The actor and activist fronts the campaign for a new Prada fragrance launching Aug. 22, photographed by Harley Weir in looks from Spring 2022. “Prada has always gone beyond traditional models and archetypes of conceived beauty and is famous for a femininity that challenges conventions,” she said in a statement. “It’s a pleasure to create a campaign and represent a fragrance with such a profound philosophical concept and sustainability initiatives in a way that feels genuinely real and relevant.” There’s more to come, including a short film that marks Watson’s directorial debut. The announcement also coincides with the launch of a new Prada Beauty Instagram account. {Fashionista inbox}
Fashion media’s bridal boom
Wedding coverage has become so popular for Vogue that it now represents 25% of its online traffic. For Business of Fashion, Diana Pearl writes of the star-studded, extravagant wedding of Ivy Getty, who wore custom John Galliano among high-powered celebrity guests. Vogue‘s write-up of it went viral across the internet, and a number of other publications are upping their wedding coverage in hopes of similar success. Brides, meanwhile, are angling more and more to get their weddings covered. {Business of Fashion}
