Prada have been running ads similar to these in our newspaper suppliments. I'm not quite sure what the message is supposed to be.
Are they saying that the people who buy their goods are a little 'unreal' or that they are just a facade?
It is difficult to tell whether the women are real and 'plasticised' or mannequins edited to look more realistic.
What a strange image! Good catch...I, too, am confused. Maybe Prada is moving into the Pleather industry, soon.

'bout the mannequin, it certainly lets me feel a bit uncomfortable...
I guess they're playing with that sentiment for marketing.
Anyway... I HATE FUR COMMERCE ! (don't know if it' real so sorry if it is not)

I hear ya on that. I could understand having to use fur back in the primitive days to stay warm...but nowadays with the Goretex and amazing microfiber fabrics it seems rather pointless. Ah well.

Unfortunately, it's a status thing. Like the anti-fur slogan - "It takes 20 dumb animals to make a fur coat but only one to wear it"
Now I'm not being rude but the faces of the girls look for the life of me look like a Jolt illustration.
