The Verdict: Miu Miu seems to be going down the “Lady Chic” route for Fall/Winter 2012-13. Although there are similar shapes when compared to Prada’s Fall/Winter 2012-13 (I’m referring to the top handle flap bags) without any embellishments, the Miu Mius are certainly less flamboyant than their sisters at Prada. Top handles seem to be the favourite style for Miuccia for Fall/Winter 2012-13 and this time around, Miu Miu, though usually more “youthful” (it is after all Prada’s younger sister), seems to have grown up a little this season. The more usual supple and slightly slouchy silhouettes that we usually find at Miu Miu are abandoned for FW 12-13 and in its place, more structured bags. I’m going to call this collection Minimalist Lady Chic
