It’s been raining every day for weeks. There’s bad news when you turn on the TV, more bad news when you scroll through your feed. Every day at work is the same. Everything slogs on and takes on a dull hue of indifference and boredom. Let’s face it, sometimes life just sucks and you fall out of love with yourself, your job, and everything. It’s at times like these that I can truly appreciate the little, happy things in life, like Mira Mikati’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection.
This collection caught my eye because of its completely carefree, innocent vibe that cuts through the shadow and smog of a world that doesn’t always seem so great. Mikati has somehow managed, with her colorful, circus-esque stripes, embroidered sheer slip dresses and optimistic slogans, to distill the very essence of joy and imbue every thread of her playful collection with it. Seriously, just looking at these photos makes my heart warm!
Some of the pieces that most stood out to me are a super fantastic jacket with a summery, yellow sun print and a backless, short-sleeved, midi dress that features a bright, child-like polka dot print. What I love most about this collection is that, although it is colorful and clownish (in a good way!), each piece is incredibly wearable on its own, and equally wearable married with other colorful pieces in the collection. In an age where print and color clashing is acceptable and encouraged, I think it’s something special to create an entire line that works so well individually or as a unit. I want to buy it all!
In Mikati’s own words, her collection is “a fairy tale that starts well and finishes well.” No complications, no regrets, no unfinished business, just a happy ending- something we could all use a little more of in our lives.
