“They are also the recurring features of her work (which has appeared in Miu Miu campaigns, and galleries around the world). Prada is best known for her hyper-realistic pencil sketches and collages of pop-culture images, from Calvin Klein ads to Madonna album covers, all of which coalesce to form her ‘lexicon as a queer female artist’.

For her collaboration with Wallpaper*, Prada combined images from the 1976 Ultimate Book of Nudes by David Vance with some of our favourite red lipsticks from brands including Byredo, Pat McGrath, Chanel and more. She discovered the book in an advertisement in Playgirl magazine, which she collects and archives, especially issues from the 1970s.” – September issue of Wallpaper*.
