Rising stars, established talent captured for Prada’s Spring/Summer 2015 menswear campaign

Miuccia Prada once again looked to Hollywood for her heartthrobs: the Italian designer’s new menswear campaign stars four of today’s most exciting leading men: Ansel Elgort (who appeared in the summer blockbuster “The Fault in Our Stars”), silver screen legend Ethan Hawke, rising star Jack O’Connell, and Miles Teller.

Craig McDean photographed the cast between London and New York, with a series of close-up images that see the actors interacting with tactile objects from knives to prisms, and which also switch between black and white. The collection’s leitmotiv, an overstitched graphic effect in contrasting color, is also shown off in the campaign, appearing on 1970s style lapels and collars. 

While the other thespians are relatively new hands, Ethan Hawke is a more established name, with the 44-year-old having first hit the big time with a break-through performance in 1989’s “Dead Poets Society”.
