MiuMiusic – the first fashion App inspired by music (more than fashion)

MiuMiusic is the name (which I think it’s absolutely nice) of the first fashion App created by Prada Group that deals with music more than fashion itself. So weird.

It was surprisingly to read about it and then discover it’s totally focused on several tracks composed by one oft he most legendary DJ – Frédéric Sanchez – that you can choose and ‘remix’ by adding them to a sort of playlist. Then a frameless mix of projections will run on your screen as if you’re creating the video for this tracks.

Obviously what it’s shown is about Miu Miu style and fashion: shoes that becomes high heels, flying bags, psychedelic frames: the perfect 90s’ mood!
