It’s no secret that photoshopping is widely used in fashion and advertising. Nowhere is this more evident than in ad campaigns shot by Steven Meisel, and the Prada Spring 2010 ads are no exception. Youthful model Rasa Zukauskaite has the complexion of a Barbie (minus any sign of a tan) in these simplistic shots.
Aside from the heavy-handed retouching, the Prada Spring 2010 ads are beautiful. The stark, white background really allows the beautifully printed outfits and crystal detailing take center stage.
