This Mira Mikati coat is the center of the designer's Fall/ Winter 2015 collection. Mira Mikati started her collection after venturing out on her own in 2012. Co-owner of Beirut fashion mecca, Plum, the designer has become a label beloved by fashion's elite.
Her playful collection, a collaboration with Craig Redman, features tailored separates elevated by whimsical cartoon graphics and emojis with a happy message. This coat features 'OMG!' on the breast pocket, a pair of eyes, 'LAUGH' and 'WAKE UP!' on the back. This fun loving coat is similar to the likes of German designer Anya Hindermach. Both labels use emoji-like work to decorate their pieces.
The Mira Mikati coat is refined, established and brilliant. The brand captures a mashup of minimalism and maximalism perfectly.
