Miu Miu - Runway Review
Björk’s lyrics on the soundtrack seemed to say it all: “Violently happy!” Miuccia Prada’s Miu Miu army stomped down her lacquered beige runway in some fabulous footwear, paired with pants (the designer’s current obsession) that appeared to have migrated from the Prada runway in Milan. Plenty of whiffs of dandyism were evident in the late sixties/early seventies vibe of the garments; you could almost see Sir Paul or Mick Jagger rocking one of these androgynous suits on stage. It was a tad hipster meets classic Miuccia color palette: mustard, blue, magenta—all packaged intuitively with deco flowers. The tunic and pant ensembles cast a flattering silhouette on the body, while suede tunics embroidered with reflective sequin discs were nothing short of party-ready.
Miu Miu - Runway Review
She designed the collection in 15 days. Yep, you read that right. Miuccia Prada—she who showed Western-folk art patterned tooled leather boots with 3-D roses, she who showed Provençal prints all patchworked together—had the chutzpah, not to mention undeniable talent and financial backing, to deliver such a clear-cut collection. The A-line skirts, the bra tops with off-the-shoulder capes, the trapeze dresses and A-line coats—all in somewhat mundane colors like gray and burgundy. It was Miuccia blending multiple trends from the season in one. The best part? They were still simple to wear.
We can’t wait to get ourselves these fabulous shoes from Miu Miu’s Spring 2012 collection!
Runway Review: Miu Miu Fall 2011
by Americana Guest Blogger, Jim Shi
Not to beat on a dead horse, but this season’s most-oft-used word, classic, best described Miuccia Prada’s take on Miu Miu. Stiff shapes, color blocking and signature sparkly heels helped shape a collection that boasted coats with wide shoulders (they narrowed as they fell), flimsy blouses and easy-to-wear skirts. The silhouettes are not easy to pull off—unless Buzz Lightyear is your desired look come fall. Scattered across silk blouses and dress were pretty jeweled Lily of the Valley sprigs and dandelion flowers. To help offset the shoulder-heavy frames, collars came in contrasting colors that helped develop a more grown-up focus.
Miu Miu
Leaving summer’s conversational prints behind, Miuccia Prada offered a print-free zone for Miu Miu for fall. Instead she concentrated on floral appliqués and cute scalloped hems as her key decorative devices. But there was no froth or frill; this was clean and simple with a slight 60s slant. Channeling this subtle Mary Quant 60s vibe meant silhouettes went one of two ways: either narrow A-line or structured bell shapes—but always short. Trimmed with scalloped edges, appliqué flowers, formal collars and string bows, this collection focused on the neck. A series of short dresses featured some with navel-grazing scoop-necks worn with bandeau tops while others were high-necked sleeveless shifts with a flicked pelmet hem. Elsewhere there were puff-shouldered coat dresses with shaped waists and bell-skirted tunics while second-skin ribbed sweaters were paired with flared treggings and a micro skirt with the flicked pelmet. Black was the central color, with pops of bright orange and violet, tempered with nude beige and lilac.
