As we come to the end of our fashion show coverage for spring 2021, we’re recapping our last presentation of these unprecedented times. For spring 2021 at Miu Miu, Miuccia Prada found inspiration from a global community of women, aiming to bring them together through the language of the fashion show, which is intended to both entertain and bring joy. Though the show looked a little bit different this year as it was experienced digitally, Ms. Prada was still able to foster a sense of community through a show that felt both modern and classic, fully embracing the history of Miu Miu as it began.
“On one side you have to be very practical, on the other side you need attraction. You want to lift up, but you need to live in the real world.” – Miuccia Prada
Miuccia Prada examined the earliest years of the label for inspiration, which is clearly reflected in this collection. The simplicity of the silhouette takes center stage in the brand’s RTW, as does the exploration of the fashion-meets-sport aesthetic, which has been an obsession of Miuccia Prada’s throughout her career. As for the bags, which are the perfect compliment to the collection, streamlined shapes exude femininity and softness, perfectly encompassing the Miu Miu DNA. Bags showcase quintessential House details, such as Matelesse and embellishment. Overall the bags were playful and fun, which is what one would expect from the little sister of PRADA.

I appreciate that Miuccia has finally answered my most vital fashion question, which is what bag to wear when you forget your pants?
I stared at that photo to figure out what was happening for an embarrassing amount of time, ha. Anyway, I really enjoy Miu Miu’s dedication to light-hearted colors, patterns, and decoration. I rarely see myself owning one of their bags, but I do think they’re eye-catching and entertaining.
Ha! I stared at that picture too long, also! I was trying to wrap my head around someone wearing booty shorts while carrying an overly embellished designer bag. Their choice of attire, for this model, surely wasn’t meant to distract from the bag, but it does distract.
Honestly, Miu Miu is so cool and underrated (unlike its corporate older sister)!
while the bags were nice, the clothes in this collection were incredible!
Honestly I’m not seeing myself owning these bags, but I’m really glad the Miumiu matelasse leather is channeled up in a quirky cute way
These bags are nice and fun, i like it!
Wow, it seems like most established fashion houses have good bags this season, bad timing with current situation, but perhaps a bit of escapism is a good thing!
I love the matelasse, and I also love pink, but I can’t handle the two together- one of my friends said it looks like someone’s lady parts, and now I can’t unsee it.
