5 Things We Loved About The Miu Miu Spring Summer 2026 Collection
Miuccia Prada’s Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2026 collection transforms the humble apron—long tied to the unseen labour of women, from factory workers to grandmothers—into a statement of feminist grit and uneasy glamour.
Trust Miu Miu to always add a frisson of the unexpected: Miuccia Prada took over Palais d’lena for Spring/Summer 2026, turning it into a riot of clashing colours and retro Formica tables that doubled as seats. And yes, you’ll be wondering the same thing we did: is this a fashion show or a cafeteria? Honestly, maybe both.
The collection’s star? Aprons, obviously. In Prada’s hands, they’re no longer just practical — they’re grandma-chic floral, babydoll dresses that flirt with chaos, and soft frills with just enough flair to keep it messy-cool. It’s classic Miu Miu ugly-chic, but with a wink.
The Miu Miu woman is living in the moment, moving from preppy college vibes (still there, if you look closely) to a controlled, colourful chaos at work. This collection is a nod to women’s unseen labour, whether it’s at home or in the office. The uniforms? They don’t conform — they’re all about individuality, personality, and a bit of rebellious flair.
APRONS MAKE A FASHION STATEMENT
The co-ed collection? 65 standout looks, and yep — almost every single one had an apron somewhere in the mix. Bright colours, decked out in embellishments, sleek leather or industrial fabrics — this “protective” piece is anything but subtle. In Prada’s words, “The apron, as a universal symbol of work, is afforded a nobility and respect. A reflection on function and purpose, the apron can be simultaneously utilitarian and decorative.” Basically, it’s workwear that demands attention.
MIUCCIA SAYS: LAYER MORE
At Miu Miu, outerwear doubles as innerwear, layered like they’re wearing one too many pieces on purpose — but somehow, it works. Start with a button-up shirt, peek a polo or sweater underneath a jacket or vest, and just when you think it’s too much, here come the aprons finishing the look. Chaotic? Yes. Perfectly curated? Also yes.
THE MIU MIU WOMAN DOES IT ALL
Prada has always loved uniforms, but here they’re more than uniforms — they’re self-expression. This season? Worker jackets and aprons meet oversized suede blazers, nerdy preppy polos, leather jackets with edge, and pinafore dresses with a twist. Basically, the Miu Miu woman knows a bit about everything and looks good doing it. As Prada puts it, the collection “considers the work of women — their challenges, adversity, experience…its invisibility is confronted and addressed, recognized and valorised.”
HIDE AND SEEK WITH SCARVES
Scarves with a retro inflection peeked out out in all the right places — under collars, under cropped shirts, and even vests.
ACCESSORIES THAT DO IT ALL
From perforated shoulder bags in muted browns and reds, utility belts with enough chains to hang whatever you like (like your bag charms? very clever merchandising movie), to gold metallic heels that are pure Prada irreverence, there’s something for every Miu Miu girl to snag.
