So thematic was Prada’s retro-inspired spring 2012 collection that it was always destined to end up at the centre of editorial after editorial (after editorial).

Of course, you can leave it to Paolo Roversi to be completely unfazed by all that’s gone before, sidelining the rockabilly hot-rod elements in favour of a honed-in look at the ladylike details of the collection. His shoot for Vogue Italia scrapbooks colour (albeit faded with a vintage veneer) photos of a very classically styled Arizona Muse atop black and white nudes.

The final mix is indeed visually creative and unique.
