Miu Miu introduces the Upcycled 2026 collection as a conversation between the past and the present. Accompanied by a campaign featuring singer, model, and actress Suki Waterhouse, the project invokes the passage of time, offering an homage to the House’s archive through a considered, elegant perspective.

Sourced globally from vintage specialists and dismantled at the seams, each piece is restored and then reconstructed with artisanal precision. Shirts are reconceived as dresses and apron tops, while trousers evolve into jackets, bustiers, and skirts. Original hardware is removed, surfaces are reworked, and details such as slashed sleeves, patched pockets, and aged leather collars are introduced. The campaign extends this narrative into accessories, where functional items such as khaki pouches and backpacks are reworked with prints, embroidery, and leather trims. Meanwhile, sneakers receive similar treatments, including personalized laces and charms. Across the offering, the marks of time—subtle wear, patina, and imperfection—are preserved alongside the narratives of their previous lives, giving each creation a singular identity.

Announced on May 13 at the Miu Miu flagship in Ginza, Tokyo, and now available globally, the collection breathes new life into stories—extended, enriched, and ready to be worn again.
