Miu Miu vs. Prada

Have you ever looked at a Miu Miu collection and wondered, “Is this Prada?” You’re not alone. Although the label has a lot in common with its sister brand —price point, creative aesthetic and customer demographic— it serves as a unique counterpoint to not only Prada but all the design houses being fed to us today.

Since its inception in 1993, Miu Miu has been breaking the traditional boundaries of fashion and taken on a rebellious spirit that mimics its founder, Miuccia Prada. Young, fresh and smart, Miu Miu isn’t just the little sister of Prada but a brand with flair that’s all its own. Not convinced? Here are a few things that make Miu Miu different.

  1. While early shows were staged in New York, London and Milan, the world of Miu Miu crystalized when the label first showed in Paris in 2006. It hasn’t stopped showing there since, despite Prada remaining in Paris.
  2. If these two brands were sisters in high school, Prada would be the valedictorian while Miu Miu would be the most likely to succeed.
  3. Playing on masculine and feminine, historic references and a jilted modernity, Miu Miu gives elegance and sophistication a new and twisted meaning while Prada keeps things minimal and polished.
  4. Each brand references the other while still differentiating themselves.  A look or fabric or theme originally conceived for a Prada collection may be resurrected, distorted or reinvented several seasons later by Miu Miu, but in a much younger way.
  5. Miu Miu only offers womenswear while Prada offers both. (Note: Miu Miu previously showed menswear but closed the label in 2008)
  6. Miu Miu is playful, clever and contrary, which makes it a subversive contrast to its elder label’s prim sharpness.

Whether you’re a fan of Miu Miu or Prada or both, you can’t deny the mastery behind Miuccia Prada’s younger brand.
