Y2K style is back, baby!
Before we go on, abandon all preconceived notions of what a “skirt” is. Covering your behind is no longer a requirement — we’re talkingshort that the pocket linings poke out from the bottom. Miu Miu’s runway was filled with micro-mini skirts that put wearers’ belly buttons, hipbones and upper thighs on display. The boundary-pushing pieces are so teeny that they could almost be mistaken for belts rather than stand-alone items of clothing.
. The collection — titled “Basic Instincts” — is Miu Miu’s take on reimagined professional attire with low-waisted and high-cropped office wear. It features khaki midi and mini skirts that have fraying bottoms that look like they’ve been haphazardly fringed with scissors. The collection’s bottoms varied from leather skirts to full-length trousers — all low-waisted, of course. They were paired with cropped wool sweaters, button-up dress tops and zip-up jackets.
“Trousers are cut into abbreviated skirts, sweaters and shirts carved out to reveal the body. Edges are left raw, elements of construction exposed in commemoration of the spontaneity of these actions,” explains the brand in a statement. The result is a distressed prep-school vibe that we’re totally into.
Those of us who’ve lived through the OG micro-mini skirt days can recall the fatphobia and “thinspiration” that also dominated the fashion narrative back then. As a result, some areof the 2000s trend and its body-shaming discourse. And unfortunately, Miu Miu’s recent runway show missed an opportunity to show off the revisited low-rise looks on larger bodies, consequently reverting to the untrue idea that only thin people can sport a skin-bearing wardrobe.
