we have an update from wwd here. the prices dont seem too bad.
A tailored tuxedo jacket that Sienna Miller plans to wear as a dress, Edie Sedgwick low-rise skinny jeans and silk smock dresses are among the boy-meets-girl pieces that make up Sienna and Savannah Miller's debut ready-to-wear collection, Twenty8Twelve by s.milller, which launched to buyers at the 1927 showroom in London this month.
"[The collection] was inspired by Dickensian London and the Bill Sykes-in-a-back-alley mood [the era] had about it," said Savannah Miller, who took vintage pieces such as a child's Victorian corset as a starting point. "[The line] pays huge attention to detail, but looks modern and strong."
Those details include hook-and-eye fastenings on heavy, oversized wool cardigans, visible stitching on the inside of high-waisted, wool silk trousers and ruching on printed silk smock dresses and tops. "We used quite a range of fabrics….My favorite is a giant canvas we used for our winter coat," added Savannah, a Central Saint Martins grad who has freelance stints at Alexander McQueen, Matthew Williamson and Betty Jackson under her belt.
The 82–piece collection, which will retail from about $75 for a silk jersey tank through to $650 for a leather bomber jacket, includes silk wool jackets and trousers, heavy silk cotton Empire-line minidresses with full skirts, jeans, and silk and jersey tops and dresses. The sisters have worked in a palette of black, gray, cream and nude, with flashes of deep red. Stockists have not yet been confirmed. "[The collection] has aspects of day and evening throughout — we have some fantastic jackets which can be worn with tailored trousers…or with a great pair of jeans for a more daytime look," said Savannah.
Each season, the sisters will commission a different artist to design a print; for fall, David Cooper has produced a delicate navy and floral print on silk habotai tops and dresses.
"The collection doesn't really have an age limit, it's about attitude," Savannah said. "[The customer] is a woman who loves attention to detail and dresses for herself."
the dress is waaaay to busy, and i especially hate it with the sandals. she wears them all the time lately, and they ruin even the more classier outfits. look:
I DO looooove Sienna but that is just tacky lol she had to have known and knowing she was going to be doing this event she should have paid more attention lol
