More known for wearing cool clothes than her acting, Sienna Miller says she’s branching out into fashion design by launching a clothing range.
The 80-piece line, called Twenty8Twelve - after her date of birth, will be a joint venture between Sienna and her sister Savannah.
The actress says inspiration for their designs came from a wide range of sources, including Beat poetry, Patti Smith and, more strangely, Charles Dickens.
“I’ve always loved fashion, and Savannah got a First [Class degree] in design at St Martins [College, London]. We hadn’t thought to pursue it together, but this just happened organically,” Sienna says.
Adding: “Setting up a label with your sister is a lot of fun - there haven’t been any fights yet.”
But she admits things haven’t gone totally smoothly so far: “Some trousers that were my idea came back as a prototype and were absolutely disgusting. Everyone was worried I’d want them, but I just said, ‘Scrap them.’”
