Playful, youthful, and a brand known for taking risks, MIU MIU is the name everyone wants to get their hands on. With A-listers such as Bella Hadid, Wonyoung from IVE, Sydney Sweeney, and Momo from Twice gracing every season’s runways and front rows, the brand reminds us that authenticity will forever be in.
Who is Miu Miu?
Established in 1992, Miu Miu is the sister brand of the iconic Prada family, created by Miuccia Prada. The brand name originates from Miuccia’s family nickname, and in 1993, Miu Miu officially launched its first collection, featuring a cowgirl-inspired theme with patchwork elements. The brand served as a new creative outlet for Miuccia, allowing her to explore a more playful and unconventional approach to fashion.
Aimed at a younger, trend-forward demographic, Miu Miu’s first three collections were showcased in the United States, with a menswear line introduced in 1994. The brand later transitioned from presenting in London back to Milan.
As Miu Miu has gained commercial and global success, its aesthetic and brand ethos have evolved. Embracing a more sensual approach to fashion, the collections aim to make consumers feel elevated, sexy, and, in some ways, traditionally elegant. With an increasing focus on gender-neutral designs, Miu Miu proves that while trends come and go, style remains its true strength. Known for its soft, neutral color palette, the brand frequently incorporates shades of baby pink, brown, blue, and vibrant silhouettes that define its runway presence.
Miu Miu’s signature style embodies a rebellious yet sophisticated individual—someone constantly striving for success while remaining effortlessly chic. While widely recognized for its statement pieces and iconic handbags, the brand continues to push the boundaries of contemporary fashion. Miu Miu instantly brings to mind its iconic handbags and micro skirts, along with its signature matching sets and playful campaigns. Known for its diverse product range, the brand continually reinforces its love for handbags, prominently displaying its signature logo in store window displays worldwide.
An ode to handbags
Wander Bag – A staple of the Miu Miu brand, this leather hobo-inspired bag reinvents itself each season, offering fresh ways for consumers to style it. Whether crafted in unique colors or featuring ever-evolving materials like fur, metal, and tweed-like textures, the Wander Bag is a signature piece on both the runway and in every day to day activites.
Beau bag – A viral sensation that has taken over the internet and secured a spot at the top of everyone’s wishlist. This top-handle silhouette has gained immense popularity among younger consumers, becoming an everyday essential, often styled with added accessories such as keychains, lockets, or even Lububus!
Aventure – Designed for the corporate go-getter who wants to stay chic from 9 to 5, the Aventure Bag is spacious enough to fit a laptop, heels, and makeup essentials. The bag, available in multiple sizes, feels like the sophisticated older sister of the collection—daring, stylish, and refined.
Iconic ambassadors
Beyond its outstanding products, Miu Miu is equally known for its high-profile brand ambassadors. From renowned actresses to K-pop idols, the brand has established a strong global presence. Elle Fanning became the face of Miu Miu in 2018, while Wonyoung from IVE took on the role in 2024, helping the brand expand into new markets.
Miu Miu has actively sought to reach new audiences, particularly in Asia, where its popularity has surged. With the rise of Asian influencers, culture, and music, the brand’s recognition has skyrocketed. Chinese actresses Zhao Jinmai and Qiu Tian starred in Miu Miu’s campaign video for the 2025 Chinese New Year, while in South Korea, the brand’s impact is undeniable. With Momo (Twice), Minnie (G)I-DLE, and Wonyoung (IVE) at the forefront, these K-pop idols have cultivated strong ties with Miu Miu, gaining early access to new collections and making waves in the South Korean market.
