It seems Sienna Miller and her equally stylish sister, Savannah, can’t put a fashionable foot wrong, and their label Twenty8Twelve is no exception.
Picture this –
A beautiful, feminine woman. In men’s clothes. At a peace rally. During the Vietnam War.
Twenty8Twelve, the fashion label brought to you by Sienna and Savannah Miller, embraces the juxtaposition of these contrasting elements, offering fashion that is textural, ambivalent and strikingly imaginative.
The beauty of the latest collection from Twenty8Twelve lies in its inconsistency.
The collection is called ‘Swimming Horses’, but the concept behind the collection has nothing to do with swimming or horses.
In fact, the collection is divided into three concepts – none of which are even remotely related.
Through a panorama of colour and texture, you are initially taken to the Scottish Highlands. Tartan, acid-washed knitwear and utilitarian detailing bring the vibrancy of this vision to life.
Then you are promptly swept away to a ‘70s rock concert with a distinguished ‘90s edge. Glamorous and dishevelled proportions are played with. Fringed shoulders, abstract prints and lurex sparkle perfectly capture the glam-rock inspiration.
And finally, just when you think there is nowhere left to take this collection, you are mingling with the Soho Club kids of the ‘80s. Mixing colourful sportswear with tribal prints, this part of the collection is strong, sexy, youthful and refreshingly experimental.
Twenty8Twelve provides the perfect avenue for Sienna and Savannah Miller to share their individuality and distinct style with the rest of the world.
And, it is this distinct style that has earned the Miller sisters and Twenty8Twelve somewhat of a cult following since its beginnings in 2009.
Oh, and of course the fact that pretty much everyone wants to be Sienna Miller. Even if only for the fact that she gets to pucker up with Jude Law.
