Update: Prada’s Spring Collection Lands 48 Covers (Way More Than We Originally Counted)
By Leah Chernikoff
Last season it was Miu Miu, specifically that one appliqued dress, that kept appearing on cover after cover. This season, Prada’s spring 2011 is sweeping the glossy covers (though Dolce & Gabbana’s spring collection is making a run for it, too). So far Prada’s colorful stripey bananas collection has seen 48 covers 15 covers (that we’ve counted) and starred in countless editorials. That’s over triple the number we initially tallied. Thanks to the good people at Prada for sending us their cover clips (and we didn’t include men’s or tabloid covers).
Amanda Seyfried landed the cover of two major glossies for April–US Elle and Marie Claire UK–and wore Prada on both. Abbie Cornish is wearing the same green striped dress on the cover of Australian Harper’s Bazaar that Seyfried is wearing on the cover of Marie Claire UK. If you needed any further convincing that Prada’s spring collection is the cover star of the season, Anna Wintour herself is wearing Prada on the cover of WSJ. magazine.
Are we leaving any out? And which cover do you like best? I still like Gisele’s Vogue China cover–but now I think Avenuel is my fave. Which is yours?

Gisele is the worst, dont like her posing, slouching with legs wide open in a skirt- no way
Love both Elle covers and 10 is runner up
I love Anna’s. It’s different and attention-grabbing.
I actually really love Gisele’s cover. Also, Cornish Harpers is pretty sweet. The rest dont seem as exciting

Who does Prada’s PR?
I think the question should be how much was Prada’s advertising budget??
Its all about the $$$$

When we shot the Spring campaign here at Pier 59 Studios, we had no idea it would turn into such a cover super star!

Not a fan of Gisele or Prada spring 2011 but she does look very pretty on Vogue China.
Abbie is getting better roles but I hope she sticks with the independent stuff…

Prada is on the new cover of Velvet too!
It is crazy how a singular or collection can create so much publicity! I believe that the reason this collection works so well is because, similar to the Miu Miu, it is easy to recognise and when people recognise something a lot, they’ll see it as a trend and want to purchase it. I especially like the cover with the striped floppy hat. I would buy the magazine for that image alone.
I love the stripped floppy hat and the orange and pink dress Amanda wears on the Elle cover. The range is fun, crazy and colourful! Pity winter has just arrived on our doorstep but all the more reason to look forward to spring!
Prada is on the cover of the magazine FD Luxe this month too.. the Elton John cover for Pop is DEF my favorite so far, haha.
