This season’s power clash throws all the rules out the window
As a celebrity and professional clothes hanger, Sienna Miller has demonstrated her influence through her fashion choices over the years from "Boho Sienna", circa early noughties, to "Brit It Girl Sienna", traipsing the streets of her native London looking every inch the audacious Sloane. With recent film releases Foxcatcher, American
Sniper and Unfinished Business, Miller's wardrobe on her promo trail so far has showcased her maturity but still with her signature wit.
The actress recently stepped out in a striped blouse and striped skirt combination by Altuzarra that caused a flurry of attention for its bold - yet deceptively simple - approach to mixing prints. Clashing prints are not a new proposition, although the mixing of stripes can look both modern and classic.
The number of tailored pieces on offer from local designers is a good starting point. Much like the linear op-art movement of the 60s, the illusory power of wearing vertical striped pieces has the ability to create a long and lean look.
There are no real rules here, you can team horizontal stripes with horizontal, vertical with vertical or, if you're feeling adventurous, try blending a horizontally striped top with a vertically stripe pencil skirt.
