Offering an antidote to back-to-work blues, Miu Miu’s newly unveiled, workwear-inspired Prelude collection sets the tone for the year ahead. Harnessing the label’s signature irreverent and utilitarian appeal, stylist Lotta Volkova primes the Miu Miu girl for a year of empowerment and sartorial ease.

In a series of images lensed by Julie Greve, fashion is juxtaposed with function through cotton poplin shirting, puffed micro-mini skirts, pragmatic apron dresses and shrunken knitwear. Covetable accessories adorned with customised charms, such as the Plume and Tyre sneakers take centre stage, as do the Arcadie and Beau Bowling bags rendered in a versatile palette of soft creams, greys and browns. We’ll be looking no further than Prelude for our next office fashion fix.
