If you didn’t see true Grit when it came out last year, it may be challenging to understand why the world is all of a sudden so taken with 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld, but count on me on this one: Go see the movie, because not only is it great, but she will blow you away. and if the Miu Miu fall 2011 ad campaign is any indication, she’ll be continuing to impress us all for the foreseeable future.
I like these ads for a variety of reasons: Unlike the similarly young designs that are often used in fashion, Hailee looks her age in these pictures and it seems as though the Miu Miu team took great care to guarantee that they didn’t tart her up too much. The clothes, shoes and accessories are fantastic. Bruce Weber shot the images, and you can’t really go wrong with him. The ads don’t feel too valuable or serious, which makes them all the much more enjoyable. Mostly, they just make me want to don some Miu Miu and go purchase the true Grit dvd, which is likely the effect that both Miu Miu and Steinfeld really hoped they would have. much more pictures after the jump.
