First off, Miu Miu. I kinda get it, I kinda don’t. They’re trying to be all rebellious and stuff, right? “Rebellious esprit,” as one of those snippets said. But like, rebellious with *expensive* clothes. Isn’t that kinda… a contradiction? I dunno. Maybe I’m just old.
And then there’s this “fluctuation between a naïve spirit and iridescent subversion.” Iridescent subversion. What *is* that, even? Sounds like something you’d find in a pretentious art gallery, not on a skirt. But hey, maybe that’s the point? Get people talking?
This Fall 2025 collection… seems to be all about “plainer clothes and stripped-back” looks. Which, okay, fine. Maybe people are tired of the over-the-top stuff. But plain Miu Miu? Isn’t half the appeal the weird, slightly off-kilter details? Like, the thing that makes it *Miu Miu* instead of just… a beige sweater from Old Navy (no offense, Old Navy).
They’re “rethinking markers of femininity” with “basic pieces” for Winter 2025. Okay, so basic pieces can be feminist? That’s… interesting. I mean, I guess anything *can* be feminist if you squint hard enough. You know? Like, a toaster oven can be feminist if a woman uses it to bake a cake for her all-female book club. Or something. I’m rambling now, aren’t I?
And then there’s this “Swiss Movement” thing. Now, I’m assuming that’s not literally meaning the clothes are powered by tiny watch gears. I’m thinking it’s some kind of… I don’t know, metaphor? Like, the clothes are precise and well-made? Or maybe it’s just a clever marketing buzzword. Honestly, who knows these days? Brands just throw words at the wall and see what sticks.
The whole “shot and directed by Tyrone Lebon” thing with “young creatives” in “raw-edged clothes”… feels like a formula. Every brand does this. “We’re cool, we’re authentic, look at these young people doing cool things in our clothes!” It’s like, okay, yeah, I get it. You’re trying to sell me a lifestyle. But are those clothes *actually* comfortable? Will they last more than one washing machine cycle? These are the important questions!
