Miu Miu fall 1997 ready to wear "circus-themed" collection
“Miu Miu is romantic but edgy,” Claire Danes told The Evening Standard from her front-row perch at Miu Miu’s fall 1997 show, which was presented in London. The actress spoke from experience, having worn the brand in Romeo + Juliet. What this collection had in common with the Baz Luhrmann movie was an underlying sense of forbidden pleasures. According to designer Miuccia Prada, it followed the story of “of a very young girl”—a clotheshorse—“working at the circus.”
