I don’t normally review brand’s secondary lines (because I have to draw the line somewhere, and this season I’ve reviewed 62 shows and that is enough) but I always review Miu Miu because it is one of the last shows of Paris fashion week, which means we are free from runway coverage for at least another month or two (until resort starts. But I just ignore resort.)
Anyway, this collection fit in well with some of the themes we’ve been seeing at the other catwalk shows, notably the hideous printed suits at Louis Vuitton and Prada. Except Miu Miu added a retro twist, or, shall I say, copied outfits from the late 60′s and early 70′s and put them on the catwalk. It was scary business, unless you’ve been invited to an Austin Powers party, in which case, Miu Miu has just the costume for you.
I love…
some of the flirty late 60's/early 70's references in this collection. But most of them aren't very nice
I loathe…
iridescent mustard double breasted suits.
printed suits. There are too many of these on the catwalks this season, and they aren't cool.
suede tunic suits. The 60's/70's references are to obvious, designers are supposed to add SOMETHING contemporary.
print mix disasters.
