Miu Miu Brings "Tales & Tellers" to New York with Fashion and Film

Miu Miu’s multidisciplinary project Tales & Tellers arrives in New York this weekend, transforming Manhattan’s Terminal Warehouse into a surreal, immersive space that blurs the boundaries between art, fashion, and performance. Originally conceived by artist Goshka Macuga and curated by Elvira Dyangani Ose, the director of MACBA, the installation builds upon Miuccia Prada’s long-standing commitment to spotlighting female creatives through the brand’s Women’s Tales film series and artistic runway presentations.

First unveiled in Paris in October 2024, the installation draws from Miu Miu’s creative archive—namely, seven of its runway show interventions and all 29 short films from the Women’s Tales series dating back to 2011. Each character from those works has been reimagined in live performance by actors, accompanied by video projections of the original pieces. The result is a layered and evolving narrative that reframes ideas of femininity through movement, voice, and space.

While the Paris debut evoked a classical public square, the New York staging leans into the energy of the city’s streets after dark. Set against a moody backdrop, the Terminal Warehouse installation invites visitors to question their understanding of public space, intimacy, and identity.

Open to the public on May 10 and 11, Tales & Tellers is a tribute to Miu Miu’s creative history and its commitment to highlighting women's stories.
