How the Miu Miu SS22 Miniskirts Align With Current Fashion Trends
The Spring/Summer 2022 Miu Miu collection took social media by storm with feelings of nostalgia, as well as relevancy to current fashion trends with daring low waisted miniskirts.
The low-waisted look has definitely been making a revival in current fashion trends. Anything from low-waisted jeans to long, low-waisted patterned skirts, this trend has emerged through a Y2K-eque aesthetic—especially on Instagram models and influencers. Controversial in its emergence, this trend seemed to act as a reminder to many people’s middle school days in the early 2000’s, as well as seemingly only appealing to a certain body-type (very thin and non-curvy). However, although these controversies still apply, this trend has made reached both the mainstream as well as high fashion. The Miu Miu miniskirt definitely takes on this trend with a dramatic flair, combining the many different influences of today’s current fashion trends, including early 2000’s Paris Hilton fashion as well as 90’s supermodel core.
However, while this look definitely plays with the obsession that Gen Z has with bringing back old styles such as Y2K fashion, the small stretch of fabric and distressed hemlines of these microskirts paired with edgier muted tones delivers this garment in a more serious and toned down manner than we are used to seeing—the flashy colors and sequined patterns of Y2K girlies.
The question now lies in the practicality of these microskirts, and whether these will actually be seen being worn by real people with different body types and shapes. While I would die to get my hands on one of these skirts, I do acknowledge the riskiness that would come with sporting one of these in real life (I’m already imagining the problems that arise when bending down).
