Miu Miu's new fall-winter 2026/2027 collection was one of the most philosophical this fashion season. Instead of loud statements and spectacular silhouettes, Miuccia Prada turned to simplicity, humanity and familiar wardrobe forms – from pencil skirts to suits in the spirit of the 1970s. In times of global uncertainty, the designer offers a different idea of fashion: calm, intimate and one that reminds us that sometimes the simplest things have the greatest value.

The show’s scenery resembled a forest clearing – moss and twigs under the models’ feet created a sense of closeness to nature. And the clothes themselves seemed as “down to earth” as possible for a Miu Miu wardrobe: 1970s-style trouser suits, straight-cut minidresses, gray pencil skirts and simple fitted shirts. Cozy faux fur-lined jackets were paired with cropped nylon anoraks, and the looks were completed with earflaps or worn tweed hats.
The collection was stripped down to the basics: a classic palette of black, grey, brown and burgundy. In times of global uncertainty, it seemed like a return to the brand's core codes. “Realistic clothing” is becoming more than just a theme, it's a necessity – and Prada is traditionally expected to provide a philosophical explanation for this phenomenon. This time, the designer described her minimalism as a way to calm down: “what you have in your body and mind should be enough.”
At the same time, the collection also felt the power of Miu Miu’s heritage. Despite the brand’s huge commercial success and popularity among a new generation of shoppers, many of them know little about its history. That’s why Chloé Sevigny’s appearance on the catwalk in a fur-trimmed jacket and dress was a special moment: she first walked the Miu Miu runway in 1996 – almost 30 years ago.
A knee-length pencil skirt and a vintage peach-hued top are items that Prada, through Miu Miu, once captured in the style of the 1990s generation. Their return evoked warm associations among those who have been watching fashion for a long time: these clothes still look relevant.
This was especially felt in the finale, when the designer allowed herself a bit of decoration: 1920s-style dresses with glittering embroidery on chiffon that fell easily over the layers. It was in them that Gemma Ward, Kristen McMenamy and Gillian Anderson closed the show – concluding not only the show, but the entire autumn-winter 2026/2027 season. There were both young models and older women on the catwalk – a small but important gesture. As Miuccia Prada said: “I am strengthened by the thought that we still exist. No matter what happens, we are here.”
