A brand that imbues youth and is hailed as Prada’s playful little sister, Miu Miu proved it’s no longer just reserved for Gen Z, at Paris Fashion Week.
Actors Willem Dafoe and Hilary Swank took to the runway for the label’s spring/summer 2025 show, sporting the quintessentially preppy looks.
Models Alexa Chung and Cara Delevingne’s looks explored the relationship between athleisure and workwear – a motif that founder Miuccia Prada has incorporated into previous collections.
Shell suits, sneakers and polos were paired with preppy pleated skirts and boxy blazers.
Launched in 1993 by Miuccia Prada, Miu Miu embraces a more eccentric, avant-garde aesthetic when compared to its sister brand, Prada. The label plays with social irony, often challenging what constitutes as ‘high fashion’.
The brand’s spring/summer show achieved all of the above. Held in an underground – slightly dystopian – printing studio, press print-outs by the London-based artist Goshka Macuga circulated above the runway.
The show was a playful take on preppy – a trend that has dominated Gen Z wardrobes thanks to the revival of the ‘Sloane Ranger’ on ‘Old Money’ TikTok.
It featured navy sweaters over peter-pan collared shirts, layered taupe trench coats and three-quarter zip pullovers.
Avocado emblazoned skirts – a true symbol of millennials – were also present on the runway, suggesting Prada wanted to encompass every generation in the Miu Miu show.
The front row would debate this claim though, being littered with Gen Z icons, including TikTok’s favourite trad wife, Nara Smith, who arrived in nothing but a a bikini and overcoat to overwhelming screams from fans.
TikToker-turned-singer, Addison Rae – who is experiencing monumental fandom in the wake of her song release ‘Diet Pepsi’ – joined Smith in a polka-dot two-piece and burgundy slingback kitten heels.
