Miu Miu\u2019s Scary Summer
\nIf the collection wasn\u2019t quite as extreme as it\u2019s wont to be, it still preserved the edge of alluring oddness that always makes it Miu Miu.<\/p>\n

PARIS, France \u2014\u00a0\u201cSummer is summer, the beach is the beach,\u201d said Miuccia Prada cheerfully, explaining away the surreally seaside-y ambience of the new Miu Miu collection and show.
\nBut if she was trying to suggest that there was no more to them than that, she failed miserably when she added the following:\u00a0\u201cThey\u2019re sunny but they\u2019re scary.\u00a0Because how much longer will we have them?\u201d\u00a0The sentiment sounded a touch environmental, but, years ago, there was a Prada collection which offered a post-nuclear beachscape as its primary graphic.\u00a0The ability to isolate the strain of darkness in the midst of light is a long time Miuccia knack.
\nSo if this collection had the superficial look of a 1960\u2019s party in Forte dei Marmi, it was also\u00a0a typically contrary Prada combination of kitsch, prim and racy, with princess coats and shirtdresses (tied in the back with a big bow) sharing catwalk space with ruched short shorts, shirred romper suits and printed latex coats.
\nThe shoes, always a Miumiu fundamental,\u00a0ran the same gamut: slides to platform sandals,\u00a0flip-flops to wedges carved with seashells.\u00a0There was typical perversity in flourishes like the anthurium bathing caps, the towelling stoles,\u00a0or the terrycloth robes made from mink.
\nBut that\u2019s another Miuccia knack, to infuse the banal with a peculiar new insight.\u00a0Frederic Sanchez played Siouxsie Sioux songs, enough to cast a chill over any sunny gathering.\u00a0The Miumiu colour palette was also a tiny bit cold.\u00a0\u00a0So it wasa scary beach.\u00a0Which guaranteed that, if the collection wasn\u2019t quite as extreme as it\u2019s wont to be, it still preserved the edge of alluring oddness that always makes it Miu Miu.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
