Twenty8Twelve, the two sisters’ fashion label is to debut at next February’s London Fashion Week, to be precise it is going to happen on Sunday 22nd February.

The label itself was started in 2006 when Sienna and Savannah Miller were offered to develop a designer diffusion level brand. The idea was proposed by fashion entrepreneur Carlos Ortega.

The name, Twenty8Twelve, was chosen as Sienna’s birthday is 28th December. The girls liked the idea of using the name combined of numbers rather than their names.

The fashion line has become very popular since then and we are looking forward to seeing celebrities trying to get tickets for the girls’ show!

NY Mag reports that British unique designer Vivienne Westwood is lining up Pamela Anderson for her next ad campaign. The ads will be shot in a trailer park.

It’s still not known whether it’s a fact or just a rumor has it, but we would really like to see Baywatch hottie Pam Anderson as a spokesperson for Vivienne Westwood’s new ad.

I can’t speak about it yet. But anything I would say would be completely positive” said Westwood.

We believe these women have something in common and Pamela has the right spirit to represent extravagant and always irrepressible and avant-garde Ms. Westwood.

The last time the star and the designer were seen sharing a laugh and a hug and posing for photographers at Westwood’s show at the London Fashion Week in late September.

Four fashion weeks in New York, London, Paris and Milan didn’t add up to a single must-have look for spring-summer ‘09.

That might be just good with consumers who, considering the economic situation of recent days, can be in no mood to start their shopping lists for the next season.

Designers couldn’t have predicted such a picture when they started creating these collections long before their previews in fashion capitals.

Still, there was a collective movement toward a looser shape compared to the buttoned-up style of fall.

The passing of Yves Saint Laurent in June, the time when many designers were putting together their spring collections, also seemed to have a strong influence, especially in safari and tribal touches.

Designers offer a more toned-down version of the collection to store buyers and those probably give a better sense of what’s to come.

Here’s what has to be considered:

FLESHY COLOURS

John Rocha LFW, Narciso Rodriguez NYFW and Blumarine MFW Spring 2009

light grey, white colours as well as flesh and sand tints are becoming popular. The models on the catwalk weren’t necessarily showing a lot of skin. They looked sexy despite that.

A steady parade of nude colours looked pretty ecxiting.

Mix of yellow and orange was interesting. And these flesh tones weren’t used to complement delicate, romantic pieces as much as strong, futuristic looks.

ASSYMETRIC STYLE

This time designers created outfits with one shoulder only. Most of the models were wearing evening gowns of this asymmetric style. But it was also presented with more casual, shorter silhouettes.

The new style creates a longer, leaner appearance; sometimes, though, the outfit just looks askew.

CORSETS

Tight corsets are fashionable again. Corsets were featured in old-school cocktail dresses and playful rompers. Bra tops were also adopted.

Dolce & Gabbana’s bra dresses will be very popular among customers who prefer something with a fitted shape to a flowing silhouette.

TROPICAL COLOURING

There was a clear tropical influence on the clothes for spring/summer 2009. Tangerine orange and pink, together with ocean blues, were presented in large amounts.

TREMENDOUSLY HIGH HEELS

Dior Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2009

Very high heels have become an alternative to a flat summertime-sandal and the ballet slipper.

The shoes on the runway had towering heels, tough-girl styling and sometimes seemingly unstable architecture. The models seemed to experience some difficulty in making it down the runway.

The high heels are perfect to look at but working in them might be hard.

Vivienne Westwood presented her Red label collection. She opened her show at London Fashion Week with a man model wearing “Guantanamo Orange” underpants and a girl carrying a poster protesting for the rights of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

Popular models were the daughter of actor Ray Winstone, Jaime, in a plaid micro-mini and the socialite Alice Dellal, in hot pants with her hair half-shaved in a punk tribute to Vivienne.

The line covered looks from Miss Marple to Miss Moneypenny, and models with teased “Penelope Tree” hair and platform footwear.

