A Designer Profile: Twenty8twelve

Sienna Miller and her sister Savannah launched this line in September 2007 with the financial backing by Pepe Jeans.  The brand gets its name from Sienna's birthdate.  Twenty8twelve is a collection described by the duo as being androgynous with a London vige.  While Savannah attended design school in London and worked alongside Alexander McQueen and Matthew Williamson, Sienna plays the part of the muse who adds her own touch of punk-rock to the collection.  The sisters showed their eclectic bohemian collection in a presentation form at the London Fashion week this week.

This one shoulder mini dress by twenty8twelve can be found at Saks Fifth Avenue for $298.9 (on sale from $499).

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NY..

I wish I was in NY this week.  The semi-annual Fashion Week in NYC started this Thursday, it will go through the 18th. 

Interesting facts about the Fashion Week in NY:
It is one of four major fashion events in NYC.  First one was held in 1943. When it first started, it was called Press Week instead of Fashion Week.
The fashion industry insiders were not able to travel to Paris to see the big fashion shows during the World War II.  Fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert organized this first event and named it "Press Week" to showcase American designers to the industry insiders.  This helped the American designers to gain more popularity and publicity.
Admission is by invitation only.  The event is organized by IMG.  IMG is the a sports, entertainment and media company.
If you want to take a peek at their exciting schedule, take a look at http://www.mbfashionweek.com/newyork/fall2010/schedule/index.html
I would have loved to see the Zac Pozen show on the 15th which coincides with my birthday;)

You can find many of these designer's clothing sold at Saks Fifth Avenue online.  It is one of the few big retail stores that carry a variety of designer names.  For example this cute dress in the pic by Ella Moss is on sale for $96.99.  It is a simple dress but the colors are so eye-catching.

Jeans..Jeans..Jeans

Jeans are my favorite piece of clothing. I recently purchased two pairs of jeans. A pair of skinny jeans and a pair of boot cut jeans.

I picked out couple of really great jeans for you...

The first one is a pair of skinny jeans (with a distressed look) by Current/Elliott. They are $238 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

The secod one is a pair of flare jeans by AG Adriana Goldschmied.  They can be found at Saks Fifth Avenue for $218. To my surprise, flare jeans are in style again.





The third one is a pair of boyfriend jeans by 7.  They are sold for $198 at Saks Fifth Avenue.  They are super cute.

Shopping Spree..

I went on a shopping spree yesterday...I haven't shopped for a long time. I felt like I needed to trendy up my wardrobe a little bit. my look.   I checked out few places: Anthropology, BCBG, Club Monaco, and Macy's. I ended up getting two long tops (almost like dresses) that I'm going to pair with some leggings, one hobo bag, and a plaid flirty dress with ruffled shoulders(dress pictured above) for all under $200 from Macy's. And on top of it, they are all BCBG. I got the purple top with a twisted back I had posted on my blog few weeks ago. I think it was my lucky day:)
I would recommend you guys to check it out.
