Velvety Patterned Fashion

Polka Dots and Stripes Were Mixed Together at Miu Miu Ready to Wear Show

— July 9, 2013 — Fashion
In a sea of all black, Miu Miu’s Muccia Prada shone some light onto the runway by her use of brightly colored patterns. Not typically seen in a Fall/Winter collection, the blue, pink and yellow polka dots and stripes were a welcome addition to an otherwise dark but glamorous runway set.

Miu Miu’s ready to wear collection was a beautiful display of velvety dark colors and rich textures that just screamed the words luxury and elegance. The surprising twist were the pops of pattern and color that peaked out through luscious coats, calf length skirts and dresses. All models were in a striped stocking and had a scarf tied around their neck, but as a result of the stunning outfits the accessories did not deter from the rest of the collection, they just added interest to it. Miu Miu proved that it is okay to continue to wear your brights and patterns well into fall.
Trend Themes
1. Bright Patterns in Fall/winter Fashion - The use of brightly colored patterns in a typically dark season opens up opportunities for fashion brands to offer unexpected and playful collections.
2. Mixing Rich Textures with Playful Prints - Combining velvety dark colors with unexpected patterns creates a unique fusion that could inspire fashion brands to experiment with new combinations.
3. Statement Accessories That Complement Bold Outfits - Miu Miu's use of scarfs and striped stockings that work well with the stunning outfits presents the potential for fashion brands to create complementary accessories to enhance their collections.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion brands could leverage bright patterns and unexpected combinations to create unique and playful collections that stand out in a typically dark season.
2. Textile and Fabric - Exploring new combinations of velvety dark colors and playful prints and patterns could drive innovation in the textile and fabric industries.
3. Luxury Goods - Incorporating unexpected pops of color and pattern into high-end collections can enhance the luxury and exclusivity of products in the luxury goods industry.
