No, in actuality! The Italian fashion brand will hold two consecutive "Summer Reads" events at a few newsstands worldwide on June 7 and 8. (And the cherished West Village store Casa Magazines in New York City is taking part!)
Visitors will receive two of the three texts below, which were chosen for the writers' "brave and powerfully influential status as female creator[s]": Persuasion by Jane Austen, A Woman by Sibilla Aleramo, and Forbidden Notebook by Alba de Céspedes. The events are billed as an initiative that embodies Miu Miu's "commitment to contemporary thought and culture." The activities start at 11:00 a.m. and last at 7:00 p.m., almost all day long. /BGNES
