Miu Miu SS21 collection

Yesterday afternoon, on the last day of Paris Fashion Week, Miu Miu unveiled its SS21 collection with a show hovering between digital and physical, set in a set recreating a white and pink sports hall. 

Here are 5 things you need to know about Miu Miu's fashion show at PFW.

Miu Miu Club

For her Miu Miu SS21 collection, Miuccia Prada invites her international community of women in a space both physical and digital, recreated by AMO: a completely white stadium, interrupted by bubble pink sections. While the models walk by, from maxi screens placed on the shocking pink walls in sound-absorbing foam, the Miu Miu Club guests, like in a zoom call, watch the show, showing their reactions in real-time, alternated by a series of technological animations.

The collection is a clash of opposites

The proposal for the SS21 is a clash between sport and girlie elegance.

This Miu Miu collection is about polarity. Sportswear and evening wear, a moment of reality, a moment of fantasy. In life, you need both. You are never one woman – you are many Everything is focused on opposites. Sportswear and evening wear, a moment of reality and a moment of fantasy. In life they serve both. They are two well-defined moments: either you dress elegantly or you wear something to disappear. You are never one woman, but many women together. - Explained Miuccia Prada - You want to dress up, but you have to live in the real world. It is about the complexity of people, women. 

This mood hovering between pragmatism and sophistication results in mini sequined shorts to wear under sporty boxy jackets; crystal-encrusted tops combined with tracksuit pants; coats with colorful stripes that alternate with dresses with bows and transparencies; blazers and bomber jackets with graphic lines; pullovers with multicolor stripes; pointed collar shirts and baby dolls.

Candy accessories

Along with coats, psychedelic jackets and dresses, the models wear soccer sneakers with high heels, sandals and shiny mules covered with crystals. This hyper-feminine and playful mood also characterize other accessories, such as sunglasses and colored plastic earrings. The Miu Belle in matelassé nappa leather is also back in candy and mini versions.

The many women of Miu Miu

The new collection of the Milanese brand is made of many different little pieces to mix together, combining different souls, sport and vaguely kitsch, flirty elegance. So many shades as many are the women wearing them:

The attention is focused on single pieces. - Mrs Prada explained - Because in this way you can be a mix of different women. Provocative, conservative, extrovert, reserved. With many pieces, you can describe more. More than one woman. And so you dress with various personalities, memories of lives.

The debut of Lila Moss

Like mother, like daughter. Lila Moss, daughter of Kate Moss and the co-founder of Dazed and Confused, Jefferson Hack, appeared for the first time on the catwalk. The eighteen-year-old opened the Miu Miu show, a brand with which she has already collaborated for the SS20 campaign and the FW20. Lila, with her doll face, made her debut with Marc Jacobs' beauty campaigns in 2018 and July 2020.
