If Franke does have a co-star, it’s Miu Miu’s latest offering of shoes. The clothing is nice and everything (I mean, I would wear everything Franke is wearing in every picture, but some of the animal print and billowy denim dressing the other models is not my scene), but the shoooooesssss. I don’t know how to express my longing and desire to own shoes like that and be the kind of person that owns and wears shoes like that (that’s just a figure of speech, I’m actually perfectly happy being the boot-wearing person that I am) except by saying, shoooooesssss.
The campaign is set in a house I’d like to visit, and I think these are women I’d like to know. That is, this would be a house I’d like to visit and these would look like women I’d like to know if I wanted to live in an ambiguously sexual and kind of depressing love nest and be surrounded by people that often act in unnecessarily selfish and erratic ways.
I think that when I was a kid, I imagined I would become like one of these women someday (so dark and faux-soulful), not realizing that women like this exist only in luxury Italian fashion campaigns. That’s a good thing: the models here might look beautiful, but they also look like they’re a second away from having a nervous breakdown. Wish someone could make having it together look as aspirational as being a mess.
