"Really elegant and classy - the perfect winter wardrobe," says Sienna Miller about the autumn/winter 2011-12 collection from Twenty8Twelve. Watch Sienna and her sister Savannah as they pick out their favourite pieces from the new range, and talk through the challenges of staying true to their design aesthetic.
Denim was acid-washed and skinny and chunky heart pendants by Pamela Love finished off almost every look giving the ever-present Sienna rock-chick vibe. Eclecticism was certainly the theme as velvet scarves, tied as turbans, and cosy wool cardigans that effused countryside chic sat side-by-side to create wearable looks that will appeal to many.
It’s clear that the Miller sisters are extremely aware that their brand is a commercial one, and as Savannah herself pointed out, with the likes of Christopher Kane around, they would be hard pushed to compete with high fashion names. But this a quality they strive to highlight. They create clothes that they would wear and, to be honest, who wouldn’t want a piece of the Sienna and Savannah magic?
For those of you who don’t know, Sienna Miller and her fashion designer sister, Savannah are behind label Twenty8Twelve. I have some issues with this label, first, you don’t name any kind of company after four numbers and then mix up the spelling with letters and numbers. Secondly, the new Fall 2010 line looks like something I can see on any street corner in the Mission, worn by a lady who paid a fraction of the price for a similar outfit. I understand that Sienna says she doesn’t claim to be a designer and feels she’s been misinterpreted, but when you own a clothing line with someone who has had formal training in fashion design, like her sister…I’m sorry, like it or not, you are a designer.
Back to the Fall 2010 collection, it’s not high-end, and the clothes, while doubtless fun for a certain kind of British girl to wear, don’t display the kind of skill that have won critical acclaim. In this collection, there were some neat pieces, such as the trippy colored giant cardigan, lovely black tops and dresses with fringed shoulders, and a red minidress.
From a very early age their paths were set. They didn’t know it at the time but when Savannah made Sienna's first fancy dress costume at the age of eight, the wheels were set in motion for a perfect partnership. Their respective obsessions were acted out from day 1 with Savannah knitting on pencils while Sienna wrote plays at every spare opportunity. Ultimately determination won and Sienna ended up at Lee Strasbourg film institute and Savannah at St Martins.
On completing their respective training they moved in together and the seed of twenty8twelve was planted. It was only natural that Savannah would fit her work on Sienna and Sienna would give comments and they found that their different approaches and ideas complemented each other. When they were approached by Spanish entrpeneur, Carlos Ortega to turn this dream in to reality it felt like a logical and organic step to take and twenty8twelve was born. The rest is history.
