Upcycling with Suki Waterhouse

Miu Miu has launched its new Upcycled collection. Any marks of ageing and the passing of time are celebrated. In this way the entire wardrobe is infused with the meaning and history of its past owners. Finished by hand, no two garments are the same in the collection. In the campaign’s images the Miu Miu Upcycled collection is styled with selected pieces from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection.

For 2026, Miu Miu Upcycled begins with the classic white cotton shirt and a pair of khaki cotton canvas chinos. These are two pieces beloved for their perfect fusion of form and function, sophistication and ease, both exemplifying a juxtaposition at the heart of the Miu Miu universe.

The selection of garments for the Miu Miu Upcycled collection was sourced, in limited numbers, from experts in vintage clothing across the world. Each piece is carefully restored, then refashioned. Silhouette is reinvented: exaggerated, abbreviated, oversized. Trousers become jackets, bustiers and skirts. Shirts are reiterated as dresses and apron tops. Sleeves are slashed, pockets are patched and finished with ribbons and bows. Collars are introduced in signature aged leather, buttons are removed and replaced, utilitarian surfaces are printed and embroidered with crystal flowers. Accessories are similarly reconsidered: a khaki pouch or backpack, printed, embroidered and with leather trim; the Plume sneaker in that same material, completed with personalised laces and charms.
