Prada announces today that actor, activist and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson will front the new soon-to-be-revealed Prada women’s fragrance, launching worldwide from August 22nd.
Watson, in her first collaboration with the brand, makes her directorial debut for the creation of the fragrance’s film short and is captured by photographer Harley Weir for the print campaign.
“Prada has always gone beyond traditional models and archetypes of conceived beauty and is famous for a femininity that challenges conventions. 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,” said Emma Watson, Actor and Activist.
With razor-sharp intelligence, dynamic elegance and an authentic multi-dimensionality, Watson is the embodiment of Prada’s disruptive new women’s fragrance, rewriting the codes of femininity on a perpetual self-evolution that is never the same, yet always genuine to her. Deeply connected to an engaged generation vocal about change and empowerment, Watson is a woman impossible to frame, wielding her influence in a way that inspires and motivates audiences of all ages and genders: the embodiment of the disruptive, encompassing spirit of Prada’s new fragrance for women.
“Emma Watson possesses an empowered elegance and a mindful, engaged spirit, determined for positive evolution – the perfect embodiment of Prada’s new feminine fragrance. Her sprawling body of work, from acting to activism, is beyond inspirational, each a signifier of her authenticity and ability to inspire emotion and speak to a young, engaged generation who demand authenticity,” said Yann Andrea, Prada Beauty International General Manager.
