As co-creative directors of Prada, both Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have made no attempt to hide the fact they favor Willy Vanderperre as the brand’s campaign photographer. The Belgian lensman has remained a go-to of the creative twosome since as early as the Fall 2023 campaign installment, photographing a whole multitude of campaigns since – including the recent Holiday 2024 offering. As we enter a new year, Miuccia and Raf are evidently in the mood for change and commission Steven Meisel to shoot the Spring 2025 campaign. Meisel was last on the books at Prada for Holiday 2020. This time around, Meisel points his lens toward Carey Mulligan who poses solo in the Prada Spring 2025 campaign. Against a clean white studio backdrop, the British actress morphs into multiple different characters, sporting a variety of wigs and looks.

Carey Mulligan for the Prada Spring 2025 Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Love both names. Hate the outcome,” immediately confessed TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu.

“I was SO excited clicking the thread, and now I’m sat here… deflated. Tragic to have switched it up from Willy Vanderperre to Steven Meisel, only to serve up another bland and lifeless studio shoot with a sterile white backdrop. An absolute sin,” cried out vogue28.

“Those wigs are evil. Underwhelming all around, even the posies feel half-hearted,” critiqued forum member Melancholybaby.

“I guess Cindy Sherman wasn’t available/interested,” andrew noted.

Thefrenchy asked: “What’s the point of spending 1M+ on a campaign if it’s to come up with some bland imagery that is nowhere near interesting?”

“Way too pretentious,” critiqued thiago.

“Totally giving us nothing,” MDNA chimed in.

We genuinely do not know where you have been if you didn’t already know that Yeliz Cice has since departed Vogue Netherlands as editor-in-chief, with Linda Gumus Gerritsen now installed at the top job. Over recent months, we’ve bared witness to Gerritsen putting her mark on the Dutch fashion title, with Malgosia Bela making an appearance and a whole entire issue being dedicated to Amsterdam. Next up on the cover of Vogue Netherlands is Ugbad Abdi. The Somali-American beauty graces the December edition via the lens of photographer Wikkie Hermkens. Styled by Sonny Goo, Abdi takes to the streets of New York City in the cover photograph, and strikes a pose in a look from the Prada Fall 2024 collection.

“Beautiful!” immediately described DK92 upon checking out the cover.

“Drop dead stunning. I have to admit I forgot about Ugbad Abdi. Feels like forever since I last saw her work. This comes as a very nice surprise,” enthused aracic.

Ihbbl shared the same level of enthusiasm. “Wow, this is marvelous. Ugbad looks her absolute best here. This is great!” they applauded.

“Refreshing to see this regal girl nabbing a solo Vogue cover with the editorial team zooming on the only thing that should matter here: her beauty,” forum member alwaysademo admired.

“She looks gorgeous and the editorial is great!” heralded WAVES.

Another night, another glamorous outing in the chill New York City weather. However, Elle Fanning had just the antidote for it, as she looked like a literal ray of sunshine in a stunning Prada gown and Cartier pendant for “A Complete Unknown” premiere. On Friday, Fanning graced the red carpet with a warm and summery appearance to promote James Mangold’s Golden Globes-nominated biopic. The actor wore a butter yellow strapless gown with pockets from the luxury fashion brand, almost matching the color of her beautiful blonde locks. She then paired her elegant ensemble with a gorgeous sapphire neckpiece from Cartier.

Elle Fanning pairs custom Prada gown with pockets with Cartier jewelry

Elle Fanning attended another premiere night for her upcoming film “A Complete Unknown” in a stunning Prada gown. Not to mention, the outfit comprised features for convenience, such as pockets, besides serving utter elegance on the red carpet. Fanning’s strapless gown with a structured bodice combined warm hues of butter-yellow with the chills of the city to create a masterpiece look that lit up the event. Besides exposing her chiseled collarbones, the dress had an exaggerated waistline with ruffles and a straight-fit skirt that gracefully touched the floor. 

Flaunting her bare shoulders, the actor accessorized with Cartier jewels to match her ensemble’s warm, summery tones. Fanning collaborated with stylist Samantha McMillen, the mastermind behind her chic appearance, to dress for the occasion. The duo finessed the look, pairing the custom-made designer gown with the yellow sapphire necklace from the luxury goods conglomerate. In addition, the 26-year-old sported a tennis bracelet and posed on the red carpet with her hands inside the comfy pockets. She topped it off with a sleek hairdo — courtesy of makeup artist Erin Ayanian — a bold-looking red lip and classic winged liner.

Elle Fanning recapped the NYC premiere of “A Complete Unknown” in a series of Instagram photos, flaunting her summery Prada gown. In the biopic, she stars alongside Timothee Chalamet to play the role of Bob Dylan’s girlfriend while Chalamet portrays the singer. Fanning previously wore a Gucci dress from its 2025 cruise line for the upcoming film’s Los Angeles premiere.

