Miu Miu Resort 2021

The Miu Miu resort collection was shown with no fanfare in its Milanese showroom months ago. The arrival of these images is an indicator of how fashion timelines have been disrupted by the pandemic; as a prequel to the spring 2021 show, which was recently livestreamed on video, these pictures would have once been introduced before it. But aligning deliveries with the seasons is now a business priority for fashion companies, as it raises the hopes of whetting the customers’ appetite for a bit of festive dressing up, forcing them out of exhausted sweats and worn-out loungewear. Christmas is definitely coming—but parties?

Giving in to doom and gloom isn’t a sensible option—it won’t turn the situation around for the better. Confronting the present circumstances by taking a positive stance seems the intelligent—albeit rather difficult—thing to do. And if the young Miu Miu clients are up for celebration, longing for a good time, who can blame such sentiments? Buying a good piece of fashion is a bona fide mood lifter that can help fight pandemic fatigue after the variously orchestrated curfews and quarantines.

Miu Miu fans will find plenty to like in this collection. As the look book’s images prove well enough, it’s a rather diverse offering, full of delightfully mismatched concoctions of vintage-y frocks, sporty pieces, glam eveningwear, and seductive lingerie. The overall effect is sensuality tinged with irreverence, ingenuity spiked with self-confidence, and a certain cheeky nonchalance. Jumbling a tux with a pair of track pants, throwing a men’s silk robe de chambre over a rose-printed strapless prom dress, or wearing a cool rockabilly coat with a leopard-printed frilly crinoline—the Miu Miu woman is a master of artsy self-representation, reconciling clashing pieces into unconventional-enough, yet well-put-together looks. She apparently knows how to balance what’s off-balance—which sounds exactly what we should all be trying to do now.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout

A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.

The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.

There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.

The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.

Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack

Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.

The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.

None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.

Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
