Miu Miu's latest collection tackles gender stereotypes with the power of the mini skirt.

If you were wondering whether or not the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/mini-skirt-trend-runway-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mini skirt trend</a> would continue into the Spring/Summer 2023 season, allow Miu Miu's latest runway collection to confirm. While the show featured major names like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bella-hadid-iconic-runway-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bella Hadid</a>, Miranda July, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/celebrity-books-that-are-worth-the-hype-my-body-emily-ratajkowski" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emily Ratajkowski</a>, and FKA Twigs (who closed the show), models of all genders hit the runway in Miuccia Prada's latest designs, subverting of gender norms and social constructs in the most obvious way.
&ldquo;This is not an easy moment to create fashion," explained Prada. "For this collection, I wanted to explore the purpose of fashion, its reason. Its usefulness in society and in culture today. Fashion can have a meaning and a reason beyond utility - to decorate, to attract, is a meaning. But it is important that fashion functions - I am not anti-luxury but I am anti-ostentation.&rdquo;
She continued, &ldquo;I am interested in the notion of translation - how to translate a feeling, a mood, a concept, into an object. This collection is about fashion born from reality, and born for reality, to be placed back into that context. Because times are difficult, it does not mean we should not create. But we have to ensure every piece has purpose and reason. This is not a time for meaningless fashion.&rdquo;
To stage the show, Prada enlisted the help of artist Shuang Li and AMO to construct a runway with the Palais d'I&eacute;na to represent this idea of new realities. Said Prada, &ldquo;Always I want to expand Miu Miu, to open up, through our casting, through collaboration with artists. That is another translation, the notion of translating different ideas into the world of fashion, of engaging with different creative spheres, enriching each other. It mirrors the exchanges and communications of life.&rdquo;
