*SS17; Major Moment | Miu Miu

Hello darlings,

Another gorgeous and inspired collection to recap!

And this one comes from none other than Prada matriarch, Miss Miuccia.

For those that don’t know, Miu Miu is the sister line to the more elevated Prada collection.

And while both brands –

  1. come from the same creative mind
  2. have a similar aesthetic
  3. are similarly priced

…one has to wonder the difference.

Miuccia herself has stated that, “rather than being young, Miu Miu is immediate. Prada is very sophisticated and considered; Miu Miu is much more naïve.”

Immediate, eh?

Vogue.com deems the collection a response to the chaotic times around us.

Maybe? Maybe not?

Only Prada will know.

But none can deny there is a sense of reminiscent fun in this collection.

In fact, she is not the only designer to take us back to a period that he/she fondly reflects on (see Elie Saab).

Prada takes us back to the 50s and 60s’ seaside, with fun, optimistic prints, frills, florals and sea-shells.

It was all in the details: – skirts draped like beach towels, wedge sandals, swimming caps…

…all so beautifully glamorous.

It’s hard not to feel a sense of bubbly, retro excitement.

And as the last show of the entire season, Mrs. Prada closed Fashion Month on a high note – which, with an room full of exhausted industry professionals, is no easy task!

See the rest of the collection here.

Enjoy!
