On November 22, Miu Miu re-staged their Resort 2019 show in Shanghai, China.
It seems like the fashion industry has been all about courting the Chinese market lately, with some good and not so good results. While Dolce and Gabbana decided to cancel their show due to public outrage over Stefano Gabbana’s racist comments, the Miu Miu show went on without a hitch and reminded us of how much we loved the collection when it first premiered back in June. While the winter is just gearing up, let’s revisit the sunny collection and remind ourselves how warm and pleasant life can be.
Like all good resort collections, the Miu Miu Resort 2019 collection premiered plenty of soft colors and flowing silhouettes for easy, yet uncompromisingly elegant wearing. And while the clothes were fabulous, they weren’t the stars of the show. Miucci Prada called in a cast of influential celebrities including Game of Thrones’ Gwendolyn Christie, Rowan Blanchard, Uma Thurman, and Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink. Prada made the decision to include them at the last moment in a flash of spontaneity, a move that played perfectly with the fun and spontaneous vibe of the collection.
The collection was whimsical in that it combined the casual coolness of oversized cardigans and sporty jackets with pretty little dresses embellished with sparklies and hemmed with luxurious feathers. Almost all of the floaty, sheer pieces were even layered over playful briefs and bandeau combos for some fun juxtaposition that played into the overall carefree vibe. Plus, the collection brought new life to the shorter than short hot pants, the perfect choice of bottoms for a fun and free vacation.
