Sienna Miller Proves Why You Should Love the Fit-and-Flare Dress

Sienna Miller knows how to start (and own) a trend — boho chic, anyone?

Sienna Miller knows how to start (and own) a trend — boho chic, anyone? — but her latest turn toward a more feminine fit-and-flare silhouette is something she has actually loved for years. While Miller's long-sleeved, light blue Matthew Williamson box-pleat dress may be the most recent example of her penchant for the girlier style, she has also stepped out in Topshop, Valentino, and Twenty8Twelve iterations. And it's not hard to see why she loves a fit-and-flare dress — and why, if you haven't converted yet, it's a really flattering choice for most body types. By cinching the smallest part of your waist and letting the skirt flare out over the hips, it creates an illusion of a bombshell-like figure. And for those of you who aren't after a totally body-con fit, this route touches on something halfway to formfitting. All the proof you need, according to Sienna Miller, is right here.

Savannah Miller Working on New Line

>> Sienna Miller says her sister Savannah is hard at work on a new clothing label, which is her first foray into the fashion business since both siblings left Twenty8Twelve late last January.

"My sister is an amazing designer — she's working on her new label at the moment," Sienna told Vogue UK. "In fact she's designing in my attic as we speak. I just can't wait to wear all of the pieces."

While Sienna didn't say what any of those pieces would look like, Savannah's established aesthetic speaks to a very British sensibility — influenced no doubt by working for other British design talents like Alexander McQueen, Anya Hindmarch, and Matthew Williamson.

The Millers started Twenty8Twelve as co-creative directors in 2007. They left the brand in early January 2012, shortly before they were scheduled to present their Fall 2012 line during London Fashion Week. Sienna, who is currently pregnant, told WWD that she and her sister were "looking forward to new pastures. We wish the brand the best of luck for the future."

Twenty8Twelve has continued as a brand without the sisters' involvement, changing its full name from Twenty8Twelve by s. miller to Twenty8Twelve London.

Twenty8Twelve Fall 2012

Even though sisters Savannah and Sienna Miller left the brand earlier this year, the ultra-cool Twenty8Twelve girl that they created is still very much present in the Fall '12 collection.

Even though sisters Savannah and Sienna Miller left the brand earlier this year, the ultra-cool Twenty8Twelve girl that they created is still very much present in the Fall '12 collection. Designers Vanessa James and Elsa Elphick offered a '60s mod grouping for the season, featuring Beatnik-style babydoll frocks with tights, slim-fitting trousers and flawlessly-cut coats — all perfect pieces for the seemingly effortless girl-about-town. They also played with prints — we saw the Prince of Wales check on tailored trousers, a silk blouse and skirt were cut in bold florals, and a psychedelic pattern popped up on a pair of slouchy shorts. Overall, Twenty8Twelve still has the same pretty, cool-girl appeal, and we're really feeling this Fall collection.

  • Trends: Menswear-inspired trousers, tailored peacoats, short babydoll dresses, leather touches.
  • Colors: Black, gray, camel, petal pink, navy.
  • Key Piece: The Pepto Bismol-pink peplum dress caught our eye immediately.
  • Accessories: Sculptural colorblock heels, black leather gloves, printed head wraps.
  • Who Would Wear It: Retro-chic types like Kirsten Dunst and Zooey Deschanel.

For Fall 2012, the collection's main references — Truman Capote and London in the 1960s — look fresh in a vivid palette of grenadine, violet, and kelly green. Shapes are youthful and easy-wearing, with leather jackets, draped wool skirts, printed pajama pants, and knit dresses all offering plenty of appeal.
