Vibes Sent (with love) from 90s Miuccia
Soooo as of recently, I have fallen into what may be the most heavenly cove of the internet: Miuccia Prada’s Vogue Runway Archives circa: The 90’s— hands down fashion’s peak.
The clothes, so timeless, classically minimalist yet a touch experimental, sooo chic and dreamy… crystalline almost— just simply gorgeous.
And the show’s. To watch Kate Moss strut down the runways in the 90’s - I hate to glamorise the time and fall into any cynicism- but today’s shows are just not comparing !!
And so, here is a collection of my most adored looks- along side a lil shopping list of similar(ish) taste- because Miuccia 100% is a fashion goddess and knows exactly what will be crystallised in time.
Prada Spring ‘92
worn to: the country club, probably soho house… or maybe the Hamptons to ‘a lunch’
Rosetta Getty strapless bandeau
Rosetta Getty cropped flare trouser
ARERE linen jumpsuit
Jimmy Choo Evin 65 leather loafer pumps
Prada Classic Point Toe pump (ebay)
Prada Spring ‘93
worn to: a really sophisticated business dinner, or a law firm (with like a super laid back dress code… maybe Mirandas law firm from SATC ?)
Vintage prada blazer (etsy)
**also, side note from the season: howwww amazing is a flower choker w a a blazer ?!!!! I know we low key already had this trend a little earlier this year, but (for some reason) I didn’t really hop on it- however now this has convinced me ha- Will be wearing this look to my next dinner for sureeeee :) and just look a Kate too:
Miu Miu Spring ‘95
worn to: okay picture this- it’s your typical mid summer’s day in the city, probably at like, 28 degrees (celsius), and you have just gone from the office, to grabbing a quick lunch and a lil goss sesh with girls… this is the look:
Prada knee length skirt (ebay) (not blue, but sooo gorg)
Prada Fall ‘95
worn to: oh date night obviously, theres wine, and candles- all the ambiance and is most likely at an Italian restaurant. This set paired with some gorgeous gold jewellery: it’s simple, sleek, and elegant.
Prada Spring ‘97
worn to: your wedding reception of course ! The romantic, garden-esque ceremony has come to an end, and now your staying on theme- but you have tousled your hair, brushed on a smoky eye and slipped some red platforms, giving the signal it’s to time to parrrtyyy !
Miu Miu Spring ‘98
worn to: euro vacayyyyy ! A day exploring a new city, like Rome- or St Tropez?? Wherever you are, you have a melting gelato in one hand and full of Prada shopping bags in the other.
Prada spring ‘98
worn to: A shopping spree ! Your skipping along the boulevard, arms full and heavy with bags- now time to find a cute cafe for some mid shop break r&r.
Scanlan Theodore Pink Corset (depop)
. . .
Also- these looks are soooo satc, don’t you feel?! I mean Prada spring ‘92 is such a bit of Charlotte, and a lot of these are very Carrie coded. I wander if these shows are where Patricia Fields got her inspo, or if Miuccia just knew what was hot in the 90s?
And now- Current Miu Miu and Prada bags I have screen shotted to my camera roll:
Miu Miu Aventure Nappa Leather Bag
Prada Enamel Triangle-Logo leather Tote Bag
Miu Miu Woven Fabric Handbag with Leather Trim
(hehe it’s so cute I want to cry)
Ciao! (with much love),
