“A game, a thought, that through friendship and mutual respect has become true. When I was asked to shoot a short movie for Prada, I did not think that I could really be myself, but the reality is that in the total freedom I was given, I had the opportunity to reunite my favorite group of people on set and just have fun.

The chance to dwell on what the fashion world represents nowadays and the fact that it is accompanied by so many stereotypes is fascinating and at the same time a bit upsetting, but you definitely cannot ignore it.

It’s very refreshing to know that there are still places open to irony and wit and, for sure, Prada is one of them.”

MSQRD’s Review

Prada continues to amuse and entertain us with this short film directed by cinema veteran Roman Polanski. Mesmerizing performances by Bonham Carter and Kingsley, along with a richly layered set design provide for a colorful and humorous raw portrayal of our profound, and almost carnal attachment to luxury.
