Summary:

  • Prada presents the Holiday 2026 visual project titled Drawing Prada Animated by Hand under creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons.
  • Glen Luchford and veteran animator John Pomeroy combine live photography with physical hand illustrations for the imagery.
  • The cast features Chen Haoyu, Luther Ford, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Maya Hawke, and Sadie Sink in stylized winter settings.

When you track how fashion houses assemble winter campaigns, you notice a recurring shift toward historical visual techniques. Under creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the Milan fashion house presents Drawing Prada Animated by Hand for Holiday 2026. The project pairs still photography and short films with traditional cel-style illustration rather than digital rendering. Glen Luchford photographed the campaign. Animator John Pomeroy directed the hand-drawn artwork, while Luchford calibrated camera perspective and lighting to match those drawings. Ferdinando Verderi directed the visual campaign, placing five actors into stylized winter environments alongside illustrated animals.

The cast brings together five performers with backgrounds across independent cinema, theatre, streaming television, and music. Chinese actor and singer Chen Haoyu, known also as Amy Chen, joins the roster following a national tour of the stage play "Prima Facie". Her screen work includes the period drama "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and twenty additional television series, alongside her 2025 solo music record "A Love Letter To Oneself". British actor Luther Ford joins the group after playing Prince Harry in season six of the Netflix series "The Crown". Ford previously performed in the Apple TV series "Criminal Record", the BBC production "King & Conqueror", and Ira Sachs' feature "The Man I Love", which competed at the 79th Festival de Cannes in 2026.

Kelvin Harrison Jr. adds extensive screen experience to the visual project. His film portfolio includes "12 Years a Slave", "Elvis", "Chevalier", and voice performance in "Mufasa: The Lion King". Harrison also joined the 2026 release "The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping", holding past honors from the Screen Actors Guild and BAFTA nominations. Maya Hawke shares the frame with Harrison. Hawke continues her role as Robin Buckley in the Netflix series "Stranger Things", alongside appearances in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", Wes Anderson's "Asteroid City", and Bradley Cooper's "Maestro". Hawke released her fourth album, "Maitreya Corso", in 2026, while preparing roles for the 2027 film "Wishful Thinking" and the Netflix drama "The God of the Woods".

Sadie Sink rounds out the group. Sink gained global recognition through "Stranger Things" and Darren Aronofsky's drama "The Whale". Sink earned a Tony Award nomination on Broadway in "John Proctor Is the Villain", debuted on the London West End stage in "Romeo and Juliet" under director Robert Icke in 2026, and joined "Spider-Man: Brand New Day". Sink also produces and stars in the forthcoming A24 feature adaptation of Emma Cline's novel "The Guest".

Pomeroy brings fifty years of studio animation experience to the project. His team illustrates every background and creature on paper, aligning with Prada's focus on manual artistic methods. When you examine the final compositions, you see vintage cinematic storytelling combined with contemporary fashion portraiture. You view the campaign visuals and purchase pieces from the collection through the official Prada store.
