Hi sports fans.  So, who'd have thought that fashion's first lady could find the time to go to the gym in between her busy schedule of designing four Ready-to-Wear collections a year and a Cruise range each for her sister labels?  Surely that's the only explanation for Miuccia Prada's heavily sport influenced Autumn Winter collection for Miu Miu.  One piece cycle-inspired outfits showed intricate laser cut peep holes to reveal a second skin of orange or green Lycra underneath; it's undeniable, cycling shorts and streamlined head gear have never looked so fashionable.

The accessories line didn't miss out on the sporty make-over either.  This bowling bag features the cut out design that is evident in the clothing and is the easiest way to buy into Miuccia's vision, and far more flattering than those cycling shorts.
