Miku's inspiration came from anime cliques in general. I mean if you look at the standard anime shoujo and at the main character in their school uniform specifically you can begin to pick up parts of Miku's design that came from various elements of it. You are, to be frank, "taking the piss" if you consider Miku to have an original design as the only thing remotely original is the fact she has robotic elements to her "shoujo school girl" design, not to mention her teal colour.
