SELECTED FOR YOU (WOMENSWEAR EDITION)

Lourdes finds one of the most exciting collections this season in Miu Miu. Born as the freer alter ego of Miuccia Prada, Miu Miu is synonymous with youthful rebellion, always with purpose. Its pieces are designed to challenge the status quo: cropped silhouettes, unexpected layering, and an experimental flair that embraces excess without fear.

“I’m seeing two key trends this year: suede, like the flawless camel suede jacket from Miu Miu, and the bag of the moment: the Arcadie, also from Miu Miu. They’re essentials of the brand this season and beyond, perfect for embracing the Miu Miu spirit.”

Lourdes’ selection captures this modern, intentional, and lighthearted energy. These are pieces that speak of the now, spontaneous yet deliberate, balancing classic and daring elements. To stay true to Miu Miu’s style: “Don’t overthink it. If you spend too long putting together a look, it won’t work. That’s Miuccia’s philosophy when designing for Miu Miu.”

Each garment becomes a dialogue with both past and present youth, where playfulness meets intellect. Lourdes highlights one essential element in Miu Miu’s history: the Ruches loafers, a soft leather silhouette that defines the brand’s tactile savoir-faire. The final look is a clear homage to the preppy style dominating both streetwear and runway fashion in recent seasons.

Teresa celebrates the revival of Chloé, its bohemian spirit and sense of freedom. Under Chemena Kamali, the maison has embraced a new nostalgia. Since her debut, the designer has resurrected the naïve and free-spirited aesthetic of the 1970s, a look that defined Chloé’s early identity, reinterpreted now with modern emotion and sincerity.

“The return of the Paddington is really exciting. I remember when it first launched, 20 years ago. It was the ‘it’ bag, sold out in minutes. Now, two decades later, it’s back, reimagined for the present.”

Teresa’s selection pays tribute to that sensibility and Kamali’s emotional nostalgia. Wide boho influences remain, but always through a lens of quiet sophistication. Light, sheer blouses, flowing wide-leg jeans, and earthy tones evoke a countryside feel, romantic but elevated. Craftsmanship is key to Chloé’s identity: delicate embroidery, lacework and soft draping all speak to a gentle femininity.

“I chose pieces that reflect that return to origin, to the free woman who needs no explanation. She just is.” Teresa’s vision connects to Chloé’s purest essence: a house of timeless liberty, rooted in the past, made for the present.

Patricia gravitates toward the intellectual and radical modernity of Prada. Under the joint direction of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, each season offers a fresh exploration of modern femininity. Their work rejects traditional silhouettes and tight-fitting codes “in favour of a language of oversized, fluid garments, rich in conceptual intention.” At Prada, form meets function, always grounded in intelligence and a deep understanding of the present.

“The way they explore femininity through looser, more conceptual silhouettes, stepping away from the overly tight, is magnetic and so undeniably Prada.”

Patricia’s selection centres on this signature intellectuality. She highlights a straight-cut coat, a spectacular baby-doll dress in structured wool, and two essential elements of the Miuccia Prada universe:

“The brown suede low-heel pumps and Prada knitwear are both iconic signatures of the brand.” These are pieces that invite us to reflect on how we inhabit clothing today. The result is a form of conscious femininity, free from gimmicks, yet deeply sophisticated.

“What I find most fascinating about Prada is how it manages to be both modern and elegant at once,” says Patricia. Her picks pay tribute to that dual vision so inherent to Miuccia Prada, where radical thinking becomes clarity, and clarity becomes elegance. A house that remains a constant and defining reference for the present.
