Re: your ive thoughts

Apparently one of the members, wonyoung, is a brand ambassador for Miu Miu, so I suspect the stylists were probably strong armed into using the collection because of that rather than willingly choosing to do that. Miu Miu is bringing back my “preteen/teenager in the 00s” fashion trauma and body image issues, and I’m very not impressed. Those types of skirts didn’t really need to come back, and honestly I don’t see any way you could salvage them even for adults, let alone for actual children. So if it was a brand sponsorship type of thing, I feel like the stylists never stood a chance making it work. Definitely was a “wtf why did they do this” double take for me in the mv.

BRUH WHAT THE FUCK THEY HAVE A SEVENTEEN YRO AS A BRAND AMBASSADOR?!?!??!?!?!?!? STARSHIP WHAT ARE YOU DOING

ok not to get more art grad student about it again but like. fashion sits at kind of a weird place where people don't always view it as art, and therefore when there are things that have a more extreme conceptual bend to them, a lot of that meaning gets lost. and that collection as a whole has a much more extreme conceptual bend; there's models fully clothed in corporate attire next to ones in their underwear, there is very clearly intention and commentary there. however because it's so so borderline with 'acceptable' fashion that it's much more likely to be used as garments outside of context than something like, for example, the thom browne fw22. and i have seen interesting uses of that miu miu collection in shoots (it has been mostly on 'unconventional' people, which is telling):

but i still don't think it's an appropriate styling choice in this case. if the group was five years older (at least) and they were specifically making a comment about uniforms or office jobs or what have you then yea sure, i think it would work well. but for a cupid concept on teenagers? yea it sounds to me like it might have been juryrigged in because of a brand sponsorship. even if it was that, they still had to do so much altering to them that i doubt brand would have been pleased anyways? idk. who knows what the actual reasoning was but it definitely isn't a choice i would have made
