more more miu miu, best of 2011!

miu miu is always the top of the list of "favorite designers" i rattle off on interviews. with a first name so cute like muccia and a last name like prada, you know it has to be good. why i LOVE her? the weird details. countless times a garment will jump out at me in an editorial somewhere, and whadayaknow? there she is again.

SS '11 =
neon (which, i'm not really understanding why, is a trend now when it seems like it just was a year ago?)

shiny gold, green, black leather star like shapes on jackets (though usually i hate stars)
the shoulders on these jackets are very wide, a good play on shoulders without the pads!

applique cut out pieces made the classy lady 80's vibe feel more feminine. the collection also has sick, amazingly detailed shoes!

...all these ladies want you to know they're in charge.

FW '11 = 

so lady like. i love the detailed little prints, similiar to what i've seen her do before. the furs and the fits make the pieces more than just for everyday.

oooh, pile on the collars! (part of the trend i see now with detachable collars, that i first saw started by miu miu.) this slouchy coat definitely makes up for in leg what it lacks in close fit.

this dress would look more on the granny in the garden side, without the twisted fur belt piece! how expensive looking. :)
