Miu Miu stages ‘Tales & Tellers' installation/performance project in New York
'Tales & Tellers' was originally conceived by Miuccia Prada as a constantly evolving project. It has been developed by multi-disciplinary artist Goshka Macuga and convened by Elvira Dyangani Ose, director of the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (Macba), Barcelona's contemporary art museum. The project blends different narratives and perspectives to explore the notion of femininity's constant transformation.
It premièred in Paris in October 2024, and its second iteration was presented in New York on May 10-11. 'Tales & Tellers' is based on the concept of narration as a way to convey knowledge, and the notion that the storytellers are just as important as their stories' content. The project combines physical installations, videos and live performances. A single character is extrapolated from the artistic interventions at past Miu Miu runway shows, and from each of the films in the Women's Tales series created by Miu Miu since 2011, and the character's actions are reinterpreted by an actor, with the original video screened in parallel.
The presentation is a collaboration between Macuga, Dyangani Ose and theatre and opera director Fabio Cherstich, and included 36 performances, drawn from seven artistic interventions and the 29 films of Miu Miu's Women's Tales.

Miu Miu back on top in latest Lyst Index, hottest product is The Row's simple but pricey flip-flop
If anyone thought Miu Miu was set to run out of steam any time soon, they couldn't be more wrong. The Prada -owned brand that has been on a remarkable high in recent years is still up there and it's back at number one in the newly released Lyst index for Q2. See catwalk As well as Miu Miu's ongoing success, Lyst said the quarter saw 'a dramatic shift from polished to personality' and fashion shoppers 'pivoting to high-impact, lower-cost accessories and footwear amid recession concerns. Beyond the viral Labubu craze, brand heat came from expressive, storytelling brands and standout shoes'. In fact, 60% of the hottest products were footwear and we're not talking about just one type as in the not-so-far-off days of sneaker dominance. This time, the hottest products spanned 'the functional, nostalgic, and avant-garde'. More of that later, first let's look at the top brands. Miu Miu rose one spot back to number one, replacing Loewe, which fell to second place. Saint Laurent was steady at number three, ahead of Prada (+1), Coach (-1), The Row (+2), COS (-1), Chloé (+1), Bottega Veneta (-2) and Moncler (+1). They made up the top 10 and behind them in the rest of the top 20 were Ralph Lauren (+1), Alaïa (-2), Balenciaga (+1), Jacquemus (+2), SKIMS (no move), Versace (-3), Burberry (re-entering the top 20), Gucci (-1), Birkenstock (another newcomer), and Valentino (no move). See catwalk Why was Miu Miu so hot? It seems to be striking a chord with affluent youthful consumers and it's very good at turning out hit products. Its suede, logo-embossed boat shoe/loafer was the fourth hottest item in Q2. 'Striking a balance between preppy nostalgia and contemporary edge, the popular boat shoes channel a back-to-school sensibility that resonated across markets,' Lyst said. Also notable, The Row achieved its highest index ranking to date, buoyed by the performance of the Dune flip flop, which was the quarter's hottest product. Searches for the $690 shoe rose by 162% this time, with interest rising "significantly" after Jonathan Bailey stepped out in a pair during a June press appearance. Burberry's return after a year out of the top 20 saw it 'effectively capitalising on a resurgent 'cool Britannia' vibe, a strong festival campaign and growing demand for Burberry menswear'. And Chloé is 'creeping up the Top 10, with demand on Lyst up 33% in Q2. The breezy, bohemian Chloé revival continues to gain ground with shoppers worldwide'. See catwalk Meanwhile, H&M Group's COS remains the only high street brand in the Top 10, with 'positioning and demand cemented by [its] critically-acclaimed April runway show'. As usual Lyst also identified three 'Moving Fast' brands and they included a venerable label, Pucci. Endorsed by Hailey Bieber, Addison Rae and Dua Lipa, searches for Pucci increased 96% quarter on quarter. The most wanted pieces for a 'Pucci Girl Summer' were the Marmo and Orchidee swirly halterneck mini dresses, tops and swimsuits. Also strong was Rohe, the Amsterdam-based, minimalist label that saw demand spiking 27%. And eyewear brand Jacques Marie Mage saw a 34% increase in demand, 'reflecting the rising value placed on accessories that carry narrative and craftsmanship'. Product hits As for the hottest products globally, as mentioned, six of the top 10 were shoes. The appearance of the Dune sandals from The Row in top spot was pretty surprising even given the fact that they're an obvious pick for summer. But these shoes come with an ultra-luxury price tag and mimic the kind of flip-flops that can be found anywhere and everywhere. The level of interest in these particular shoes shows just how strong The Row is as a label. Something similar could be said about the number two product, which was a simple cotton ribbed tank top by SKIMS. It spiked 230% this quarter, 'helped by positive TikTok buzz and the continued trend for 'effortless' elevated basics'. It's interesting after those two simple summer classics were in the top two spots that the third place product also fits into that category. It was the Adidas classic sprinter shorts. First seen in the late 1970s, Q2 saw a 121% increase in demand, with celebrity fans including Harry Styles and Bella Hadid. Athletic shorts are a key trend this summer with searches for sports shorts up 78% on Lyst in Q2. Miu Miu's suede loafers were in fourth place as referenced earlier, followed by Vibram's V-Soul flat that saw a 110% increase in traffic. Lyst said 'this continues the hybridisation of performance and fashion we saw in Q1 with Puma 's Speedcat Ballet'. And talking of ballet flats, Ancient Greek Sandals' Iro version was sixth. Juju Vera's shell pendant necklace came in at number seven and we're told it 'signals cultural clout, tapping into the emotional register of handcrafted nostalgia and the ongoing appetite for talismanic, coastal-adjacent jewellery'. Back with shoes, Isabel Marant 's Bekett wedge sneaker was 'the latest shoe to capitalise on a Y2K-fuelled TikTok revival' in eighth place. Demand was up 630% year on year. In ninth place Faithfull The Brand's Hedy staples dress was a clear summer hit and rounding out the top 10, Prada's Collapse Re-Nylon sneakers underscored just how important footwear is this season.

Messy Schoolgirl - Fall/Winter 2026 (Livetrend)
Messy Schoolgirl. She's dressing for a world that exists only in her head. The Messy Schoolgirl doesn't follow rules, she rewrites them mid-semester. She pairs a polo with a tulle skirt, gym socks with kitten heels, glasses over lip gloss, and calls it fashion. Her look is a love letter to contradiction: part brat, part bookworm, always a little off: and that's exactly the point. The Messy Schoolgirl Mood. Rooted in the rise of the 'messy girl aesthetic', this trend embraces the chaos of daily dressing: layering without logic, mixing function with fantasy, and treating accessories like emotional punctuation. She's not chasing perfection. She's styling from instinct, impulse, and inner dialogue. The delulu mindset isn't about escaping reality. It's about bending it, charming it, overdressing for it. There's a strong retro twist, but nothing is nostalgic in a literal way. Think Wes Anderson meets early 2000s tween drama, shot through a Miu Miu lens. The uniform archetype is dismantled and reassembled with sporty bits, chic details, and a sense of absurdity-as-elegance. Each look reads like a diary entry. Oversharing in the best way. Is she okay? Not really. But she looks brilliant. Data to drive Creativity.
