The Prada Holiday 2023 campaign invites the audience into a serene, celebratory journey through the cosmos, led by a star-studded ensemble including Damson Idris.

Under the lens of acclaimed photographer Willy Vanderperre, Idris, alongside Maya Hawke, Louis Partridge, and Kim Tae-Ri, found himself encapsulated within a glistening bauble, symbolic of a voyage across personal dreamscapes.

This season’s campaign, creatively directed by Ferdinando Verderi, transforms the historic 1913 Prada boutique’s checked marble floors into a gateway to the galaxy.

It blends the familiar with the fantastic, the boutique’s heritage with the boundless potential of space, captured through Vanderperre’s visionary eye.

Each star in their own right, Hawke, Idris, Partridge, and Tae-Ri, are not merely models but narrators of their own stories, with Prada’s holiday attire as their chosen vessels for exploration.

These garments are not just clothing but tickets to a metaphorical journey, with Idris and his fellow talent portraying an air of contemplation and anticipation for the adventures that lie in the folds of the universe.

The campaign imagery is a juxtaposition of time and space, past and future, memories and expectations.
