Miuccia is a genius. And one of the reasons for that is the subtlety of her use of thematic inspirations without ever being tacky. This collection was risky, verging on being a bit too LITERAL. Pattern of cars on skirt? Are you sure Miuccia, is that really something you had to do? Okay last year Celine Phoebe Philo was also inspired by cars and I thought that was a literal take on cars. And now this is REALLY literal.
BUT Miuccia will never disappoint me. Her use of jewels were spot-on, perhaps even better than Dolce and Gabanna's (and that is a big statement.) Her silky jackets, coats, florals, and blouses hit the right pulse, in all of the pieces.

was a conglomeration of metaphors. First, many of the critics spoke of the modern classic housewives of the suburbs. Some spoke of the veils and restraint etc. etc. What about Picasso? Raf Simons' use of Picasso motifs were... hmmm... beautiful. They were not only in the few of the sweaters, but all throughout. As an aspiring Art connoisseur, the check-patterns definitely read as subtle homage to Picasso's harlequin motifs.
Then, what about Richard Prince Nurses (paintings at the very bottom)? It is surprising that not so many people have mentioned this blatantly. You tell me. Am I stretching the art inspirations a bit too much, or do you see the connection as well? Thanks for reading this petty discussions. -Cathy
