    Exploring the Power of Observation with the Miu Miu F/W 23 Collection

     

    The Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2023 collection "WAYS OF LOOKING" by Miuccia Prada is a deep exploration of the act of observation and the power it holds to transform the object of focus. The collection invites the audience to contemplate the importance of looking, seeing and understanding the world around us.

    Miuccia Prada's collection embodies the idea that looking is an act of invention and intervention, as the observer has agency in the perception of the object they are observing. This is reflected in the design of the clothes, which are intentionally crafted to manipulate proportions, exaggerate shapes, and layer fabrics to create a unique rapport between the garment and the body. Workmanship is a tool that is actively used to alter the way outfits are visually read and understood.

    The collection emphasizes the importance of examining and studying clothing, which can result in a shift in structure and placement on the body. Classic items such as twinsets, knee-length skirts, and hooded sweatshirts are given new life and afforded different strengths and fragilities through their fabrication. The notion of looking influences the concept of the underneath and outer, as transparent chiffon opens windows onto clothes that are normally hidden, and dresses are overlaid with stockings exposed. The complexity of layered clothing necessitates closer appraisal, an inquisitive mind, and curiosity.

     

    The show was held in the Palais d’Iena, and the models walked on a sequence of raised walkways to aid the audience's observation. Alongside the runway, an installation by South Korean artist Geumhyung Jeong invited the audience to watch her performance-based pieces, which examined the relationship between her own body and clothing. The screens featuring Jeong’s specially-conceived work formed punctuation to the space, demanding to be watched and inviting the audience to contemplate the ideas presented.

    The character cast of the show included a diverse range of models, including Mia Goth, Rick Braukis, Ethel Cain, Noen Eubanks, Amelia Grey, Sam Nivola, Mame Bineta Sane, Zaya Wade and Emma Corrin. This diverse range of models highlighted the importance of inclusivity and diversity in the fashion industry.

     

    The materials used for the décor of the Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2023 show will find new life after the event thanks to LA RÉSERVE DES ARTS. This non-profit association supports the cultural and creative sector in the development of the circular and solidarity economy by offering collection, recovery, and recirculation services for all types of materials from the various creative activities in the cultural sector. This commitment to sustainability and circularity in the fashion industry is a step towards a more responsible and ethical approach to fashion.
