What to know about Miaou
Built around fit, not prints
Alexia Elkaim started with reworked denim and made cut the organising idea, which is why the structured corset tops and low- or high-rise trousers carry the label.
Flea-market Y2K, made new
The silhouettes come from Elkaim's vintage sourcing in Paris, London and LA, translated into current corsetry, denim, knitwear and swim rather than sold as secondhand.
Independent, with adidas reach
The label is still founder-owned, and released its first adidas Originals collaboration in November 2025: a motorsport-themed apparel and footwear range.
