Informal Education

This season, class is in session as the Miu Miu SS ’25 collection asks, “Why don’t we relearn the purpose of dressing?” Break traditional codes of clothing to create a new fashion vocabulary, inspired by an anything goes approach to personal styling.

The Miu Miu Spring/Summer ’25 collection masterfully redefines the art of dressing, challenging conventions and teaching us to see garments through a lens of youthful reimagination. Fundamentally, the collection explores simplicity as a form of clarity against the chaos of overstimulation. So it asks us to block everything out, start over, and return to the basics. The result is a collection that marries practicality with subversive styling.

Playing Dress Up

Miuccia Prada invites us to “unlearn” by presenting a wardrobe directly inspired by the instincts of childhood dressing. Playing dress up all over again, only now as an adult who is unafraid of possibilities. So chemisette cotton dresses are repurposed as bustier silhouettes. Sweaters are provocatively wrapped into tops. And even swimwear escapes the swimming pool to emerge as casual daywear. It’s an exploration of styling as an act of creativity, where the “wrong” way becomes the right way.

Understated Rebellion

Additionally, fabric choice underscores the playfulness. Silks masquerade as classic nylon, challenging assumptions and further disrupting norms. A collaboration with Petit Bateau adds a nostalgic charm, taking prototypical pieces from youth and reimagining them for the modern woman. On the other hand, hyper-classic pieces—the white cotton dress, the understated chemise—serve as anchors, emphasising the manipulation of familiar forms, with Miu Miu’s aesthetic now asserting itself as a cohesive uniform. Not to forget, the cast of runway collaborators—spanning cultural icons like Hillary Swank and Cara Delevingne to Little Simz and Willem Dafoe—breathes individuality into the collection. Collectively, individually, they each embody the fierce self-expression central to Miu Miu’s DNA. It’s bold yet understated, rebellious, and unmistakably Miu Miu.
