Unknown Teen Model Becomes Prada’s New Face

Having just checked out Prada’s A/W 2011 campaign, we were surprised to see a new face – so new, in fact, she’s never even walked a catwalk.

Having just checked out Prada’s A/W 2011 campaign, we were surprised to see a new face – so new, in fact, she’s never even walked a catwalk.

So just how did 17-year-old Kelly Mittendorf bag such a huge campaign with no experience in modelling? Well, we’ll just have to assume that Miuccia Prada, like us, simply fell for her unique look.

Captured by Steven Meisel alongside fellow models Frida Gustavsson, Ondria Hardin, Dorte Limkilde, Antonia Wesseloh, and Julia Zimmer, we think ethereal looking Mittendorf evokes a youthful appeal and is a face we will be seeing a lot more of in the future. Let’s face it, when your very first major modelling job is a Prada campaign, big things are surely ahead!
