Wait, why did Adrien Brody and Willem Defoe et al walk for Prada?

Update- Okay, based on the “replies” I’m getting to this.. let me clarify my sarcasm.

Miuccia ran through some whole thing about how the collection was about power and how actors are exemplary of that and how models are actors and actors are models and some other crap that sounded silly and not all that well thought-out. For a vaguely “conceptual” designer, the concept of this show was lost on me. I found it distracting from the clothes and from any point she was trying to make, and I thought it detracted from the look of the show on a purely visual level. And it just seemed contrived. That’s it. Yes. Obviously “because they can” but go read further and you’ll perhaps see a bit more.

“…to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all.Certainly, the most popular, great painter of all time, the most beloved. His command of color the most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty.Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world…no one had ever done it before. Perhaps, no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.” - [x]
