This weekend, the Miu Miu Summers Reads are back for a second edition at one of the most beautiful libraries in the capital. On the agenda is the perfect reading lineup, plus the chance to leave with a free book customized by the fashion house!

This summer, the Miu Miu house celebrates the power of reading with a special event at the heart of the National Library of France – Richelieu site: the Miu Miu Summer Reads. It's a wonderful chance to rediscover the two highlighted novels of the year in a historically rich setting. Don't miss out on finding your new summer read—join us on June 27 and 28, that's Friday and Saturday, right in the heart of Paris.


An International Event

Reading is truly amazing. There's hardly anything as satisfying as the feeling of losing yourself in a novel, forgetting the passage of time and the hustle and bustle around you. However, it’s not always easy to find that time, a moment of calm, or simply a book that inspires us. So, to help you reconnect with ....this amazing hobby, Miu Miu invites you to a special moment, blending fashion, art, and contemporary reflection.

For the second consecutive year, the Summer Reads are making their way at the end of June to all corners of the world. Or rather the five corners, as the house sets up in Hong Kong, in Milan, in Osaka, in Paris and in Beijing. In each of these cities, shared reflection spaces are being created, thanks to a 100% free access pop-up that this year celebrates two visionary authors of the 20th century, Simone de Beauvoir and Fumiko Enchi.


All About Reading

This year, the Miu Miu pop-up is set in the heart of one of the most beautiful places in Paris, the BnF Richelieu. The program includes a customization of the 2 featured books this year, with covers that have been specifically redesigned for the occasion. Visitors will be graciously given a copy of one of the two, complete with a jacket, bookmark, metal reading clip and personalized stamp.

The hardest part will undoubtedly be choosing between the two proposed works. On one hand, there's The Inseparables by Simone de Beauvoir. On the other hand, we have The Waiting Years by Fumiko Enchi. Two novels that are strongly feminist, committed, and poetic, each offering their own take on society, love, and the dynamics of power and submission. So, are you ready to dive in?