OK, we can admit that here at theFashionSpot, we’ve become extremely critical of Prada’s advertising campaigns. You might not be able to blame us either. After all, the luxury Italian fashion brand’s mainline campaign imagery over recent seasons lensed by Willy Vanderperre hasn’t quite hit the spot. Prada co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons may have heard our pleas for change, enlisting Reto Schmid to capture the 2024 Prada Galleria handbag campaign. The Swiss photographer makes for a welcomed and refreshing change, pointing his lens toward Ella Rattigan, Ornella Umutoni, Amanda Murphy, and Lexi Boling. The cast of models pose within a cinema setting for the occasion, captured amidst a cinematic viewing experience while toting different variations of the Prada Galleria handbag, originally introduced in 2007.

Ella Rattigan, Ornella Umutoni, Amanda Murphy & Lexi Boling for the 2024 Prada Galleria Handbag Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I like the mood, the retro vibe, and that it’s not a white background,” instantly approved kokobombon.

“The bag is super tacky, but campaign elevates it at its possible max” confessed TashaRose.

“This campaign is stunning,” raved Overindulgence. “The warmth and moodiness of this campaign is what Prada should be about. Happy to see that Prada can still give it!”

Sharing the same level of enthusiasm was vogue28. “This feels like classic Prada, I am loving this campaign imagery which takes me back to Prada circa 2008. A massive upgrade from recent campaigns. The mood here is lovely, love the muted color palette and the inclusion of Lexi Boling.”

“The shot with Lexi is very reminiscent of ‘Old Prada’,” Frederic01 echoed.

The year 2024 has been pretty good for Nina Garcia. After all, the ELLE editor-in-chief (who has served as the magazine’s figurehead since 2017) has welcomed a whole plethora of buzz-worthy talents as cover stars. Names like Penélope Cruz, Vittoria Ceretti, Nicole Kidman, Dua Lipa, Anya Taylor-Joy, HoYeon Jung, Lisa (of Blackpink), Tyla, and Kylie Jenner have fronted the magazine throughout 2024 alone. Garcia (unsurprisingly) closes out the year with the annual ELLE ‘Women in Hollywood’ issue for December 2024/January 2025. In the process, Demi Moore, Danielle Deadwyler, Mikey Madison, Selena Gomez, Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, Cynthia Erivo, Saoirse Ronan, Julianne Moore, and Tilda Swinton cover the ELLE year-end offering. Photographers Collier Schorr, Cass Bird, Felix Cooper, and Micaiah Carter were called upon to capture the women, each decked out in pieces from the likes of Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Loewe, McQueen, Louis Vuitton, and Prada.

The 2024 ELLE ‘Women in Hollywood’ Covers:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“They are all quite nice,” immediately approved mikel.

“They are OK. Most of them look lazy. Nothing good. This year was a strange year for US ELLE,” forum member Xone chimed in.

“All of them look nice. I like Julianne Moore/Tilda, Cynthia Erivo and Saoirse Ronan,” shared ivano.

“Great lineup. Danielle Deadwyler has the best cover,” declared Hchloe.

Blueorchid commented: “They’re all pleasant and non-offensive. Not great, but it’s fine.”

“When you have Demi Moore, Demi Moore is all you need. I’m able to admire the styling on the Cynthia Erivo cover but my most fave is Demi’s, without a shadow of a doubt. My biggest pet peeve with a multi-cover selection is when there is zero cohesion, and there’s none here,” voiced vogue28.

“All the cover stories look way too pedestrian for my taste,” MModa critiqued.

Since becoming British ELLE editor-in-chief in 2022, Kenya Hunt has been on a mission to reinstate the magazine to its former glory. Throughout 2024 alone, Hunt has managed to secure Lashana Lynch, Naomi Campbell, Margaret Qualley, Raye, Little Simz, Jodie Comer, Alicia Vikander, and Precious Lee have graced the British fashion publication. However, the covers themselves haven’t exactly hit the spot. Up next on British ELLE for November 2024 is Letitia Wright. The Guyanese-British actress makes a return to the magazine’s front cover for a third time, exactly two years after her last. Photographed by Christina Ebenezer and styled by Rudy Simba Betty, Letitia poses in a Prada dress from the Italian fashion house’s Fall 2024 collection (and also features in this season‘s Prada campaign).

The November 2024 Cover of British ELLE with Letitia Wright:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“UK ELLE loves Letitia Wright. She’s been on the cover three or four times now. Not so much on UK Harper’s Bazaar,” tigerrouge pointed out.

“I love the cover, styling, and photography,” praised forum member MModa.

“Love the cover. Letitia Wright’s skin tone is glowing in contrast to all the colors,” admired Urban Stylin.

Vogue28 commented: “Keep seeing this in the supermarket and while I love that purple backdrop and the Prada look on Letitia Wright here, I cannot help but feel this cover is very… glum. A smile or different pose from Letitia might’ve elevated this somewhat, because she’s looking very stiff, miserable, and uncomfortable in that particular cover shot!”

