The ‘Prada Days of Summer 2025 Campaign’ Finds Wisdom in Calm Waters

The ‘Prada Days of Summer 2025 Campaign’ Finds Wisdom in Calm Waters
Prada [IG] releases its ‘Prada Days of Summer 2025 Campaign’ lensed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch [IG] with creative direction by Ferdinando Verderi and designers Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons.
Prada is known for being one of fashion world’s most intellectual brands.
Pearch’s calm waters are distinctive in the summer campaign images. Of course, AOC turns to the lessons of history to consider not only the waters, but also the faces of the campaign traveling in small boats.
The symbolism and mythology of calm waters have been the source of contemplation and meaning across all continents and religions in the history of humankind.
A Lesson from Icarus for Elon Musk
In the Greek myth Icarus likely saw his reflection in the calm waters of the sea — as he plunged to his death. Ignoring the advice of Daedalus that he not fly too close to the sun — or his wings would become dysfunctional as the wax holding them together melted — Icarus could not resist separating himself from the rest of humanity as a sun god.

Tod's Emerging Talent 'Italian Diaries' Campaign for Gommino Driving Shoe
Tod’s unveils Italian Diaries, a campaign that honors the brand’s legendary Gommino driving shoe, embraced by five emerging talents with rich artistic backgrounds: actress and singer Ella Bleu Travolta, musician Lennon Gallagher, writer and director Stella Banderas, model and artist Roberto Rossellini, and singer and actor Leo Gassmann.
Set at Villa Talamo amidst the stunning, ancient Tuscan scenery, photographer Oliver Hadlee Pearch [IG], shoots the campaign in black and white, while the Gomminos breakout in full-color images on social media and the Tod’s website.
As a symbol of Italian culture and craftsmanship, one that represents Tod’s expertise and attention to small details, the luxury brand is part of a larger renaissance of the Italian story, one that AOC is studying in great detail.
How do we create cultures that thrive for centuries — even with an egotistical madman at the wheel and democratic ideals thrown to the curb? We’re about to find out. It’s not as if Italy — and the rest of Europe also — haven’t been down this road before.

/
De Beers Jewellers has been rebranded as De Beers London with a new campaign celebrating the company’s roots in London and southern Africa, with the tag line “True brilliance comes from within.”
Top model Adwoa Aboah launches a new campaign for De Beers London called Portraits of True Brilliance. In addition to her career as a model, Aboah is a mental health activist and new mom.
This name change reflects the brand’s new attitude, which is female-focused and proud of its roots in London and southern Africa. Much of that pride is well-deserved because De Beers in Botswana is making historic changes outlined in AOC’s July 2023 post Botswana and De Beers Renew Long-Term, Progressive Diamond Mining Partnership.

/
Actor Sydney Sweeney is behind the wheel of Jimmy Choo’s [IG] Summer 2024 campaign, ‘Road to Joy.’
In my life, AOC has never asked “Who did it better?” But after reading ‘Dazed’ describe Sweeney preparing for her Jimmy Choo roadtrip as packing up her stuff starting with a “few pairs of cunty stillettos”, I couldn’t help laughing and then reflecting on one of the sexiest roadtrip campaigns that I remember.
Jimmy Choo creative director Sandra Choi had to see the ‘Euphoria’ star in her scorching ‘old convertible breakdown in the Palm Springs desert’ June 2022 campaign for Tory Burch Miller sandals.
Clearly Choi decided that she could do it better, being a visionary for Jimmy Choo. This is a great decision, if you’re bringing plenty of prove-it ammo to the gunfight.
It’s close, as to which Sweeney campaign wins — because they are sisters.

Model, actor, mother Laetitia Casta covers the August 2023 issue of Harper’s Bazaar France. Actually, the issue is devoted to her in a series of fashion stories.

In their introduction, Harper’s France [IG] captures much of Casta’s enigmatic personality:
“Laetitia Casta surprises, surprises herself, and pops up where she is the least expected. Insubordinate and disciplined, wild and faithful, exposed and discreet, wise and punk, obvious and enigmatic, principled and tolerant, she is a complex and fascinating whole. And it continues to fascinate. If there is a Laetitia Casta mystery and poetry, this issue comes as close as it gets.”
