SAVANNAH MILLER AND ARTIST ROSE WYLIE IN CONVERSATION

Last night we found ourselves truly inspired at Westbourne Grove Church at ‘Savannah Miller and artist Rose Wylie in Conversation’ – an event hosted by the Friends of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, UK.

The evening marked the most recent Twenty8Twelve guest artist collaboration where Rose has designed two original t-shirt prints for Autumn/Winter 2010. Every season Sienna and Savannah search for and support an emerging artist whose work they admire; their work is then included on the swing tags of all Twenty8Twelve garments sold globally.

76 year old Rose Wylie is a talented artist who has recently been included in the ‘Women to Watch’ exhibition by the National Museum of Women in the Arts at Washington DC.

Throughout the discussion, Savannah and Rose described how their partnership came to be, citing key moments that resulted in the final designs.

The evening continued at the flagship Twenty8Twelve store on Westbourne Grove where Rose has also designed a window installation for the season. Her compelling artwork is on display and available to buy until the New Year.
