Pernille Teisbaek in Miu Miu. Her black brushed leather loafers are available at
MIUMIU.COM
* In the ’50s, loafers were part of school uniforms worn by U.S. prep school and college students. Annoyed by having to wear a uniform, students started inserting a shiny penny in the slot of the leather band, giving rise to the name «Penny Loafers». Miu Miu gives this timeless footwear synonymous with tradition an update in a brushed leather version.
