Watch: Fantasy chess games for Prada

Chess has gotten a lot more stylish thanks to the new Prada Fall/Winter 2012 video campaign starring supermodels including Magdalena Frackowiak and Anne Vyalitsyna.

The abstract video is a continuation of Miuccia Prada's "virtual princess" theme from her Fall 2012 show, with acclaimed fashion photographer Steven Meisel shooting the campaign as a fantasy game of chess.

Other top models including Vanessa Axente, Madison Headrick, Elza Luijendijk and Iselin Steiro also appear in the ad, which showcases the Italian label's geometric prints and sleek trouser suits.

Prada is famed for its highly creative fashion films, having scooped accolades such as Best Online Video at the Fashion 2.0 Awards back in February this year for its colorful Spring 2011 campaign featuring Arizona Muse and Mariacarla Boscono.
