musk
/
AOC’s first reaction to these Prada holiday, model-focused images has nothing to do with buying gifts for friends and family this holiday season.
Prada and the Future of Humanity
Anne’s response was focused on a deeply-felt anxiety that she would feel so much better if Prada Group owned Starlink, X and SpaceX — rather than Elon Musk. The ‘l’enfant terrible’ with a massive daddy complex can keep Tesla.
“The constantly forward-thinking ethos of Prada for humanity has broadened to his desire of adventure and to brave new horizons: space,” Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada Group marketing director, stated with the announcement that Prada is partnering with Texas-based Axiom Space to design the lunar space suits for the hopefully-glorious 2025 Artemis III mission.

/
Charaf Tajer‘s pre-Spring 2024 Casablanca Campaign makes a sophisticated play for a monied, athletic elegance and varsity chic-inspired cafe-society crowd.
The romantic mood of the movie ‘Casablanca’ itself ebbs quietly through the campaign, signposts for a WWII cafe society crowd that embraced classic notions of honor, loyalty, friendship and duty in a 2024 global political climate that’s testing all those values — and turning them inside out.

We do not know the cause of death, which has been described as a “sudden illness” that claimed his body and earthly existence just 10 days after his arrival at Moschino.

/
Kim Kardashian returns to Marc Jacobs [IG] for a 2023/4 resort collection launch, bringing her platinum Rapunzel tresses with her. Kim also appeared in the fall 2023 campaign.
Tyrone Lebon is behind the lens, capturing Kim’s shimmering silver corset top and silvery gray embossed stipe jeans, styled by Alastair McKimm.
Kardashian’s self-discipline leaves us incredulous, being an engaged mom to four kids, an entrepreneur and businesswoman in multiple enterprises, a lawyer in training with a focus on prison-reform and wrongly-imprisoned people, and a committed gym-rat who works out two hours a day.
Some of the best people in fashion and retail — Angela Ahrendts, former CEO of Burberry and EVP of Apple Retail, for example — are on KK’s team today.
On the one hand, Kim’s touch is everywhere but her management partnerships now cross two-three other Kardashian-Jenner businesses including Kylie’s new Khy apparel brand.
Read MoreOyadeas! The Burberry Holiday 2023 Campaign Is A Splendiferous Emotional Getaway
/
Oyadeas! I simply adore Creative Director Daniel Lee’s Burberry Holiday [IG] 2023 campaign. ADORE IT!! It’s charming, genuine, not camp but quiet luxury gone a tiny bit wild.
Roe Ethridge [IG] shoots this precious masterpiece, with creative direction by Carina Frey and Stefanie Barth.
The logo fully communicates Burberry without ruining the larger-image, buy-me item. He’s leaving before you can be annoyed with him — sort of like an apparition. He’s like “Chill, Anne, I’m leaving.”
Actually the Burberry knight reminds me of the Tribute of Light show outside my high-floor, lower Manhattan window after Sept. 11 in New York. Tribute always came to visit us and even stayed the night. But then he was gone when I woke up, off to bring a bit of hope and serenity elsewhere in our complicated world.
For a couple years we tried to trap him for at least a cup of morning French Roast, but Tribute always outsmarted us, slipping out the window at dawn.
Read MoreBillie Eilish for Horsebit 1955 Demetra Bag in Tyrell Hampton Campaign November 2023
/
Billie Eilish is back at Gucci and let’s applaud that move. Without question Billie is a bridge between the respective visions of the two creative directors — Alessandro Michele and now Sabato De Sarno.
For Gucci, Billie Eilish has teamed up on a greenish version of their iconic Horsebit 1955 bag. The new version is crafted from Demetra, a 75% plant-based, animal-free material that has been produced in Italy since 2021.
Gucci launched sneakers made of Demetra two years ago. The bags also use recycled ECONYL nylon made from regenerated ghost nets, carpets, and pre-consumer waste. Prada and Burberry were leaders in the development of ECONYL with products coming to market in 2019. Demetra is tanned in accordance with Gucci’s century-old standard practices.
