Oh, how we love it when Miu Miu lets their retro flag fly! Remaining at the very top of the most buzzy brands in the industry, Miuccia Prada decided to steer away from sporty prep that she explored for the past few seasons in place of more traditional elegance.

The opening look – a tight pink knit hugging the bullet bra worn underneath and slinky brown skirt were paired with an assortment of ladylike accessories: a cloche hat nodding to the 1920s flapper style, a fur stole carried on the arm along with a patent leather bag, and pointy loafers worn with over-the-knee silky wool socks. Later in the show, the stole (this time, worn on the neck) revealed its practical detail – pockets to protect hands from the cold – making it a sure bestseller for the upcoming fall.

As for the fur, the material also made its way onto sophisticated outerwear pieces – from a classic shape coat (decorated with a gold brooch) to an ultra-cropped version resembling a bolero. The always-welcome menswear offering for the season was also built around statement coats, with the patent leather peacoat and patinaed suede blazer being our favourite propositions.

Aside from the aforementioned loafers, the looks featured knee-high boots with a buckle, the new shiny iteration of the brand’s popular sneakers, and sky-high open-toe heels (again, worn with the long socks).

There was a sense of welcome familiarity throughout the collection that spoke to us in these unpredictable, volatile times. When things get tough, covering oneself with elements that remind us of our histories can be a source of cherished comfort – the ultimate luxury.
