Luxury fashion house Prada knocks it out of the park with its cinematic high-fashion campaign that marks the celebration of the 2024 Chinese New Year. The aesthetic of the marketing initiative zeroes in on paying homage to the Year of the Dragon which is considered to symbolize prosperity and good fortune in the Chinese zodiac.
The high-fashion campaign features deep and vibrant colors, drawing inspiration from arthouse cinema. This works well with the festive atmosphere of Lunar New Year. The images showcase touching portraits of supermodel and actress Du Juan and Zhao Lei, known for his role in Yang Fudong’s film 'First Spring.'
Set in the historic Prada Rong Zhai residence, Prada's high-fashion campaign brings together the visions of fashion and art photographer Leslie Zhang and musician LinFeng
