It's hard not to love the 40s, a decade of indulgent fashion and effortless elegance, and the Miu Miu Fall 2011 sunglasses collection is a direct homage to that very sophistication that is so beloved in the fashion industry.
Oversized sunglasses are always a must at the house of Miu Miu, led by creative director Miuccia Prada, who also designs for Prada, naturally. Film noir and Old Hollywood style are heavily influential at the house of Miu Miu, and the Miu Miu Fall 2011 sunglasses collection is certainly no exception.
Young up-and-comer Hailee Steinfeld can be seen wearing some of the styles in the Miu Miu Fall 2011 campaign, which was shot by Bruce Weber. The Miu Miu Fall 2011 sunglasses collection features large cat-eye sunnies and lots of retro, attention-grabbing colors and prints, like tortoiseshell and metallic glitter.
