While I personally think Prada is about as sexy as a thrift-store mannequin, there's no denying the brand's new two-minute promotional video is strangely hypnotic. There's also no denying it's a bit creepy, once you know that one of the models seductively stroking herself, Ondria Hardin, was 13 when the ads were shot. (The other two models here, Frida Gustavsson and Kelly Mittendorf, are 18 and 17.) Directed by fashion-photography superstar Steven Meisel (the guy who did Madonna's Sex book back in 1992), the video is part of the fashion line's fall/winter campaign.
