What if the future of luxury lay in the past? That’s the promise made by Catherine Martin in her collaboration with Miu Miu Upcycled, the Italian fashion house’s flagship project launched in 2020<\/em>. The four-time Oscar-winning Australian designer brilliantly blends cinema, couture and ecological awareness, giving rise to a collection – and a short film – that question as much as they sublimate. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Grande Envie: a film, an atmosphere<\/h2>\n\n

Directed by Martin herself, \u201cGrande Envie\u201d<\/strong> brings this collection to life like a period dream. In a castle frozen in time, Willem Dafoe<\/strong>, Daisy Ridley<\/strong> and three young women evolve in a haunted in camera setting. Ghosts of love and textile relics merge: the dress becomes a memory, the fabric a reminiscence<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

The inspiration? The 1920s-1930s<\/em> on the C\u00f4te d’Azur<\/strong>, captured in a style reminiscent of Jacques Henri Lartigue<\/strong> ‘s photos: blurred, light, suspended moments. <\/p>\n\n

When clothing becomes memory<\/h2>\n\n

Nothing here is new. Every piece is sourced, reworked and upcycled<\/strong>. Catherine Martin<\/strong> dares all tensions: lace versus denim, rowing blazer and vintage scarf<\/strong>, evening gown and striped t-shirt. The result? A hybrid elegance<\/strong>, between nostalgia and audacity. <\/p>\n\n
