To be released on Thursday, images of Hadid carrying the brand's hot matelassé bag styles nod to classic high society portraiture of the 20th century not just in the model's poised poses but also in their painterly finishing.
Photographed by Steven Meisel , each image has been digitally tweaked to echo brushstrokes, playing with a sense of ambiguity between the mediums of painting and photography, present and past.
The effect fits with the velvety texture and softness of the new suede iterations of Miu Miu's matelassé bags , where panels are doubled with wadding and elastic cloth, and then quilted.
First launched during the fall 2006 show, the matelassé has been revisited in terms of size and design during the years and is by now so central to the brand's handwriting that it barely needs a logo to be recognized.
Realized under the creative direction of Edward Quarmby and with the styling of Lotta Volkova , the arty ads are in line with the approach the brand has embraced in the two previous campaigns dedicated to the category and that also featured Hadid, which were inspired by artists' oeuvres.
Hadid has been affiliated with Miu Miu for a long time . Earlier this month, she was among those walking the brand's buzzy fall 2025 show in Paris, joined in the rich casting by the likes of Sarah Paulson, Laura Harrier, Lou Doillon, Oscar Lesage, Suzanne Lindon, Eliot Sumner, Raffey Cassidy and Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, among others.
