‘Madonna slid into my DMs:’ How Miista became the hottest fashion brand in London

These days, it’s not just shoes Villasenin is working on. As Miista grew, she found herself feeling “a little bored” by the restrictions of only working with footwear. As she puts it, “by dressing the Miista woman as a whole, we would be able to tell a much stronger story and learn a lot more” – the brand branched out into ready-to-wear fashion in 2021. Think ruched silk tops, skirts held together with safety pins and belts that also double as bras, mostly in shades of cool-girl black.
