On October 6th, Miu Miu's 2026 Spring/Summer collection fashion show was held in Paris, France. The event featured stunning visuals with attendance from Ive's Jang Wonyoung, Myao Ella, and Tomorrow X Together's Yeonjun.
Jang Wonyoung completed a captivating styling wearing a two-piece setup and a shearing fur stole. She added an elegant touch with a solitaire glossy leather bag that combined a structural silhouette and refined details.
Myao Ella styled an all-black look with a fur jacket and miniskirt, paired with white ballerina heels and a napa leather pocket bag, revealing a kitsch sensibility. Yeonjun showcased a luxurious presence in a mohair suit-type jacket and straight-fit pants, creating a chic mood with Miu Miu's iconic suede bow bag.
This collection, presented by Miuccia Prada, focused on women's "work." It explored the challenges, adversities, and experiences women face, recognizing their labor and revaluing its worth. The apron, which can be both practical and decorative, changed its cultural meaning depending on materials and forms, revealing that various worlds coexist within a single garment.
The collection offered a perspective on the reality of clothing through industrial cotton fabrics and leather, cotton poplin, silk cloque, lace, and rough canvas enhanced with embroidery. Shoes, bags, and accessories expressed sturdiness and practicality using solid leather, embodying industrial beauty. Notably, ruffles, the most basic decoration symbolizing women, acted as a force overturning social norms and expectations, presenting new challenges.
The stage design abstracted the column-lined space of the Palais d'Iéna into a domestic everyday setting. Formica tables in different shades were rhythmically arranged to compose the space. Some elements used in the stage decoration will be repurposed in new forms after the show through the nonprofit organization "Les Reves des Arts," which supports the development of circular and solidarity economies in the cultural and creative sectors.
The casting for Miu Miu's 2026 Spring/Summer collection show included Billy Barrett, Satin Besson, Towa Bird, Daniel Blumberg, Michella Bredal, Ania Czelota, and Richard E. Grant. They captured the attention of many.
This fashion show provided an important opportunity to reexamine the existence and value of women and presented the direction of contemporary fashion. Miu Miu is expected to continue exploring these themes in the future.
