Fab Flash: Sienna and Savannah Miller Expand Twenty8Twelve

FabSugar — Mon, 05 May 2008 11:00:22 -0700

It's been a while since Sienna and Savannah Miller's Twenty8Twelve debut. Their collection of subtly tough, slightly sweet menswear-inspired clothes have proven to be a success, so much that the sisters have decided to expand into accessories. This Fall, the label will deliver a 12-piece collection of leather totes, wallets, and clutches. From soft palma leather to glossy leathers embossed with crocodile and elephant textures, the surfaces sound as interesting as the sisters. And the colors? As you can see they too are experimental. The offerings include black and brown crocodile-looking leathers; patent leathers in Oxblood, a burnished red and flag, a rich blue. And of course there's a super-shiny black patent for those fans of the British fashion dark side.

What does the lovely Sienna have to say about the expansion? "I love bags - who doesn't?" And as well as bags, we'll see wide leather belts, leather gloves, and silk scarves by Twenty8Twelve.

On Our Radar: First Pic of Sienna Miller's Clothing Line!

FabSugar — Thu, 10 May 2007 14:24:22 -0700

It was reported late last year that Sienna Miller and her sis Savannah were going into the business of designing clothes. Well, Portfolio has released the first ad photo and details of Twenty8Twelve (Sienna's birthday) and though you can't see much from the black-and-white photo, the collection seems promising, as it's not going to be attached to any particular chain store. If the collection will mimic Sienna's boho-chic style, I'll be happy!

Fab Flash: Sienna & Savannah Miller's Twenty8Twelve Launch!

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 11:06:42 -0700

Last night, Sienna and her sister Savannah launched the debut Spring 2008 collection of their line Twenty8Twelve. The inspiration for the new collection? "Patti Smith, Keith Richards, free-thinking, radical people who aren't influenced by others," Sienna told Instyle.

Guests like Anne Hathaway, Lily Donaldson, Agyness Deyn, and Rachel Zoe mingled with the Miller sisters atop the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City. Wish I could have been there...

Twenty8Twelve Skinny Jeans with Side Zip: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 06:00:22 -0700

You all know I've been diligently following sister team Sienna and Savannah Miller and their clothing line Twenty8Twelve. Their clothes are designed for the fashion forward and pulling it off can be kind of tricky. Take for instance, the Twenty8Twelve By S Miller Stretch Skinny Jean With Triple Side Zip Trim ($400). I kind of like the toughness of these jeans and all its zippered glory. Do you think these jeans are hot or should they be left in the cold?

Fab's Fashion Night Out!

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:13:36 -0700

While Pop was chatting it up with Gwen Stefani, I was doing what Fashion's Night Out was supposed to do - shopping! And gallivanting and celeb-spotting. You ready for my FNO adventure? My fellow fashion junkie friend and I started at Bergdorf Goodman where many fashion festivities were going on. Along the way I saw Rachel Bilson and Hayden waiting for their car in front of their hotel - I said hi to her but don't think she remembered me from when I interviewed her at Brian Reyes's show last Fashion Week. Moving on, as expected, there was a line to get into the department store, and it was a madhouse inside. I spotted jewelry designer Philip Crangi on the way in; it's hard to miss him, he looks like a pirate. We went straight to the shoe department where we fawned over Balmain boots, Giuseppe Zanotti lovers, awesome Alaia's, and Chanel flats. We quickly decided to leave the Bergdorf madness, but stopped at the M.C.L jewelry counter and said hi to model cutie Karlie Kloss on the way out.

To hear about my epic fashion night out and to see lots more FNO pics,

We dashed down to Soho - my main goal of the night was the Intermix party where Sienna and Savannah Miller were hosting. The streets were alive with fashion! I had to pop into J.Crew (conveniently located across the street from Intermix) where I bought a super-cute long gold jeweled mushroom pendant.

Intermix was the place to be, with an ultra-fashion-y crowd and cool '80s tunes. Someone asked us if it was true Rihanna was supposed to come and before I knew it flashes were frenzied and there she was. We were actually in line for the bathroom when this happened and her and her posse came right towards us hence my super-close picture of her. She was incognito chic in a black wraparound-hooded dress and insane Grace Jones-esque shades and crimson lips. She posed for pics with a subtle smile on her face, the crowd was mesmerized. What a cool surprise! But where's Sienna?

There she is, sis in tow. But Sienna's hosting wasn't nearly as impressive as Rihanna's - the Millers sisters were outtie, they didn't even stay for champagne. Wha? We had a dinner date at Indochine at 11p.m., but along the way my friend bought a pair of fly boots from Steven Steve Madden and I scored a glam rockin' purple sequin blazer from Topshop. They aren't online, so I can't show you, but they're dope and we did our economy-stimulating part of the evening. Done and done.

Cruising into Indochine was unreal. Iman was in the first booth, post-bartending at Barneys Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were in the next, and models Lily Donaldson and Daria (Daria!) Werbowy were smoking cigarettes another booth away. Can you say awesome? We met up with fellow bloggers Faran from Nylon and Britt from Fashionista and gobbled up wonderful exotic fare. At one point I was in the bathroom with Iman and totally froze - her beauty is unreal. I headed home and had sweet dreams of fashion - goodnight Fashion's Night Out!

Fab Site: ASOS.com

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 04:00:22 -0700

I bet many of you have stumbled upon ASOS, one of the UK's most popular online stores and authority on celeb fashion. The site, formerly known as AsSeenOnScreen, was launched in 2000, and has since been providing stylish gals with desirable fashion. In fact, ASOS was the one who gave us our most recent Look For Less: Chanel Bow Mini Dress. The site is also going to carry Sienna and Savannah Miller's clothing line, Twenty8Twelve (but if you can't wait, you can find some items online at Matches Fashion)!

A couple more fabworthy things: their ASOS brand directory and their fun blog!
