Miu Miu Resort 2012

The ad campaign, shot by David Sims in London, reminds us of the portraits of the Princesses.





The woman who wears the 2012 Resort Miu Miu collection is a modern princess who loves retro atmospheres.To present the general public the collection is the ad campaign that David Sims shot in London.Although the face in the foreground, is that of the beautiful model Guinevere Van Seenus, the protagonist of the ad are definitely Miuccia Prada's creations: lace inlay dresses with trompe-l'oeil effect collars, transparencies that enhance sensuality and the bubble skirts evoke a refined and retro femininity.The aristocratic touch is undoubtedly given by the jewels: brass necklaces and earrings with multicolored crystals, necklaces and bracelets with pearl cabochons and jewel brooches. Impressive pieces that recall the great portraits of noble women of the past. A great variety of accessories too, woman's desirable object for excellence: bags in tassel leather or crocodile exhibited with pride and elegance by a gentle but firm woman.(Vogue.it)

Boots by Miu Miu



Typically boots are made to keep you warm and protect you from the elements. But as we've been seeing, many boots have transformed into booties with pep toe accents and various cut outs resulting in a resemblance to high heeled sandals rather than boots. We are definitely not complaining and enjoy the many unique roads that fashion seems to take all of us on, but sometimes we come across a piece that makes us stop and wonder what was the inspiration? Take for example these knee high boots by Miu Miu. There is no shortage of details here with an adornment of Swarovski crystals on the heel, cutouts along the entire boot, a cream colored toe with purple & silver accents that make it seem as though a snake is emerging from your toes. And this is all against multicolored python. It is certainly an interesting interpretation on all the trends we have seen in recent years. Whether or not these are wearable is a different issue. Price: $1720. (Luxist)

Absolutely exquisite.....great 'year round wearability.
