# Childish Mix-Matched Patterns The Miu Miu Resort 2011 Collection Still Has Its Youthful Appeal By Zoe Badley | Published 2010-07-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miu-miu-resort-2011 References: [fashionising](http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/s--Lindsey-Wixson-Anais-Pouliot-Miu-Miu-Resort-2011-Collection-7007-1.html) & [miumiu](http://www.miumiu.com/) Just like the rest of the female population, I was salivating at the sight of Miu Miu's 2010 collection. Those darn sparrows, Mary Jane pumps and pantsuits were enough to send me into a fashion coma. However, now it's the Miu Miu Resort 2011 collection that's up for review. Pattern overload is the only way to fully explain this collection and instead of those adorable sparrows, it's now apples and polka dots that are featured. It's all about [mix-and-matched designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection), and the Miu Miu Resort 2011 collection still follows that iconic child-like appeal. Too much or not enough?
