The Miu Miu Spring 2012 Show is a Departure From the Label's Usual Look
Souzan Michael — October 7, 2011 — Fashion
Forget the typical sparkly heels and floral prints that you might associate with Miuccia Prada's second line, because the Miu Miu Spring 2012 collection is anything but typical.
"I tried to do something different," Miuccia told Style.com. Well, the queen of setting trends in the fashion world did just that. It's no secret that anything Miuccia does on the runway is immediately eaten up and becomes a huge look for the season. While the Miu Miu Spring 2012 collection isn't exactly the epitome of spring fashion (the palette was made up of blood reds and a lot of black) it did do something the industry has never seen before, especially from a Miu Miu collection.
However, the Miu Miu Spring 2012 collection maintained its feminine feel by incorporating plenty of bows and ribbons. Style.com said it best: "there's no one like Prada for keeping us on our toes."
