Miu Miu closed Paris Fashion Week at the Palais d'Iéna, where large screens and the sound of thunder framed a show conceived with the artist Sophia Al-Maria. Miuccia Prada's Spring 2024 collection went back to school — and then out into the weather, as if its characters had been caught in a sudden storm on the way home.
The opening looks were uniforms in the Miu Miu sense: a preppy blazer over a polo and a checked shirt, Bermuda shorts, untucked collars and librarian glasses. The styling, by Lotta Volkova, kept everything slightly dishevelled — shirts half out, hair undone, bags stuffed as though dressed in a hurry.
The house's mini skirt returned in puffed, ruffled versions gathered with a hanging drawstring, alongside swim briefs, faded leather jackets with a '90s feel, jumbo belts and sandals made from boating rope. Gigi Hadid, Troye Sivan and Cailee Spaeny closed the show in academic uniforms — a reminder that, at Miu Miu, the everyday is always a little bit of a performance.
