MUSE TWENTY FANZINE

THE EXISTING NEW

By MADDALENA IODICE

Miuccia Prada shows us when fashion becomes a style transcending time and the art of re-engaging with the existing to create meaningful novelty.

The Fall/Winter 2022 Miu Miu collection Miuccia Prada unveils her antidote to meaningless novelty and quotes last season incomparable echo, creating clothes formed from the same codes. Indeed Miuccia uses the existing to create the new as the Spring/Summer 2022 impactful silhouette becomes a starting point for an idea worthy of reexamination, contemplation, expansion. Methodologies are re-applied to new clothing forms, re-engaging with concepts that still feel of purpose. Proportions find new balance, and Upcycled leather gets new shapes as oversized embroidered coats are worn on impalpable lingerie elements, while tennis-sporty obsession is rendered through brief pleated skirts and argyle knits. Miu Miu girlishness, such a fundamental part of the brand persona, infuses a casting spectrum made of different identities free from gender binaries, enhancing Miu Miu’s invitation to interpret a style with our own sense of self and reminding us what the wise art of re-work is. When an idea becomes a mindset, it can last for more than a fleeting moment. 

“A power can be found in girlishness and femininity, a strength in tenderness, a wisdom in youth.”

-MIU MIU FALL WINTER 2022
