Italian brand celebrates Chinese New Year
Italian brand Miu Miu is celebrating Chinese New Year with a short film directed by acclaimed screenwriter and filmmaker Wei Shujun, featuring Miu Miu brand ambassadors Liu Haocun and Zhao Jinmai. Titled The Encounter and filmed at Yi Lau Yi, a bustling Cantonese tea restaurant in Beijing, the story captures the two young actors enjoying their drink, cat-walking and grooving to the music as they are entertained by a local band.
The actors are dressed in a collection that captures the spirit of joy and New Year celebration, featuring oversized sweaters and blouson jackets, preppy tweeds and checks, jewel-encrusted denim, aged leather and cotton poplin shirts and shorts, all styled with signature ballerinas, loafers, strappy kitten heels, Plume and New Balance X Miu Miu sneakers, glamorous opera gloves and delicate pearl chains. The Penny, Wander and Arcadie bags, offered in exclusive iterations, take center stage, accompanied by baseball caps, rose-tinted eyewear and playful bag charms, including a crochet-knit serpent and, in select stores, personalized Chinese knots. Logo zip-front hoodies, T-shirts and cotton underwear in lucky red are also available to commemorate the occasion.
