A vivid sense of beauty and of the beautifully real.
Character is not lacking. A prototype wardrobe, firmly anchored in the present, encompasses swimwear, sportswear, evening dresses, lightweight wool and cotton drill tailoring, elaborate embroideries, soft leather, and suede. There are also low-waisted pleated skirts with high leather belts cinching the hips, ruffled skirts, overcoats in golden damask fabric, day dresses embellished with rhinestones, jackets, bermuda shorts, culottes, and drawstring pieces. Presented in the new Miu Miu SS24 campaign, the materials have undergone washes and alterations, proudly bearing the marks. Light cottons and linens are treated to evoke precious vintage pieces. Memories are traced on surfaces and imprinted in seams. Value is given to the story, perpetuating it and learning from it. Purpose and function are subverted. Pairings surprise: a swimsuit with a beaded cocktail dress; a striped T-shirt with a gold brocade skirt. The meaning of the garments creates harmony. The style is irreverent but always aware, expressing the complexity, layering, and diversity of today’s world. Time drags slowly and flies away. Expressions and gestures change. The spirit is outwardly rebellious one moment, gently introspective the next. Dominating is a mood of positivity, joy – of lives lived to the fullest.
Chic, seemingly disordered, crafted with washes, tears, suedes, and marked leathers—an amplification of time passing that expresses previous use, existing love. Not by chance, May Andersen, Emma Corrin, Angel Haze, Lexie Liu, Demi Singleton, and Cailee Spaeny are the protagonists of the press campaign for the new Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2024 collection. A series of bold portraits that stand out for their simplicity and vitality, captured in a deliberately indefinable space. Guiding the narrative is the sun of Los Angeles, casting shadows from various angles along its daily path, while the ocean froths outside. The cast is diverse, featuring actresses, singers, and models in motion; the bags overflowing with personal effects are a complete package of luxury and utility. Are they about to leave or return home? Headed to the beach or coming back? Each possesses a unique beauty, exuding a sense of immediacy, individual physicality, and mastery of their attire. A radical expansion replaces rigid paradigms.
