Miu Miu x Pinball
Going Full-Tilt at North Star
A pinball table is complex—pops, orbits, flashers, outlanes, spinners, sticky flippers. Smaller features that make up the larger game. When a pinball table is left unattended, it falls into “attract mode”—undulating its lights from top to bottom. The same consideration might be given to dressing and making-up your body before a night out with friends—head to toe. From breadths of glossy patent leather in creamy ecru; to tiny, glittering crystal drop earrings; to fleshy, red rubber boots; like the pinball table, disparate ingredients often make for the most stimulating result. And what better match for a pinball game than Miu Miu? Tilting, draining, or dot matrix displaying—the two are of the same ilk. Equal parts glitz and adventure, Prada’s teen sister belongs with her friends in the arcade.
