Fresco art adorned the tops and waist skirts in Miuccia’s exploration of her storied past for the spring collection of darling brand Miu Miu. Simple, flattering silhouettes and skirts hung on layers of silk and burlap. Overlay or color and art resembling magnified early Italian Renaissance fresco was increasing clear and then blurred as the show progressed. Simple, yet quite muddled, the collection was an artistic exploration.

Stolen? Some of the art looked as if it were purposefully aged, mishandled and draped over a skirt, spray painted and made “ready to wear”- perhaps, it seemed, without permission. I try not to induce migranes pondering messages a particular designer may or may not be sending. I can’t help but think the collection portrays a tongue in cheek slight to the many other designers or “artists” mishandling her creations, repackaging them rather obviously and sending them down the runway until the point where its been done repeatedly and the art barely remains- just blurred pixilation. I noticed how many spring shows have laser cutouts. And last season it was Prada’s lace that inspired everyone it seemed. I think Miu Miu was brilliant and simplistic with an unclear message.
