This Miu Miu skirt is serving us all the looks and taking the fashion level into a whole different level. With celebrities such as Nicole Kidman and Zendaya sporting it on magazine covers and it’s now all-over social media.
With barely enough fabric to peek out from under a belted waistband, the itty-bitty kilt is reminiscent of Britney Spears’ sexy schoolgirl outfit in her 1998 “Baby One More Time” music video. Sounds familiar, right?
MIU MIU SKIRT ORIGIN
Ever since Miuccia Prada sent the dangerously low-rise skirt and ultra-cropped tube top down the runway, fashion hasn’t been the same. It feels like 90s over again—a throwback to Y2K and its divisive style.
Miu Miu first presented the micro-mini skirt during its spring 2022 fashion show last October. After the skirt was seen on nearly every red carpet, designer Miuccia Prada revamped the daring style for her fall 2022 collection, which just hit the Paris fashion week catwalk. The Miu Miu skirt set has become so popular it even has its own Instagram account, @miumiuset. Meanwhile, the luxury label’s Soho location has a long wait list of fashionistas itching to get their hands on the coveted skirt.
With all the bad comments circulating telling everyone that this Miu Miu skirt fits a certain body type, 2022 is about breaking barriers. It’s literally for everyone.
The style seems to be riding the wave of Y2K nostalgia championed by Gen Z. The 2022 version of the look has hit some as a more empowering version of the fashions worn by their favorite celebs when they were young and starting to explore fashion.
CELEBRITIES PRESENT
We get to see the likes of the famous personalities and actors wearing the Miu Miu skirt making it trend on Instagram, Twitter, and even TikTok.
The skirt was seen on actors Nicole Kidman, Emma Corrin and Zendaya, models Paloma Elsesser, Lara Stone, and Emily Ratajkowski, rapper Saweetie and activist Maxim Magnus, defying anyone who thought the mini was for a single body type. It moved at lighting speed into high-street retailers such as ASOS and Shein.
K-FASHION
Girls’ Generation ‘s YoonA rocked the very same outfit for the cover of ELLE. With her slim waist, she could pull off the high fashion look. While the low-rise micro-mini may be the “it” piece of the season, it was hard to move in due to the short length.
When girl group ‘IVE’ decided to base one of their stage outfits on the iconic skirt and sweater look, their stylists had to take things into their own hands. She adopted the palette of grey, cornflower blue, and beige. She added in white and navy for variety and reformed the original skirt.
Fans loved how IVE’s stylist reinterpreted the Miu Miu look in a K-idol way. The skirt is truly an iconic in what ever form.
