COGGLES LAUNCHES SIENNA MILLER'S TWENTY8TWELVE


I agree that most celebrity collections are just a mixture of vanity and bad marketing ideas but in this case the subtle design and sheer quality really do shine through when you wear the garments. I was expecting a typical jeans and t-shirt collection but the sisters have really created an exceptional debut fashion collection.

Sienna Miller was born in New York City in 1981. She moved to England as a child. Prior to her professional acting career, Sienna worked as a photographic model. Following her appearance at the Glastonbury Festival in 2004, she was credited by many with having popularised the fashion style of boho-chic in Britain. Sienna also posed for Vanity Fair magazine's 2006 Hollywood Issue topless and smoking a cigarette.

Sienna appeared in supporting roles in the 2004 remake of the 1966 movie Alfie as well as in Layer Cake (2004). She played the female lead opposite Heath Ledger in the period drama, Casanova (2005). She also stared in Factory Girl (2006), a film about 1960s socialite and Andy Warhol's muse Edie Sedgwick. Although the film has been deemed controversial, her performance has received acclaim. Sienna’s relationship with Jude Law has been frequently featured in the entertainment press so I’ll not dwell on it here.

Twenty8Twelve, gets its name from Sienna Miller's date of birth. Sienna has designed the label's first range along with her sister Savannah Miller who is a Central St. Martins graduated fashion designer. The new label is skinny jeans, bib front t-shirts and mini tux jackets. References from 70's New York and Dickensian suits are brought to life by Sienna's instinctive sense of style and Savannah's Central St Martin's reputation. Twenty8Twelve isn't just fashion it is beautifully made clothes.

The Twenty8Twelve collection is now available from coggles.com
