MIU MIU's 'tiny skirt' goes viral, label's pleated micro-mini SOLD OUT in weeks

Miu Miu's low-rise pleated skirt has swept the fashion world, with stars like Nicole Kidman and Zendaya wearing it on magazine covers

Tiny skirts have always been on-trend, season after season. When paired with fashionable tops, hairstyles, and accessories, they are the perfect casual wear item. That being said, there is a new 'viral' mini skirt in town, even shorter than the typical mini skirt. It is from Miu ready-to-wear collection and the label definitely has a game-changer on its hands.

Miu Miu's low-rise, pleated, micro-mini skirt has swept the fashion world, with stars like Nicole Kidman and Zendaya wearing it on magazine covers. In October 2021, Miu Miu debuted the micro-mini skirt at its spring ‘2022 fashion’ collection. Designer Miuccia Prada designed the skirt which has become 'super viral' and social media users can't stop gushing about it. Many of the 90s fashion trends are making an updated come back and the Miu Miu skirt is no different. Remember the 1998 Britney Spears’ song ‘Baby One More Time’? Britney's ultra short school skirt had made waves back then and the new Miu Miu skirt is reminiscent of Britney’s skirt but it is even tinier.

Despite an outrageous price tag of $950 for the khaki miniskirt and $1,150 for the slightly longer variant, Miu Miu has sold out the style within a few weeks. While it has been heavily criticised by some fashionistas, the demand hasn't waned. The demand for the Miu Miu skirt can be seen via the 900 daily searches for it in the last week of February. The Miu Miu skirt set has grown in popularity to the point where fan accounts are being created on Instagram. So how is Twitter world handling it? Many love it, including celebrities, but overall, Twitter users are pretty tired of it. One user wrote, “If i see that miu miu mini skirt one more time” while another wrote, “I'm so tired of the low rise miu miu skirt. it's truly peak, "is it fashion or is the model just skinny".....it ain't cute.” Another user wrote, “I fear we are never moving on from the Miu Miu mini skirts! I’ll be 90 and still seeing them on the cover of Vogue”. It could be possible, maybe. What are your thoughts?
