and Pharrell Williams have joined forces to create a new line of freshwater pearl jewelry. The collection, which is inspired by the beauty and elegance of pearls, is designed to be both timeless and modern. The collection features a range of pieces, from delicate necklaces and earrings to statement bracelets and rings.
“The water is a symbol of life and change. It represents the flow of time, the ebb and flow of energy, and the constant transformation of matter. The collection draws on the fluidity and adaptability of water to create a sense of movement and dynamism in the pieces.”
This statement is a perfect example of how a designer can use a theme to inspire their work.

This fall, the luxury retailer will kick-off its milestone 25th anniversary celebrations with events across all its seven brick and mortar stores in California and New York City, in-store trunk shows, designer appearances and charitable events. Additionally, the in-house ElyseWalker label is releasing an anniversary cardigan with 10% of sales donated to charities that support women’s health. “When I opened my first store 25 years ago, I knew that I wanted a store to feel like a home base within the community. More than a store, it was where friends and family got together to connect, celebrate and of course, shop,” founder Elyse Walker said. “While we might have grown, two things have not changed: our passion to deliver a curated point of view and unparalleled styling to our clients and our commitment to give back in our communities”
This commitment is evident in her recent partnership with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The partnership is a significant step towards addressing racial injustice and promoting equality. Walker’s collaboration with the NAACP is a testament to her belief in the power of fashion to inspire positive change.
The company’s expansion strategy is based on a multi-pronged approach, focusing on both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. This strategy has been successful in driving significant revenue growth and market share expansion. The company’s commitment to customer service is unwavering, with a focus on providing personalized experiences and building long-lasting relationships.
Every collaboration and film commission by Miu Miu Women’s Tales, and a selection of video pieces from Miu Miu runway shows since Spring/Summer 2022, will be represented in the show by a character, a hero or an anti-hero, directly extracted from these films and artistic collaborations and reenacted by actors alongside a video projection of the original film. “Tales & Tellers” will also include screenings of all commissioned short films, together with a programming of conversations inspired by Miu Miu’s collaborations across the spectrum of filmmaking, art and fashion. At the core of founder Miuccia Prada’s Miu Miu is a fascination with the lives of women: their experiences, their histories and their tales. This has always included culture alongside fashion, and in 2011, Miu Miu Women’s Tales launched, platforming female filmmakers to present their own views of the plurality of femininity.
Miu Miu’s commitment to exploring the multifaceted nature of womanhood is evident in its recent runway shows. The brand has moved beyond traditional fashion presentations and embraced a more experimental approach, incorporating elements of art, film, and performance into its shows. For instance, in 2021, Miu Miu presented a runway show that featured a series of installations, each exploring a different aspect of womanhood.
