Upcycled by Miu Miu is a special collection of vintage dresses reworked and transformed by Miu Miu. The collection, comprising just 80 one-off and numbered designs, is built around precious, anonymous finds, dating from the Thirties to the Eighties, carefully sourced from vintage clothing stores and markets worldwide.
“For 10 years I dressed in vintage. I always asked myself why I liked it so much, and I think it’s the history. Each dress represents a person, a piece of a life. For me, the past always had an incredible value because anything you learn comes from there.”
