Miu Miu Day/Night

Day/Night. Real/Unreal. A portrait of rebel youth, emerging out of darkness into light – reflected from the surfaces of elegantly subversive clothing. For this collection, Miuccia Prada continues her rediscovery of the Miu Miu identity, drawing on the past to build the future and on codes that are at once familiar – obsessional – and new; personal and universal. In that same spirit, the tropes of the evening wardrobe merge with those of daywear, specifically uniform, in many guises, sliced and slashed as proportions are continuously reinvented and the character of the looks themselves - and of the people who wear them - come to the fore. Both time and place are indistinguishable, studiously resisting definition. Skirts are pleated and shirts and jackets radically cropped, leaving midriffs bare. The quintessentially bourgeois tailleur is edged with oversized crystals and merged with a sportswear silhouette. Bright white tennis skirts, with Miu Miu branding stamped onto go faster stripes, are worn low on the hip with brief cardigans in fondant shades. Sinuous satin tea dresses are sensual, suggestive of the body beneath, but finished with naïve puff sleeves. The Miu Wander bag is hugged close to the body: plump and pleasing in iconic matelassé leather. A provocative play between innocence and experience, an ageless wardrobe, an atmosphere of disorientation and a world difficult to define prevails. Here are clothes to work, play and dance in, wherever and whoever the person wearing them may be. In this way, the clothes are an extension of the self, and the self is expressive of a free spirit, of a community of like-minded beings who identify with each other through a celebration of individuality – a celebration of style. Featuring Angel Prost, Coumba Samba, Mica Kendall and Tanya Churbanova.

Miu Wander Campaign starring Sydney Sweeney

Wander - to roam, to explore, indulge curiosity. To discover. Those instincts inspire the #MiuWander handbag by #MiucciaPrada, a rediscovery and re-exploration of the identity of #MiuMiu, through a new perspective. The Miu Wander delineates the codes of Miu Miu with a fresh attitude. Executed in the tactile Matelassé leather, simultaneously playful and sophisticated, that has become a Miu Miu hallmark, the curved lines of the Wander underscore an omnipresent femininity. The pillowy surface invites touch, yet the easy handle - punched through the body of the bag itself - offers innate practicality, fusing pragmatism with decoration. It gives you the freedom to wander at will. In the same spirit, the actor Sydney Sweeney - of Euphoria and The White Lotus - stars as the face of the Miu Wander, within a campaign photographed by Tyrone Lebon. The spirit of rebellion embodied by Sydney’s characters mirrors the ethos of Miu Miu, a twisted luxury energised by youthful rule-breaking - the hallmark of the Miu Miu girl, here embodied anew. Across the campaign, Sydney is reframed within her craft, captured in imagery that recalls classic film stills. These portraits seem like fragments of a wider narrative, enigmatic and elusive - switching between different contexts, different moods and feelings, they encourage the viewer to imagine scenarios, devise plots. They inspire the mind to wander.

Kiss of the Rabbit God (兔兒神)

A Chinese-American restaurant worker falls in love with an 18th century Qing dynasty god who visits him at night and leads him on a journey of sexual awakening and self discovery. Starring: Teddy Lee (as “Matt”) Jeff Chen (as “Tu’er Shen” aka The Rabbit God) Production Designer: Stella Deng Hair Makeup & Adornments: Tanya Melendez Costume Designer: Stephanie Strate Sound Designer: Nathan Ruyle Editor & Original Music Composer: Andrew Thomas Huang Executive Producers: Sara Greco & Natalie Difford DIRECTOR STATEMENT: In 2018 I was asked by London-based culture platform NOWNESS to create a film on the theme "Define Sex." As a queer Asian filmmaker I had yet been tasked with the challenge of representing my sexual identity on screen. This challenge was a loaded one. Having grown up with a deficit of queer Asian visibility onscreen along with the frequent stigmatization and devaluing of Asian male bodies in Western visual culture, being asked to create a piece centered around queer Asian characters became a dauntingly personal journey for me to unpack these issues, while also crafting a story that I felt enriched our collective imagination of what queer Asian male love, sex and intimacy could aspire to be. On a trip to Mexico City, I encountered an exhibition on Xōchipilli, the Aztec god of flowers and patron of gay love. The story of Xōchipilli inspired me to redirect my lens toward my own Chinese heritage, through which I found the Qing dynasty story of Tu'er Shen, 兔兒神 , known as the Rabbit God. Written by 18th century poet Yuan Mei, the myth of Tu'er Shen traces a Fujianese soldier who was sentenced to death for professing his love to another man. In death, the soldier was ordained The Rabbit God and became the patron deity of gay love. Today, Tu'er Shen is still worshipped at a temple dedicated to him in New Taipei City, Taiwan where religious ceremonies are performed for gay couples. This research led me to craft a narrative about a Chinese restaurant worker who encounters Tu'er Shen as a ghostly visitor. Nightly visits from the god blossom into a tryst that empowers the boy to release his sense of trapped invisibility and embark on a journey of sexual awakening and discovery. Interweaving my personal family history in the Chinese restaurant business with the richness of Chinese mythology, "Kiss of the Rabbit God" is a confession and a love letter to my queer Asian community and tells the story of a lover's quest for self-possession to own one's desire and unlock sexual intimacy through spiritual embodiment.
