Miu Miu x Alo

The Ballet Collection is a conceptual collaboration between Miu Miu and Alo, designed to support the needs of ballet dancers through performance and routine. The collection includes a backpack, jacket, and leotard, each piece balancing functionality with refined aesthetics. Focused on convenience, movement, and versatility, the designs aim to streamline the transition between practice and everyday life while maintaining a strong sense of identity and style.

Process:

The process involved studying ballet dancers’ routines to identify opportunities for improving organization, layering, and transitions. These insights informed a system-based approach, designing the backpack, jacket, and leotard to work together. Through iterative development, I refined each piece to support movement, comfort, and ease of use.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Designed soft goods for movement, balancing performance and aesthetic
  • Applied system thinking across a coordinated collection
  • Translated user routines into functional design solutions
