Timeless portraiture, endless individuality. Prada studies its models.
Willy Vanderperre's series of genuine and unadulterated portraits strikes a balance between spontaneous intimacy and refined formalism, encapsulating the unique personas of each of the 40 models in the show. Featuring both familiar and new faces, each woman is celebrated, granted individual space and agency in distinct portraits. The focus is dedicated to her and her attire, addressing the ever-evolving concepts of femininity. These portraits create a dichotomy between the individual and the collective, simultaneously standing alone and contributing to a broader body of work. They mirror not only the progression of the fashion show itself but also engage in a broader conversation about fashion as both a symbol of belonging and a marker of personality. Prada underscores the collaborative nature of the fashion profession.
