At Paris Fashion Week, Miu Miu Elevates the Apron to Honor Women’s Work

Miuccia Prada grounds the SS26 study of women’s labor in documentary research.

Overview

  • Presented on October 6 at the Palais d’Iéna, the 65-look show unfolded in a cafeteria-like set with colorful Formica tables and PVC strip curtains.
  • The apron was the focal garment, shifting from industrial drill and cotton to leather, crochet, lace, studs and crystal embellishments, styled from workwear to evening.
  • Show notes framed the project as a recognition of women’s work, while Prada cited influences including Dorothea Lange, Helga Paris and films by Luis Buñuel and Louis Malle.
  • Sandra Hüller opened the runway, with appearances by Richard E. Grant and Milla Jovovich, and a front row that included Kylie Jenner, Emma Watson and Emma Corrin.
  • Industry coverage highlighted Miu Miu’s momentum with first-half revenues up 49% and Lyst’s top ranking, with the presentation read as a steady cultural moment during political instability in France.
