The Prada Fantasy Spring 2012 lookbook once again revisits the collage theme. Unlike its Spring 2011 predecessor, however, this creative catalog takes on a retro theme. In particular, it focuses on the fun ‘50s and swinging ‘60s.
Lensed by Phil Meech, a freelance fashion photographer based in East London, United Kingdom, the Prada Fantasy Spring 2012 lookbook is nostalgically vintage. Like a teenage girl’s high school diary or scrapbook, the catalog is filled with abstract scenes that are at once surreal and romantic. Starring models Lindsey Wixson, Kasia Struss, Ginta Lapina, Fei Fei Sun and Daphne Groeneveld, the photo shoot showcases boldly printed dresses, cat eye glasses and fiery high heels.
Jereon Koolhaus and Lok Jansen created the mosaic artworks for the Prada Fantasy Spring 2012 cookbook.
