Miu Miu
Designer: Miuccia Prada

• “A little thin on ideas, and I couldn’t get the image of Olive Oyl out of my head.” [All The Rage/Los Angeles Times]
• “Last season’s boxy and printed looks were gone for Miu Miu’s fall-winter 2013-14 show.
  In their place was a more inventive collection that featured outerwear as dresses, large-sized buttons and giant handbags.” [AP]
• “A youthful, upbeat collection.” [The Daily Beast]
• “Miuccia Prada entered a fictional land of whimsy for Fall where a band of Mary Poppins-meets-Olive Oil lookalikes traipsed around in candy-colored polka dot dresses, belted at the waist and finished off with a silk neckerchief, or navy brass button suiting set against striped tights and chunky-soled Mary Janes.” [Daily Front Row]
• “An intriguingly severe manifestation of Miu Miu.” [The Daily Telegraph]
• “Fun and punchy, almost pantomime-like with their Punch and Judy stripes and Edwardian fairground feel.” [ELLEuk.com]
• “It was a neat picture of the duality inherent in many women’s lives, and an argument for the fact that, if well co-ordinated, you can have at least some of it all.” [FT.com]
• “Was Miuccia Prada thinking of the assertive not to mention superhuman Pippi Longstocking for her autumn/winter collection for Miu Miu? It rather seemed like it although the Swedish fictional character who would rather never grow old and can pick up a horse in one hand had been given a very chic makeover.” [Grazia Daily]
• “Bags are big business after all, and this was literally the case at Miu Miu, which showed this afternoon, where giant tote bags and duffle bags, both with an ostrich skin effect, dwarfed models.” [The Independent]
• “‘Frivolity–starting from sport,’ said Miuccia Prada of her Miu Miu collection, which gave a similar definitive fashion statement as the pantsuits of a year ago.” [International Herald Tribune]
• “The silhouette made the collection.” [The New York Times]
• “The effect was ladylike but off-kilter–just what her fans have come to love about Ms. Prada.” [POPSUGAR Fashion]
• “This season, she stayed true to her concept for the presentation–which is to endlessly iterate variations on the same strong look and line until by the end of the show, something that required a moment or two of adjustment at the show’s opening (a shift in proportion, or color, or casting, and usually all three) looks entirely convincing by the finale run-by.” [Vogue.com]
• “Utility and folklore might be the polar opposites but when served up on the Miu Miu catwalk together they work, they really work.” [Vogue.com UK]
• “The chicest sweater dress of the season came with a sexy Gallic twist at Miu Miu.” [Wmagazine.com]
• “Brought to mind Mary Poppins.” [WWD]
