Miu Miu Elevates the Apron at Paris, Centering Women’s Work for Spring 2026

Miuccia Prada anchored the collection in documentary research, using a cafeteria-style set to recast workwear with couture finishes.

Overview

  • Presented on Oct. 6 at Paris Fashion Week, the 'At Work' show positioned the apron as a universal symbol of labor, with notes highlighting its utilitarian and decorative potential.
  • Looks moved from industrial drill jackets and plain smocks to aprons embellished with studs, ruffles, crystals, black lace, and unexpected pairings like bikinis or knitwear.
  • Sandra Hüller opened in a navy carpenter’s apron with a leather-trimmed chore coat and cravat, signaling the collection’s shift from factory floor to fashion stage.
  • Cameos included Milla Jovovich in a frilled leather apron, Richard E. Grant in leather workwear, plus appearances by Daniel Blumberg, Cortisa Star, and Towa Bird.
  • The venue mimicked a workplace cafeteria with Formica tables and PVC strip curtains, as coverage also noted Miu Miu’s strong momentum with first-half revenue up 49% and a top Lyst ranking.
