The Spring Summer 2024 campaign for the Church’s x Miu Miu collaboration breathes new life into the concept of chic with a blend of disheveled elegance and relaxed confidence. Following the introduction of their partnership during the Fall Winter 2023 fashion show in Paris, this season sees the reinterpretation of Church’s classic ‘Shanghai’ style, a design first introduced in 1929. The modernity and refinement that both Church’s and Miu Miu are known for are encapsulated in the updated Church’s x Miu Miu Shanghai, showcasing a fusion of heritage and contemporary fashion.
Captured by the lens of photographer Lengua, models Matilda Liedholm and Judith Shyambala are set against the lush backdrop of a country garden, complete with grand topiary and a bespoke striped jacquard reminiscent of summertime upholstery. This setting frames their relaxed poses and gestures, creating a striking juxtaposition between the natural and the mannered, the organic and the contrived. Through this vibrant imagery, the campaign transports the essence of heritage into a fresh, youthful context, aiming to enrich and inform the present.
The campaign highlights the unique interplay between traditional respect and contemporary ease. The craftsmanship and structure of the Church’s x Miu Miu Shanghai shoe – evident in its conventional toe and heel – are harmoniously blended with modern elements, such as a rounded last, a natural color palette, and the integration of malleable canvas with aged leather polished to a luxurious finish. These details underscore the shoe’s quality as well as its versatility and ability to bridge the gap between past and present.
Miu Miu’s hallmark contrasts are ever-present in the campaign, giving equal importance to dichotomies such as old and new, dressed and undressed, formal and informal, and the concepts of time passing versus time standing still. Through this dynamic balance, the Church’s x Miu Miu Spring Summer 2024 campaign upholds the spirit of both brands, celebrating their shared values of innovation, craftsmanship, and a nuanced understanding of fashion’s evolving landscape.
