Maxfield is set to debut the Miu Miu Type capsule collection, a customizable collection that features illustrations and letters. The idea was inspired by Miu Miu’s Autumn/Winter 2018 ready-to-wear show staged in Paris in March, in which the elegant halls of the Perret building were hung with generic poster-size sheets of white paper, each bearing a highly distinctive, large-scale, monochrome illustration of a female face or body interlaced with a letterform.
This Miu Miu “alphabet” – all 26 letters were created for the occasion by M/M Paris in collaboration with Miuccia Prada – is designed to engage the wider world, and of course the Miu Miu customer, in a conversation that stretches beyond the immediate fashion show arena.
