Lanvin: "Duck today, darling?"

LANVIN FALL 2013 CAMPAIGN BY STEVEN MEISEL
A duck as an accessory? 
I would have seen it and 'understood' it had Miuccia Prada decided on a bloody duck. 
But Alber Elbaz??
As a matte of fact, the entire ad feels like a Prada ad to me. The subversive hair a la Edie, the extravagant fur coat just thrown over causally, the glossy bag, silky shift and the pop art necklaces....all very Prada indeed.
Where I associated Lanvin previously with jewel-colored silky shifts paired with glossy jewellery and noir makeup. This is a shift towards fun and irony in the everday lux, the successful wave Prada has been on for a while now.
