Anyone who knows Miuccia Prada knows that she regularly finds inspiration that’s deeply rooted in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, and why not? Despite being in the midst of war, the forties accentuated femininity, the 50s glamour and the 60s were just wild fun times. It was in those periods that women’s fashion became part of history. It was also during those times that the female form was celebrated, and clothes were created to enhance a woman’s silhouette. Post WWII women oozed style and grace, which Miuccia Prada often tries to encapsulate in her fall and winter collections – the 2017 Fall Collection by Miu Miu was no exception!
The Fall 2017 Miu Miu collections didn’t disappoint. With clear influences from the 40s, 50s and 60s once again, Mui Mui’s most recent collection showcased classic womanly attire with obvious embellishments and an array of vibrant colour. If you’ve already managed to take a sneak peek at Miu Miu’s latest catwalk collection from the Fall 2017 Fashion Week in Paris, you’ll notice that there was fur and a lot of it. However, thankfully Prada has taken a leaf out of some of the other fashion houses’ books; it’s trying to move towards more of an ethical brand – it’s all faux fur!
Eccentric is an understatement when describing Miu Miu’s latest elaborate collection that recently showed in the Paris Fashion Week. Think post-WWII meets Siberian princess, and if you can conjure up such images, you’ll surely picture Miu Miu’s most recent Fall designs. Oh, and be sure to throw almost every colour imaginable into the mix!
Many would argue that Miuccia Prada’s modern collection with clashing prints and designs are over-the-top, but she’s managed to smash it up once again, getting everything perfectly right from the on-trend fur coat to embellished buckled boots.
Vivid and eye-catching are just two adjectives to use when describing Miu Miu’s latest stunningly eccentric fashion collection. There’s a real mishmash of shapes from bulky to dainty; these together with obvious 60s-style collars that dramatically go beyond the shoulder made Miu Miu one of the winners at the 2017 Fall Paris Fashion Week. As quirky as ever, there were also blatant hints of idiosyncrasy, such as knee-high fur boots, oversized colourful fur caps, sequined dresses paired with contrasting brogues, and miniskirts made from feathers!
How Miu Miu manages to include obvious hints of faux fur seamlessly into almost every single collection is beyond me. Expect to see plenty of wearable faux fur hats, caps, collars and daring wrap coats in the upcoming months – this trend’s going to be huge!
The 2017 Fall Mui Mui look is all about furry fabric and bold clashing colours; this is what ultimately helps give the latest Miu Miu items their bizarrely wonderful personality.
