Paris '06 F/W - Miu Miu
If time and style existed in a symbiosis relationship, what would the young boy in the scouts look like all grown up? Or maybe a boy that used to ride horses and attended military academy. Those questions resonated in my mind as I watched Miu Miu's Fall/Winter line strut down the runway.
Miu Miu has always been for the younger man and I've always loved the clothes because they seem designed for a more realistic figure. You can tell from these photos, the clothes aren't designed to exaggerate height nor are these models super tan and chiseled. The look like the geek and nerd once shunned. The clothes help exude a sense of intelligence and resourcefulness as opposed to sex and virility other menswear lines tend to latch onto.
This Fall/Winter, the clothes are tailored but seem worn (a trend that seems to be seeping into menswear). The trousers tucked into boots had an equestrian flair. The elongated tops and jackets shortens the legs making these models look shorter. Combined with huge stylized hiking boots, they really did look like grown up boy scouts. Give them a pair of black Prada clear lens plastic frames and I think you may have hit my G-spot.
