If there was any doubt about where fashion is headed, Miu Miu cleared it up at the Paris Fashion Week. The Miuccia Prada house presented its spring-summer 2027 collection with a clear message: heels take a back seat and the absolute focus is on comfortable shoes.
On the runway walked Emma Corrin and Olivia Colman, two figures representing that idea of authentic, everyday beauty that runs through the entire collection. But beyond the looks, there was one detail that drew the attention of fashion experts: the way Miu Miu decided to pair ultra-sophisticated garments with sneakers and loafers, discarding stilettos as a symbol of elegance.
How to wear sneakers according to Miu Miu
Far from being reserved for sporty looks, sneakers become the new wildcard of the wardrobe.
The main standout is the new New Balance x Miu Miu RC150, an ultralight running silhouette reinterpreted with technical mesh, visible laces and a palette that blends neutral tones with vibrant colors.
The key is contrast. On the runway they appeared paired with tailored suits, embroidered dresses, pencil skirts and vintage-inspired fabrics, proving that sneakers today can coexist perfectly with evening wear or with an office look.
The result is a relaxed, modern and much more versatile styling, a formula that is already being seen among the leading street style stars.
Loafers remain the most elegant shoe
If sneakers represent the sportier side, loafers are established as the season’s chic footwear.
Miu Miu proposes them with fine socks, midi skirts, light dresses and tailored suits, reaffirming that there is no longer a need to reach for heels to achieve a sophisticated look.
The loafers are back in the place once occupied by stilettos: they are comfortable, timeless, and work both day and night.
Luxury now travels through the everyday
Miuccia Prada’s proposal centers on a very clear idea: turning everyday clothes into objects of desire.
That’s why, in the collection, sportswear coexists with embroidered dresses, shirts paired with sweaters, leather with denim, and vintage references reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective. The classic codes mix and redefine themselves to build a wardrobe where elegance no longer depends on rigidity or formality.
The collaborations that sparked talk
In addition to the collection, the show presented two partnerships that promise to become objects of desire.
On one side, Miu Miu Upcycled x Wrangler, which reinterprets late-20th-century vintage jeans through artisanal processes, incorporating details such as the collection’s signature crisscross lacing.
On the other hand, arrived the fifth chapter of the collaboration with New Balance, which again demonstrates that athletic sneakers remain one of the strongest pieces of contemporary luxury.
The trend that will dominate 2027
More than a collection, Miu Miu presented a new way of understanding dressing. Comfort stops being an option and becomes synonymous with luxury, while sneakers and loafers decisively displace heels as the footwear most desired.
A trend that has already started to appear on the streets and that, after the Paris show, carries the endorsement of one of the brands that best interprets the present state of fashion.
