These New Puritans are not only a hotly tipped band for 2008 but a look that is circulating the catwalk in a radical way. Puritanism in the 16th and 17th Century was an escapism from the church in search of purity. Simple dress and muted colours accentuated this. Interpreted for a modern look, Miu Miu amongst others have used the typical collars and cuffs but 'sexed' them up with a short hem line or luxurious fabrics. A juxtaposition to the true meaning of Puritan.
