For The Two Houses Under The Prada Group – Fall 2023 Line Blends Classic Designs with Modern Aesthetics
For the upcoming Fall/Winter 2023 season, Miu Miu has partnered with Church’s shoes, merging the elegance of the long-established brand with the contemporary flair associated with Miu Miu. The collection’s introduction features an evocative image campaign where models in the latest Miu Miu apparel pose with the collaborative Church’s X Miu Miu footwear, using a gentleman’s armchair upholstered in Miu Miu fabric as a backdrop.
‘[The collaboration] infuses the formality of the heritage brand with the free spirit the Miu Miu name represents,’ says the house.
This collaboration introduces brogues and double monk strap shoes that combine the aesthetics of both brands. Designed in classic black and tobacco hues, the Church’s X Miu Miu shoes are crafted in glossed brushed leather and possess a more rounded shape than their original counterparts. Traditional leather soles have been replaced by flexible, non-slip rubber, maintaining the intricate serration familiar to both styles. Notable features include the Miu Miu logo on the tongues and embossed on the sides of the soles, as well as the Church’s X Miu Miu logo on the insoles. The double monk strap design also incorporates the quintessential wing-tip motif, highlighting Church’s British roots.
This partnership exemplifies Miu Miu’s distinctive approach of intertwining the classic with the modern. The comforting embrace of time-honored designs is both acknowledged and innovatively interpreted to produce a refreshing perspective.
Starting August 29, the Church’s X Miu Miu collection will be exclusively previewed on miumiu.com, followed by availability in Miu Miu stores from September 6th.
