More Alessandro Murmurs & McQueenology

A final dispatch from Fashion Month, with all the late-stage dish: Prada chatter, the incessant Alessandro-LVMH speculation, the transition at McQueen and much more…

It would be unkind, but you could convincingly say that Fashion Month begins with Prada and ends with Miu Miu. I loved the Twitter discourse around the latter: several of the online critics (like, my favorite Rian Phin), pointed out that Miu Miu threw back to its original school blazer and ruffled mini, “little sister” look, which in turn had influenced so much mall fashion in the U.S. (Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle) in the early 2000s. The mix of that and the flapper dresses felt almost nostalgic, although Miuccia Prada seems to have an evolved relationship with the past.
