miu miu DIY. returns.

Miu Miu mania, some may say madness, was caused by the Spring/Summer collection, as the blogosphere was buzzing with DIY'S and heaps of  creativity as we attempted to recreate the look. I took on a simple cat brooch, and a pair of swallow adorned gold wedges, which recieved the most page views of all time.
Now Miuccia is back for the Autumn/Winter with some of the most lust worthy pieces once more. I absolutely adore the shot of Hanneli in her vintage print trousers and mint green collar, and the endless editorials filled with pieces from the collection. I also can't get enough of the square toed shoes complete with bows and metal flowers ...( kind of wish more had higher heels), felted structural dresses, and of course the bow neck collars.
So good news....the navy blue miu miu collar in the previous post is actually my latest D.I.Y project .... I have been super excited about sharing it with you.
The hardest part was choosing 1. the right material 2. what colour to make 3. working out which style/size to make each component.  I admit it took about 6 hours, concentration, and much patience... but I am a stupid perfectionist when it comes to sewing. Here goes......


taaaaa dahhhhh.... the completed article. Katie.x Will you be attempting it?xxx

    Looks fantastic, you wouldn't be able to tell it was DIY! I honestly thought it was real in your last post and was very jealous that you had a new Mulberry and Mui Mui.

    AMAZING! Seriously, that is so simple I can't believe I haven't seen any before! Why pay hundreds when you can do it for... £2?!
    I think I will try this, I haven't tried any of the others but, although I actually didn't like the bows before (the colour and material looks a bit naff) this is much nicer! Maybe gingham or polkadots.... oooh, you've got my creative juices running again, thank you!
