Miu Miu - Fall Winter 2024 - Runway Show Selection

"Let’s pretend for an impossible moment that we know nothing about Miuccia Prada, Miu Miu or the intellectual framework and history around them. In that state of innocence, it’s perfectly possible to look at this show and just mumble along happily to yourself: ‘Oh, nice long coats! Those are smart suits. What brilliant colors. Ah, it looks pencil skirts are back. Nice knitted cardigan jackets. Someone’s going to jump at those rose-printed dirndls. Those ’50s/’60s dresses—love them. And, what, wait, is that actually fur?’
And so on. Because this collection was packed with great, wearable, straightforward, real, unmessed-about-with clothes (well, except for the ‘fur’ lookalikes, which were shearling). People representing a couple of generations were wearing them—cheery, for a change. And with that, it’s so very tempting to say, thank you, basta and goodnight! Because does thinking and talking about fashion always have to feel like an intelligence test?"