We stan Harper’s Bazaar France hard here at theFashionSpot. Following the magazine’s triumphant relaunch in 2023, covers starring the likes of Catherine Deneuve, Amelia Gray, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Layla Etengan have blown us away. Olivier Lalanne adds Irina Shayk to his impressive list of cover accomplishments with the unveiling of the October 2024 edition of Harper’s Bazaar France. The Russian beauty, who swept up at the Dolce & Gabbana, Isabel Marant, and Coperni shows during the recent Spring 2025 season, poses for Anthony Seklaoui. In the cover shot, Shayk seemingly works up a sweat and slips on Cano water, sporting damp hair and a Prada jacket, as chosen for the occasion by cover shoot stylist Elodie David Touboul.

The October 2024 Cover of Harper’s Bazaar France with Irina Shayk:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“HORRIBLE! Irina Shayk is the example of a beautiful woman who everything she does seems cheap,” critiqued DK92 the moment the cover dropped.

“I want to know what secrets she’s privy to for her to be booked THIS much,” chimed in marsnoop2.

“Irina’s hair on the cover is a hard pass for me. You have to work to make her hair unattractive. Why would you do that?” asked jeremydante.

In complete agreement was vogue28. “I adore Irina Shayk but this ain’t her finest hour on the cover of a fashion magazine. Not a fan of the lank and damp hair or drinking the Cano water. It makes no sense whatsoever, and everything just feels like an afterthought,” he complained.

“Why did they choose the worst photo for the cover?” questioned Alquimista.

“This is not the best shot of Irina Shayk,” MModa confessed.

It should perhaps go without saying that we’re massive champions of all things M Le Magazine du Monde here at theFashionSpot. The supplement to the iconic French newspaper Le Monde constantly goes all out in an attempt to impress, leaving the mainstream fashion titles in the dust. The publication’s ‘Spécial Mode‘ edition a few weeks back won us over completely, paying tribute to the people and culture of the Netherlands. M‘s latest fashion special sees photographer Oliver Hadlee Pearch and stylist Charlotte Collet take Paris during the Fall 2024 Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week back in June. In cover one, Karlie Kloss gets a helping hand from a team of creatives, dressed in Alaïa. Eva Herzigova has a moment in the spotlight on cover two, decked out in a floor-length Balenciaga creation while Ida Heiner poses in Prada on the third and final cover offering.

The Covers of M Le Magazine du Monde with Karlie Kloss, Eva Herzigova & Ida Heiner:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Loving these new covers. The modeling is fierce, with attitude, which one would hope to see more often,” heralded philophile.

“The covers with Karlie Kloss, Eva Herzigova, and Ida Heiner and the accompanying editorial is awesome! M Le Magazine du Monde put many of the mainstream magazines to shame,” Urban Stylin enthused.

“They do! They absolutely do,” replied vogue28 in complete agreement. “I love each of those covers photographed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch. The casting is fabulous, love the inclusion of Karlie Kloss, who I believe has the best cover here. I adore these types of backstage fashion stories, and this one is executed to perfection!”

Yet not everyone was so forthcoming. “Damn y’all are always talking about Ethan James Green being obsessed with Steven Meisel but I think Oliver is his biggest fan,” commented helmutnotdead.

“I do not like the fashion editorial by Pearch because these stories look messy and this one is no exception. I also did not miss seeing Karlie Kloss at all,” MModa shared.

Over recent weeks, we’ve been enjoying and living for ‘The Fashion Issue’ of D la Repubblica, which is essentially the magazine’s take on the big fall fashion issue. This Fall 2024 season, at the request of D la Repubblica editor Emanuele Farneti, Loli Bahia and Naomi Campbell have become cover girls. Volume #3 sees Rianne van Rompaey grace one of the three covers. The Dutch beauty, firm forum favorite, and model-of-the-moment posed for Tim El Kaïm. In the cover photograph, Rianne van Rompaey is styled by Jacob K in a head-to-toe Prada look from the Italian fashion house’s Fall 2024 collection, and seemingly pays tribute to the late Edith Bouvier Beale (also known as Little Edie) from Grey Gardens.

The Cover of D la Repubblica ‘The Fashion Issue’ Volume #3 with Rianne van Rompaey:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Very Grey Gardens,” immediately pointed out mikel.

Phungnam96 echoed: “Oh this is absolutely Grey Gardens!”

“Love her, love it!” simply commented a satisfied Chipmetrai.

“The ‘Rianne and the Blooming Flowers’ fashion story by Tim El Kaïm is absolutely beautiful. Love it,” raved forum member MModa.

“Always knew of Edie Bouvier Beale but only watched Grey Gardens a few months ago. Massively into the cover story with Rianne van Rompaey. It’s all been executed to perfection and I love the styling from Jacob K. The colors are divine, and of course, Rianne being Rianne, embodies the character wonderfully,” voiced vogue28.
