Luxury doesn't need sunshine to shine. Twelve years ago in Paris, Miuccia Prada proved exactly that. For Miu Miu's Fall 2014 collection, transparent plastic raincoats, skirts, and boots took center stage on the runway. Quilted nylon and windbreakers, materials defined by function, ran throughout the collection. What truly caught the eye was the way transparent rainwear revealed the layers underneath. Practical rain boots were reborn in clear plastic, and Miuccia revealed she had spent a month perfecting the windbreaker.
Twelve years on, rain boots and functional outerwear are no longer reserved for rainy days alone. With rain forecast across much of the country this weekend, the Fall 2014 Miu Miu collection is worth revisiting if you're wondering what to wear. Transparent layers, the erasure of boundaries between function and luxury, that collection remains relevant. Do you dress for fashion even in the rain, or do you let the weather dictate your wardrobe?
