Margiela meets a bleeched out sporty Miu Miu Fall 2OO8 RTW with a similar nudist colony colour pallette to Camilla and Marc. Powerful women: Delilah and Cleopatra are the inspiration, and Myf was just the figure to encompass the essence of strength. It began with simply cut beautiful shirts, but it was towards the end of the show I remembered why she is one of my favorite designers- I still have a Youth World turtleneck on serious rotation. Therese hits the mark without trying too hard, she knows everyone is doing structured shoulders so she highlights them with a softer detail, and the emphasis on tan bike pants is sublime, I have tried it once and it looked like my grandmother dressed me. SS09/10 sees the introduction of capsule knitwear & jewellery collections which moves her in line to show in New York alongside Karen Walker. Already with stockists in Australia, NZ, USA, UK & Japan including The Corner Shop, Bloodorange, Ksubi, Fallow, Wasteland, Midwest, Couverture, Oak, Creatures of Comfort, Pas de Deux I think she is going to be super big.
