Sienna Miller is well known for her sense of style, so her launch of a fashion label with her sister Savannah might not come as a surprise. But this is a celebrity line with a difference - one half of the duo is a professional designer.

Bing Bang Accessories
The Bing Bang line has grown from women’s pieces to include bags, belts and men’s accessories. The pieces are at once raw and polished, voluminous yet weightless. "I like things a little bit rugged, yet a little bit refined," says Anna. "It's just my personal aesthetic." Each design is crafted by hand and draws heavily on Anna's background in sculpture and blacksmithing.
Working exclusively in unadorned metals, both precious and semiprecious, her upbringing in the sparse deserts of New Mexico is evident in the simplified, imperfect shapes and delicate yet durable pieces. The line is a favorite of editors at Teen Vogue, as well as Kirsten Dunst and Marc Jacobs.

Alice & Olivia
Alice + Olivia was born from designer Stacey Bendet's love of pants and her quest to find the perfect pair; flattering, form-fitting and long enough to wear with the highest heels. After a successful launch in 2002, which had everyone in her native New York lining up for a pair of "Stacey's perfect pants", her collection has grown to include retro-inspired tunic dresses, tops and jackets.
PRPS Jeans
PRPS jeans are known for the details from the worlds of authentic military uniform, work wear and hunting apparel. Their pursuit is authenticity in the perfect pair of jeans from taking note of a painter's stains to wrinkles on a mechanics knee. Every stain, nick and prick or abrasion is painstakingly produced by hand to replicate real wear and age; "the conceptualization and outcome of PRPS encompasses the blueprint of who I am, where I came from, where I’ve been and where I’m going, and as long as I continue to evolve as a person so will my product." (Quoted from Harrell....the brand designer)
Kiminori Morishita
Kiminori Morishita’s style is characterized by crafted work on material, and more particularly on materials with a used feeling. His inspirations are based on military spirit, where the clothes are a subtle blend of a handcraft work, the use of technological materials opposed to absolute perfection.
The clothes are dyed, extra-dyed, shaved, pulverized, and modified carefully to create the single style of Kiminori Morishita.

Vena Cava
California natives Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock debuted their line Vena Cava in 2003. It has always been about slightly vintage-feeling but never stuffy, staid, or dated wares. The collection had both thirties polish and seventies dreaminess; a fresh look which spins on vintage mixed with an arty palette.
