The first looks at Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2027 felt like getting dressed with several things in the diary. Pleated midi skirts came in checks and ginghams, worn with cropped sporty T-shirts and blazers that did not quite match. A fine knit burgundy top appeared with micro shorts, heels and a huge bag. Familiar archetypes combined in playful, unexpected ways.

The house describes the collection as a “recontextualisation” of everyday clothes, beginning with knitwear, leather and sportswear, with those references left clearly visible.
Checks came first. Knee-length skirts sat low on the hips, some with the look of a librarian skirt, then came bare midriffs and baby T-shirts. One checked blazer over micro shorts was meeting from the waist up and beach from the waist down.

The bags pushed the proportions further. Glossy animal print covered maxi carryalls and smaller camera bags, adding yet another pattern to the checks. Beside the micro shorts, the largest bags looked comically big and made the shorts seem smaller still.
Bow-detailed heels appeared throughout, with so much exposed leg on show. The contrast made the whole thing feel a bit more playful. Laces wrapped around flats and peep-toe heels, then turned up again threaded through the tops of skirts.

Further in, micro tanks and scarf-like tops brought a beachwear reference into the collection. Some were worn alone, others layered with tailoring or longer skirts. A green embellished top was paired
with a pencil-skirt silhouette. The top could have belonged at a concert or somewhere by the sea; the skirt had entirely different intentions. Either way, the combination was delicious.
English actress Olivia Colman appeared in a dark V-neck, loafers and a leather midi skirt with chain detailing at the waist. She looked so distinctly British to me, a little dishevelled and completely unfussed about it. The creased leather had a supple, worn-in feel.

Elsewhere, one leather skirt opened into a long side slit, while a sleeveless jacket was worn over a bright neon top. Brown and purple versions had a wet, garment-dyed finish. One blazer was tucked neatly into a micro skirt, a wonderfully polite way to wear very little.
A run of geometric square motifs followed in contrasting colourways, with a 1960s vibe across dresses and shorts. After the more unexpected combinations of the opening and the texture of the leather, the print felt cleaner and more direct.
The bright orange crinkled dresses had more character, particularly because their handled surfaces resisted looking too finished.
Embellished pieces became heavier later in the show, but the shapes underneath stayed simple. Micro tanks with embellished trims carried much of it.

Jamie Bell and Noah Jupe were among the men in the cast, with Wrangler denim appearing in the collection too. They sat comfortably within a show already borrowing from different corners of a wardrobe without separating them into men’s and women’s stories.

Gigi Hadid appeared late in a tank top, embellished skirt and New Balance x Miu Miu trainers. It took me back to being younger and refusing to change between sports class and seeing friends afterwards, because doing an entire outfit change seemed totally unnecessary. The skirt belonged to one plan, the trainers to the next. The show was strongest when you could still see exactly where a piece had started. A check remained schoolish, the leather kept its creases, and a tank still looked like a tank. I did not leave the show thinking about fantasy as escape, but rather about everyday life.
