The women of Miu Miu

The women of Miu Miu

Author: Monocle Radio November 8, 2024 Duration: 27:13

Italian luxury label Miu Miu has reported a 105 per cent rise in revenues – growing at a time when the majority of its rivals are seeing their sales decline. Part of its success is the way it participates in culture. This year the brands partnered with Art Basel Paris, bringing its ongoing ‘Women’s Tales’ film series to life with an exhibition that blended film, music, choreography and fashion. Natalie Theodosi speaks with one of the exhibition’s curators, Goshka Macuga and two of its filmmakers, Meriem Bennani and Haifa Al Mansour to understand the brand’s global appeal.

There’s a whole world of fabric, business, and creativity that exists beyond the runway show. Monocle on Fashion from Monocle Radio is your access to that world, guided by the publication’s fashion director, Natalie Theodosi. This isn’t just about seasonal trends; it’s a considered look at the forces shaping the industry, from manufacturing and retail to design and cultural impact. Each episode feels like a direct conversation, whether Natalie is sitting down with a visionary designer for a substantial interview, unpacking a piece of breaking fashion news with context, or filing a special report from a pivotal trade fair. The podcast regularly takes you behind the velvet rope and into the real workrooms, offering sonic visits to historic ateliers and emerging studios alike. You’ll get a grounded, intelligent perspective on everything from the global fashion week circuit to the craftsmanship defining tomorrow’s labels. For anyone who views fashion as a serious global industry and a dynamic art form, this series provides the depth and access often missing from the conversation. Tune in for a more nuanced understanding of what we wear and why it matters.
