After her sumptuous Miu Miu Resort show, with all of its long, elegant dresses, and her stunningly fashion-intensive coed Fall men’s and Pre-Fall Prada womenswear, this is the lookbook for Miu Miu Pre-Fall. Considering all that activity, she can be forgiven for getting back to a few core basics—if we can avoid sounding ridiculous in calling them that, because Miu Miu in regular mode is anybody else’s glittery, decorated, and cute.
It’s also super-teeny, the inspirational teen in question being Lady Diana Spencer in the ’80s, on a supposed trip to the Austrian Tyrol. That’s shorthand for exaggeratedly frilled shirts, Tyrolean flowers on hand knits, dirndl corsetry, broderie anglaise smocks, and walking boots. The future Princess of Wales was never photographed in gold leather underpants, otherwise she’d never have become the Princess of Wales, but hey, that’s a literal thought too far. What are very Lady Di—and indeed Mrs. P—are the white cotton and lace-trimmed collars. It turns out that they are purchasable as stand-alone accessories. As we said, cute.
