Breaking fashion news folks! Logos are officially out, initials are IN! In the Miu Miu show, which just wrapped up, models wore pins that spelled out their own initials. Even with its disconcerting Scarlett Letter nod and as a potential magnet for infantile pick-up lines (”Hey, what’s S.P. stand for, So Pretty?”), the alphabetical accent adds to the season’s anti-accessory trend. By opting for these simple, personalized statements in lieu of the house’s identifiable It-totes, Miuccia Prada put the emphasis on the wearer instead of the wearer’s wardrobe. A novel concept–and somewhat altruistic considering those must-have letters bring in the same $ as a handbag–to be sure, but we’ve grown to expect nothing less from the forward-thinking designer. Question is, who will sport them first? A.O. or C.S.?
