After all, friends of hers whom she respected were tending to farms and rearing sheep thanks to apps like FarmVille. Wouldn&#8217;t they also play with jackets, and jumpsuits, and jewelry, she figured? Fast forward to October 2019\u2014after a seven-year run as the Global Content Director of Net-a-Porter\u2014Yeomans finally launched her virtual vision, Drest, to the world. Since then, the app has teamed up with a wide range of luxury labels, including Gucci, as well as added a host of CGI-ed supermodels (Natalia Vodianova and Irina Shayk, to name a few) to its 3D avatar lineup, but perhaps its most exciting collaboration yet launches today: an interactive partnership with Prada that allows users\u2014known as stylists\u2014to get creative with the Italian house&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/prada-spring-summer-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spring 2021<\/a> collection, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons&#8217; much anticipated first collaboration as co-creative directors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;I remember once I was visiting [Miuccia Prada] in her office and she said to me, &#8216;Anyone can be creative but to be a real genius is to be creative and commercial,&#8217; and it always stuck with me,&#8221; recalls Yeomans, who has been working hand-in-hand with the Prada team on bespoke props and stark backgrounds, not unlike those one would find on a real Prada set. (Pulling text from the brand&#8217;s dialogue-inspired campaign, one such display asks, &#8220;Do you ever feel like a machine?&#8221;)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18241 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/03\/02-drest.gif?w=506\" alt=\"Drest\" width=\"506\" height=\"900\" data-gz_credit=\"Credit: Courtesy of Drest\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A unique Prada photoshoot and Mood Board challenge, meanwhile, will be live in-game for 72 hours. <\/span><span class=\"s2\">&#8220;I think it\u2019s one of our first almost wholly monochromatic challenges that we\u2019ve done,&#8221; Yeomans says with a laugh of the &#8220;very style-able&#8221; 23-piece edit, which includes a lot of black, white, and grey ready-to-wear\u2014and, of course, the season&#8217;s star Cleo shoulder bag. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;For those who want to get closer to the brand\u2014and can now feel like they can have agency pulling it all together\u2014it&#8217;s like a dream come true,&#8221; she continues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For others, the virtual experience is also an opportunity to test out which Prada purchases to make IRL (and without even leaving the <span class=\"markv3xc2yq1h\" data-markjs=\"true\" data-ogac=\"\" data-ogab=\"\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-ogsb=\"\">Drest<\/span> app). &#8220;There\u2019s always one thing that I have to have [from Prada&#8217;s collections],&#8221; says Yeomans, who is quick to share that she has her eye on a grey wool cut-out sweater and a pair of kitten-heel slingbacks, which are available in both rose and ivory. &#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019ll probably game with pink and buy the white,&#8221; she notes, pausing. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;What\u2019s amazing about playing this game is, because it\u2019s virtual, you can be more daring&#8230; [Within the app] I find myself going again and again for that pink pair of slingbacks. One day I know that I\u2019ll be like, &#8216;Actually, you know what? I need the pink slingbacks because I can see what they\u2019re doing to my outfit&#8230;.'&#8221; And then, just like that, she&#8217;s sold: &#8220;So I\u2019m going to say the grey top and the <em>pink<\/em> slingbacks.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18294 size-large\"
