Now, let’s talk bags. Not just any bags—these are the Wander and the Arcadie, the crown jewels of Miu Miu’s matelassé universe. The Wander, It’s a bit like James Bond swapping his tux for a leather jacket—sleek, mysterious, and ready for action. While the Arcadie it’s the new kid on the block, making its debut with a wink and a promise. Think of it as the rebellious younger sibling who’s about to steal the spotlight.

Now, let’s get poetic. These bags are more than accessories; they’re bold, rhythmic, and impossible to ignore. Gigi, halfway between fashion model and cultural icon, is the perfect conduit for this fashion symphony. She’s got that “I’ve got secrets” look, the kind that makes you lean in closer, hoping she’ll spill the tea. And boy, does she spill it—in style.

The campaign draws inspiration from Yevonde, a British photographer who rocked the interwar scene. She was a feminist, a suffragette, and a trailblazer. Imagine opening your own studio at 21, back when women’s professions were limited to “smile and look pretty.” Yevonde signed her work with just her first name, asserting her identity like a boss. Her images? Ground-breaking. Models draped in surreal props, hues that defy gravity, and a touch of whimsy. It’s like she whispered, “Come on, man, let’s break the rules.”

And guess what? Miu Miu channels Yevonde’s spirit. The campaign captures that delicate balance between reality and surreality. Saturated hues meet porcelain pastels, and bags become art. The Arcadie struts its stuff in classic Caramel and Cognac, but wait for it—bright orange and soleil crash the party. 

Meisel’s lens captures it all—the fallen petals, the carefully-gestured hands, the bags cradled like precious secrets. It’s a nod to the past, but with a modern twist. Because, my friends, fashion isn’t just about what you wear; it’s about how you wear it. And Gigi? She wears it like a boss.
