Women's Miu Miu Clothing and Accessories:
The older sister Prada is elegant and chic, yet the little sis, Miu Miu, has a quirky nonchalance, with a certain air of sophistication. In 1993 Miucci Prada created a younger and affordable line and called it after her nickname: Miu Miu. The woman who wears Miu Miu is a hip party girl, who likes dressing up but with a relaxed attitude.
Autumn / Winter 2009 Show: Miu Miu gained recognition from inside the powerful fashion group, Prada, by creating its own identity. Each year Miu Miu closes the last women’s runway show at Paris Fashion Week and this year’s was saucier, and almost carnal, to a sound track from Histoire d’O, Fassbinder and Antonioni. Miu Miu demonstrated its own independence, presenting different types of Femme Fatale during the Paris Fall show.
The Miu Miu women is impossible to define with a certain 'je-ne-sais quoi' which sets off an aesthetic sensation - for Autumn/Winter 2009, she is ultra chic, minimalist, and elegant. On the A/W 2009 catwalk, she wears beige cashmere coats opened with only a nude bra underneath, accompanied by a wool scarf or fur. She likes crepe skirts opened at the back and in the front, tigers prints, and embroidered dresses with low necklines. A bit of colour was introduced with a play on transparency with red and green chiffon.
At the end of the show monochrome pieces are presented, embroidered with large and colourful gems. Sparkle covered knee-high socks introduces a bit of 70’s inspiration.
