The brand profile<br />
From its inception in 1993 Miu Miu was a private territory of expression and a creative playground, fittingly christened with Miuccia<br />
Prada’s family nickname. At a time when Prada was at its most minimalist, Miu Miu offered a counterpoint: a sensual, rebellious take<br />
on dressing-up. Early shows were staged in New York, London and Milan, but the world of Miu Miu crystalized when the label first<br />
showed in Paris in 2006. Embracing both couture savoir-faire and refined experimentalism, Miu Miu explores fashion as a rarefied<br />
form, giving elegance and sophistication a new and twisted meaning. Diverse inspirations, playing on masculine and feminine, historic<br />
references and a jilted modernity come together unexpectedly.<br />
MIU MIU IS…<br />
PLAYFUL,<br />
PROVOCATIVE,<br />
CONTEMPORARY,<br />
ELEGANT AND<br />
SMOOTH.<br />
