The Miu Miu Fall 2023 campaign occupies a place between real time and time to come, between transient, democratic spaces in shades of grey and the notion of movement everywhere and nowhere.

That same disruption is implicit in their wardrobe. Elegant twinsets, knee-length pencil skirts and oversized tailoring in dry, heavyweight wools cover the body – and uncover it.

The normally hidden – the waistbands of stockings, signature panties worn without skirts and delicate petticoats – is revealed. Spontaneity, languor and ease is veiled physically, in clothing, and emotionally by a sense of mystery, of human beings, self-absorbed and peaceful in isolation, moving from avatar abstraction to intimacy, from foreground to background, open but never giving too much away. The universally recognized – the sincere – is subverted, looked at in a different way.
