How Upcycled by Miu Miu Is Breathing New Life Into Vintage Pieces

Hand selecting what can only be described as wearable antiques the Italian fashion house has reimagined dresses from decades past, adding its own playful spin to create one-of-a-kind treasures

There’s something truly special about anything vintage; however, our love affair for clothing, bags and accessories from years gone by runs deep.

There’s no greater feeling than stepping out with a bit history dangling from one’s wrist or shimmying across the dancefloor in wonder of glitter and gold, sparkling like nothing else ever created in modern times. For those of us who identify as “Old Souls,” craving nostalgic energies from eras well before our time get ready to fall in love…

One Italian fashion house is pulling on our heartstrings with its new concept project that is both sustainable and unique, as it reimagines vintage dressing like never before. Upcycled by Miu Miu can best be described as a fresh take on select few dresses (all in the most iconic silhouettes from their time) from the thirties through to the seventies, hand selected and restored to (what would appear to be) brand new, before being re-fashioned with a few of the house’s signature elements and style, from embroidery to embellishments.

With a selection of the vintage dresses available at the Dubai Mall Fashion Avenue boutique, get ready to be swept away in a whirlwind romance where yesteryear has its modern-day Miu Miu moment in the spotlight. Here, Bazaar takes a closer look at a few pieces from the project.
