Luxury fashion house Prada unveils a look at the new In Conversation with a Flower campaign that spotlights its designs for the Fall/Winter 2023 season. The co-ed campaign features familiar faces and explores deep into humanitarian themes that highlight an authentic emotion through a perspective described as 'enduring.' The campaign sees five actors that are communicating unique feelings besides blooming flowers meant to evoke a metaphor.
These stars include "Benedict Cumberbatch, Hunter Schafer, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Letitia Wright, and Li Xian." They are seen next to the large life-sized florals that represent different sentiments. All of their varying demeanors are matching the flowers that they are paired with. For example, Li Xian looks across at the flower wearing inflated outerwear and a metallic tote as the floral also stands tall.