Vivienne took her bend in a pencil skirt, platforms and a blouse covered with remonstrance badges.

It feels like being at home,” she said.

There were a number of hooded tops and dresses with Middle Eastern character blended with tea dresses in draped and knotted materials that evoked nostalgia for the days of the old British Empire.

Colours were silented and often pale, set off at times by hoarse gold metallic jewelry and other brightly colored accessories.

Some of the runway models sported an bisexual view in tailored shorts and tight T-shirts. Others models wore toned down versions of the cone-shaped bras popularised by Madonna some years ago.

There were nice made pant suits and some dresses in silk satins, printed viscose and washed cottons.

Footwear were usually big and clumsy, with an emphasis on gold platform heels.

Designer Vivienne Westwood show was a London Fashion Week hot ticket for evident reasons. With a first row that boasted Pamela Anderson, Dita Von Teese, Emma Watson, Pixie Geldof and Kate Moss and runway turns from Alexa Chung and Daisy Lowe, this was certainly the show to be seen at. The outfits themselves were a mix of definitely wearable and glamour and madcap Westwood.

Nicole Farhi’s spring/summer 2009 show was scheduled to take place at 10.30am on Tuesday, September 16 and it was great!

Nicole Farhi was inspired by French Impressionist Claude Monet for her new Spring/Summer 2009 collection launched at London Fashion Week.

A lot of items, including belts, dresses, shorts, skirts and bras was drown from Monet, the French artist who died in 1926.

The clothes had bright and light color feel. A number of striped outfits and variety on the usual striped Navy sweaters were presented on the catwalk.

Designer Nicole Farhi was one of the first British designers to persist on the vogue of linear florals we saw arise at New York Fashion Week. She does it just great.

The outfits’ hemlines were longer and below the knee. Shapes resembled  the earlier decades of the Twenties Century. Some tweaking of the silhouette and prints contained things present-day and chic.

Many of the footwear also had unique flower motifs  giving dresses the view of a pastoral watercolour painting.

There was a monotonous look to the show, with most of the models wearing their hair pulled back, light make up and lipstick. And one model accessoried her look with a large “Obama for President” button.

There was an exact British seaside look going, no American maritime style prevailing.

London Fashion Week opened its catwalks yesterday with a mythical line of boiler suits and 80’s modern rocker jackets, awesome bows, and vibrant colour lines.

First day was Topshop Unique. The character proved a violent contrast to the flaming sun outside - all wistful harden and bare light bulbs. The catwalk was virtually indiscernible from the backstage.

Artist Lesley Keane roused journalists’ interest with talk of the return of the smoky eye and sultry dark lips.

And once Peaches Geldof and Alexa Chung were sitting front line, the boutique raw from the high street stalwart didn’t disappoint.

Louche boiler suits got a frisky update in a multi-coloured heart print, while snow wash denim lent an Eighties edge.

50’s Americana, from the fun fairground theme, to boyfriend-sized baseball jackets and the coquettish housewife hairdos with plus size bows also had its place.

Fresh new trend was Ossie Clark at the LFW base at the Natural History Museum.

Though Ossie Clark added embellishment, grass green and the odd graphic print, there were plenty of obvious similarities between the two. Block colours, lots of orange and blue, draped frocks in fluid fabrics, lots of maxi length styles.

Oriental prints replaced Celia Birtwell’s contribution. It’s pretty, but not universally acclaimed.
Kimono-style sleeves completed the look.

As Ossie Clark show was wrapping up, queues were already forming outside for the PPQ show.

The Girls Aloud member was a great ads for the brand, sporting a glam PPQ red and black polka dot prom dress.

The show itself featured some extraordinary millinery with box hats, fascinators in that sexy mix of pale pink and black.

More pretty prom outfits are sure to be seen on immeasurable celebrity debutantes in the coming months, as will super-short tailored shorts and shoulder-padded cropped jackets.
