London Fashion Week will soon be wrapping up, but don’t worry! There are plenty more collections to drool over. We’ve got glorious print overload at Louise Gray, Twenty8Twelve‘s “Faceless Featured Future,” and orthopedic glamour (never thought you’d see those words together in a sentence!) at Acne. As always, check out our London Fashion Week page Read more →
LONDON–Twenty8Twelve’s head designer, Elsa Elphick, is probably absolutely sick of people asking her about Savannah and Sienna Miller leaving the brand. They held a presentation over the weekend to showcase the new collection and a fashion film called “Faceless Featured Future.” Faceless future, indeed–at least a famous faceless future. So let’s get that part out of the way first.
I asked Elphick what has changed since the Miller sisters left, and she told me, “For us it hasn’t massively changed.” Hmm. So how much involvement did they actually have? Elphick assured me that she worked very closely with Savannah, but that now she would be making design decisions rather than have them made for her. When I asked if the Millers leaving would hurt the image of the brand, a member of Twenty8Twelve’s team jumped in.
Sex and the City Perfume Exists: And it is the fragrance most confiscated by customs officers. Of 138 commercial perfume shipments the Customs and Border Protection’s Intellectual Property Rights “National Targeting and Analysis Group” monitored in Los Angeles, 52 were busted for the phony SATC scent. Who knew? {WWD subscription required}
Andrej Pejic Was on a Roof in New York: The gorgeous model was spotted shooting with photographer Sebastien Micke for an unknown project. One of the outfits is a very skimpy bandage-style bathing suit. So stunning that it makes us want to stop complaining about having small boobs. {Telegraph UK}
Liv Tyler to Sing INXS Song for Givenchy: The actress will do a sultry rendition of ’80s rock band INXS’s “Need You Tonight,” for the launch of the Very Irrésistible Givenchy Electric Rose fragrance. {WWD subscription required}
Twenty8Twelve, which launched six years ago, was one of the early celebrity clothing line success stories. Actress Sienna Miller launched the line with her professional clothing designer sister Savannah and the two have put out several solid collections of cute, wearable clothes. We were fans, which is why we were bummed and surprised to hear this morning that the Miller sisters are parting with the line.
The news is surprising considering the brand is still doing well. According to WWD, the Millers will “pursue other ventures” (a new BeachMint brand perhaps?) while the brand will continue on under the current design team as Twenty8Twelve London. Huh?
Theyskens’ Theory Takes Marc by Marc’s Old Spot: Irene really did a number on the NYFW schedule. Following Marc Jacobs’ announcement that his show would move from Monday to Thursday due to time lost, it has just been announced that Theyskens’ Theory won’t be showing Monday either. Instead, Olivier is sliding into the Tuesday 4pm slot, which Marc by Marc had until they moved that up to the former Marc Jacobs Collection slot on Monday. It’s like musical chairs! {WWD}
Taylor Lautner Covers V Man: Twilight dreamboat Taylor Lautner is V Man‘s Issue 23 cover star. He looks super intense in this Steven Klein-lensed close-up. {VMan}
Sienna Miller for Twenty8Twelve: Sienna Miller and another model star in Twenty8Twelve’s new look book. The clothes are cute and have major pajama vibes. {NYLON}
LONDON–The second day of #lfw is shaping up to be an impressive one, and we’re only half-way through. This morning, I first traipsed off to Twenty8Twelve by S. Miller, so let’s start there.
