Miu Miu S/S 2022

The title of the Miu Miu SS22 show, Basic Instincts, does not refer to the film, although there were moments where it did make you think of Sharon Stone’s iconic scene in the 1992 movie. The runway was about a foot above the audience, and at that angle, the micro bandeau skirts and tops flashing by left little to the imagination – or rather ignited the imagination, depending on how you look at it. In fact, it referred to preppy wardrobe basics like shirts, pants, sweaters, blazers, and sheath dresses that were presented in new proportions to alter their relationship to the body. It’s like the Catholic grade school girls tying their uniform blouses and hiking up their skirts when they’re off school grounds, but luxury.
