Miu Miu Fall 2012

fashionologie — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 11:26:40 PST

>> Miuccia Prada is having a trousers moment. Today's Fall 2012 Miu Miu collection was chock-full of them, and earlier this month they dominated her collection for Prada as well. In fact, the designer is so into pants this season that she told WWD they were "the only thing exciting" to her currently.

She certainly has found some interesting ways to work them. The pants on offer at Miu Miu were jauntier and more playful than the ones on display at Prada and came in a jumble of shimmering jewel tones and supersized patterns. These were more mannish, too, cut wide down the knee and cropped at the ankle. Paired with matching '70s-style sportscoats and loudly patterned blouses, the look was chic in a nerdy-kitsch, leisure-suit way.

>> Gareth Pugh doesn't currently participate in couture, but he recently took a crack at a showstopping bridal gown - for his best friend and longtime collaborator, stylist Katie Shillingford, who was married last Friday. Shillingford wed Alex Dromgoole in the 1930s Art Deco-style Eltham Palace of Greenwich, England, wearing a custom pale grey slashed chiffon Pugh dress, complete with a trail that hung from her shoulders and a veil created by Stephen Jones.

Shillingford's bridesmaids - including Dazed & Confused and Another's Karen Langley, who helped design the wedding cake - wore black striped knitted dresses by Craig Lawrence, and Shillingford changed in a Fall 2011 Gareth Pugh gold dress and Fall 2011 Miu Miu shoes for the reception.

Miu Miu Resort 2012

fashionologie — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 09:22:03 PDT

>> While many used their Resort 2012 collections to go beachy - a number of designers even trying their hand at swimswear for the first time - it's clear that Miuccia Prada was thinking holiday instead. In amongst the oversized gingham check and eighties-y lightning bolt prints of Miu Miu's Resort 2012 collection were party-ready balloon minidresses, piles of costume jewelry, and strappy glitter heels - the collection will hit stores near the end of the year, after all.

Miu Miu Changes Direction with Hailee Steinfeld's Fall 2011 Campaign

fashionologie — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 11:36:07 PDT

>> After nine seasons of color-saturated Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott-shot ad campaigns, Miu Miu is going in a new direction, courtesy of Bruce Weber, who shot the latest Miu Miu muse - 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld - for the label's Fall 2011 campaign. Steinfeld first began a relationship with Miuccia Prada at the beginning of the year, when she wore Prada to the SAG Awards, according to her stylist, Karla Welch: “Miu Miu is such a perfect fit for her. Throughout awards season, they were the dresses she wanted to wear.” She went on to attend the Miu Miu show in March as a special guest of Miuccia Prada. [TFS]
