PFW Fall '14: You Say Beautiful, I Say Miu Miu!

Paris Fashion Week for Fall Winter 2014 came to an end today, and Miu Miu was one of the last shows to go. Full of bright pastels and rain coats, you would almost think that this was a Spring show. But just like Miu Miu is able to do, it surprised me once again and brought out some sweet winter clothes. Some of the highlights from this show included rain boot heels, which trust me, looks a lot better than it sounds, quilted jackets and Jared Leto in the stands (god bless him and his hair). The rain boot heels came in all sorts of colors from clear to navy, and topped with bows. These babies would look great in all season and with crazy socks. Did I also mention that the heels of these booties had nails in them?

 The thing that stole the show though were the different jackets. Many of the coats and jumpers were quilted, knitted or came in crazy furs. While the color variety widely ranged from beautiful pastels and metallic to contrasting jewel tones, the show was still able to evoke a feeling of "simplistic working girl".  Miu Miu seemed to say: this collection is for the practical woman who also enjoys a little excitement-as seen from the contrasting color choices. None of the designs were over-the-top like with McQueen, and Miu Miu stuck to simple regiments of color blocking. Each of the designs were feminine and you could imagine a woman wearing this on her way to the office or to brunch. The set design also added to this. There were no crazy merry-go-rounds or escalators to walk up and down on. There was simple scaffolds with bright lights that matched the fantastic nail heel rain booties. No gimmicks, Miu Miu was exactly how you saw it. The clothes told a story of a straight forward, exciting yet feminine working girl. Simple, clever and absolutely beautiful.
