Miu Miu...

Flashback glamour was the underlying concept of Miu Miu's SS11 collection.  Full of satin dresses, silver and gold embroidered jackets and shapes that took spectators back to the 70's, 80's and 90's. Satin dresses came in black, yellow, electric blue, red and silver while some were printed with swans or snakes.  Then there were the  oversized flower printed blouses were worn with knee length ruffle appliqué black satin skirt. There were some pieces that were oh so 80's, the bomber jacket with jagged appliqué star for example, but then there were pieces that were so elegant - the black neck cut out detail dress for example. The collection was big on embellishment, whether it was a print, appliqué detailing or beaded bobbled that dropped from skirts and dress necklines. Similar to the Prada collection (of course!) there were not one pair of trousers to be seen and all hemlines stayed around the knee area, in a bid to showcase some amazing neon heels! Not as SS as I expected but a great collection...
