A Sneak Peek Of Prada’s Upcoming Menswear Campaign – 19/1/10


Recently we scrutinised promos from Chanel and Louis Vuitton (see January 8’s article), and now it’s time for Prada’s Spring/Summer 2010 menswear campaign to come under the MO Down microscope.

Click here to see footage of this campaign, produced by one of China’s most celebrated contemporary artists, Yang Fudong. This 9-minute film depicts Prada-clad models floating through the skies of 1930s Shanghai using umbrellas. Like Chanel’s YouTube promo, it is filmed in black and white.

We are impressed by this campaign so far. Prada are constantly innovating their art and cultural forays, which is spreading the word on the brand ever-so-subtly. We also think they are clever as they have chosen a celebrated historic Chinese artist, which will generate additional buy-in (a.k.a interest) from consumers.
